In 2017, Kia surprised the automotive world with a device that is completely atypical for this time. Fastback Stinger certainly stood out among the Eastern automotive industry. The car has been designed using the sacred achievements of Western civilization in handling, dynamics and handling characteristics.
It seems that especially for the implementation of this ambitious project in 2014, the Koreans hijacked the head of BMW’s M division, Albert Biermann. Who was responsible for work on the BMW M3 E30 Group A at the Bavarian; prepared for the launch of the M Coupé based on the Z3, M5 E39 and M3 E46; Developed the racing M3 GTR, the 320i for the ETCC and WTCC series and even the Formula BMW car. Therefore, the Kia Stinger was distinguished by excellent driving characteristics. However, like any niche car, it never became a bestseller. But he lived to old age. After all, 5 years is the age limit for the existence of a modern model.
And to see the veteran retire, Kia will release a limited version of the fastback that will end his life. But it will make it beautiful. For example, the special version of the Kia Stinger Tribute Edition is equipped with a 3.3-liter V6 GT engine with twin turbocharger. The matte gray Moonscape body rests on wheels with 19-inch discs that hide Brembo brakes. And in the cabin, leather and carbon fiber compete for the owner’s attention. And after the release of 1000 copies of the Stinger Tribute Edition in 2023, the history of the model will unfortunately come to an end.
