| The 2018 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD. |
"This is the car they said couldn't be built by this company." That's been said a lot about Kia products
over the past 24 years as the South Korean carmaker kept stepping up its game, first in terms of content, then quality, then styling and now, performance.
With the Stinger GT2 AWD, Kia has built a 167 mile per hour, zero-to-60 in 4.7 seconds, 12.9 seconds in the quarter-mile sports sedan. And lest you think that the headline above is hype, Kia benchmarked the BMW 4-series in developing the Stinger. And most of its performance stats put it right in the hunt with mid-sizers from BMW, Audi and Mercedes. The 0-60 time is actually a tenth of a second quicker than the BMW 440i Gran Coupe, and a full second quicker than the Audi A5 Sportback.
