GT4 Stinger Concept - AutomotiveSTYLE

If you saw today's unveiling of Kia's GT4 Stinger Concept car, you just might be thinking that what you "thought" you knew about Kia could be totally wrong.

Hearkening back to the glory days of purebred, affordable sports cars, Kia Motors America (KMA) today unveiled the brand’s most aggressive concept car ever when wraps came off the GT4 Stinger at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS).  

In one of my favorite colors of the season, Kia’s eye-catching design language moves in a bold new direction with the introduction of the GT4 Stinger. The concept pushes the boundaries of performance with a rear-drive 2+2 sports car that places man and machine in harmony on the road or track.  

It comes as no surprise that the GT4 Stinger is the wild style child of Kia’s California design team, home to its 2012 predecessor, the Track’ster concept.  And like the Track’ster, the GT4 Stinger’s racy appeal is more than skin deep.

My favorite features...

• Ignition Yellow exterior
• Molded leather race-inspired bucket seats
• 315 turbocharged horsepower
• Six-speed manual transmission (because it has to be fun to drive)
• 20" Pirelli P-Zero performance tires
