I have the 2018 GT2 RWD. I love the car! I’ve “only” taken it to 130MPH LOL. You were damn close to max which is 167M/269K, that section seems rather bumpy for those speeds. I think the Stinger handled it self very well for the conditions. I enjoyed seeing it wrung out like that. Thanks!
Wow! I knew it was fast but I had no clue that damn fast. That is crazy thanks for the video I love it. I love my Stinger GT2 but I don't think I am brave enough to go that fast I have gotten mine to 111 but scared myself because of other drivers so I quickly dropped back down. So it was nice to see the capability of it.
This car was literally designed by Germans for cruising on the Autobahn! It does seem very bouncy at top speed, but I wouldn't be constantly driving 255+ kph even though the car can do it.
I had my stinger for few months now every time a amg wants to have a dig race I haven’t lost yet. The stinger is so dam fast, I found a way to make higher psi of take off. It got to be performance car of the decade.
I got a little bit confused over my 2023. It's 370hp and 550nm of torque, the meter of display even measures it. Although there is no need to compare this car to a more insane AMG or M4/M5, we can easily say though that it does a very good job at beating starter AMGs, even the 2023 Mustang, or the BMW 440i xDrive competes with this say so. Imo, this car for a very similar price brand new (here), offers more than that.
I marked 268km (barely 270km limit) but it can go up to 290-300km (little bit takes some times). Stinger is wonderful GT car. Kia should have not be discontinued !! Really sad !!
Bro dont u get scared acqua plaining in wet conditions? I have acqua plained twice lol i ndver go fast in rain amymore scary as what types do u recommend that wont spin out
I drove one and considering I own an F90 M5 the Kia felt extremely light at higher speeds. It felt like it was waving from side to side as if wind was getting under it...
Undertray, front splitter, canards if you felt crazy, a better rear splitter, ducktail wing and bigger turbos, injectors, some serious suspension upgrades. Should be better than a F90 at that point, but you'd probably be spending the same. Might be a b it more reliable too though?
It might have to do with all the chips that go into the car. I have a 2018 GT2 hichroma red awd and I absolutely love driving this car. Also with the price of fuel and the price if everything going up not too many want to buy a sports car. Kia also did not advertise this car very much. In fact I’ve seen a lot of commercials about the SUV’s but never the stinger. I couldn’t understand it. I fell in love with this car before it come out. It was in a magazine and it was after I had already bought my optima but I couldn’t resist. I had to get it!!!
I have a 2018 gt2 rear wheel drive and it sucks. Maybe it's because its the first year but it doesn't feel confident at all at normal highway speeds, the rear end always wants to kick out, the rear end makes noise, the transmission slips. It might just be a lemon but I've read threads with other people having the same issues. This guy must have the non electronic adjustable suspension and has AWD
I own a G70 the sister car of the stinger, same exact platform so v6 AWD 8speed auto that's from the stinger, The fastest I've been was 256KMH, it was like butter and felt like it could keep going but that's the fastest I've ever driven my heart could not handle faster lol, that was also on a road trip so the car was packed with luggage and 4 people, its limited to 276 but if you do take it off these can get to 300KMH I've heard
@@Moscarblog hahahahaha definitely not safe on public roads, and if you do removed the governer its tune that does it and car has a lot more power tuned too so could def reach 300
@@Moscarblog if you had the summer tires like on mine (M Pilot Sport 4) you’d have been off the road in that weather. That probably was all she had and it was damn close to max.
The car is tops out at 165 mph, but who in America is going drive that fast on the highway. You're either running away from the cops or destined to die because you'll surely crash. Not practical.
I would imagine with a custom drive mode, you could have the sport drive train and the comfort suspension. Not sure if there would be a big difference to be honest.

Thank you for your great comment! I‘m really glad you enjoyed 👍
This car is a killer for real 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨✨✨

😊😊
Awesome and thank you for taking us on this ride. Have a 2019 GT2 that is a dream to drive. KIA knocked it out of the park with this cruiser!

I 100% agree! Thanks for your thoughtfull comment my friend!
Mine comes in a few months, can't wait!
Absolute amazing car, Congratulations!
Enjoy it!
Just in time before its production ended
How much was it?
@@Leo-pd6qy I got it for 72k Australian dollars with the blackout package. Black on black
Bruh, that's close to 150~5 mph. If the engine can handle that, that's fucking legit man. That was fucking awesome.
Yup!
I got my redsport to 245kmph in long ass twisty bends . On straight it would Max out to 270

In America that equals to 155mph before it starts to lose power. That’s not bad at all
kia really stepping up never thought i would want now i do
Exactly what I think! Ev6 Gt and new EV9 are also amazing

Literally theyr best looking and best driving car
Discontinued because all car manufacturers are a b*itch to the world economic forum pushing eveyrone to go electric. They must be stopped
I’m quite surprised how quick it gets up to 200kph
That was crazy... i enjoyed the video. #more
Thanks a lot!

Wish you had a Dragy to measure the 0-100, 1/4 mile, and 100-200 kmh times. We would also be able to see the true GPS speed.
I have one on the way!! Look at my community Posts, the next videos will be with Time measurements!❤️

@C R just saying but BMW == Break my Wallet.
Can't understand why KIA discontinuing their best vehicle?
Sadly yes! Apparently it didn‘t sell!
@@Moscarblog The Stinger needs a manual option, Why KIA didn't put a 6 speed manual since it's debut in 2018 is a head shaker........
Because our government wants all electric.

it's because stupid north americans don't buy sedans anymore. i'm always one of the few on the road.
Sweet
The needle on the fuel gauge is awful close to E. That would suck to run out of fuel on the autobahn lol. Fun video to watch though.
No worries I refueled instantly after
Is it AWD or RWD?
4WD!
mega 😄
I've had mine for 3 months, it's been in the shop for 2 and is still broken :(
Damn, thats sad I hope it will get well..
Is it new? Do you have Lemon Laws where you are? Document everything. Hoping for the best but remember, it’s only a car. You should have some rights.
just could be a bit lighter tho..2 tons is heavy af
The G70 is the one if you want the same drive train and lighter weight.
👍❤️👍❤️
Thank you
hmmm, weak after 250, I think I'm gonna pass on this car for my daily needs :D

Setz dich doch mal richtig hin. Du sitzt viel zu weit vom Steuer und du wirst alles brechen, wenn du ein Unfall baust.
