2018 Kia Stinger Tampa Clearwater St. Petersburg FL
The 2018 Kia Stinger is the first Kia sports car, and it will be on lots starting sometime in the middle of 2017, probably late in the summer. But we have plenty of information on what this splendid model has in store for when it does go live and blazes past the competition. If you're skeptical, look no further than the two awards the 2018 Stinger garnered at its very first auto show, the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit in January 2017: The EyesOn Design award which honors the best in production model design, and the Cars.com Best in Show award.
The 2018 Stinger will have two available engines, one for each trim option. The Stinger GT trim has a maxed-out 365 horsepower Lambda II engine, a V6 twin-turbo that positively hums with energy while you can reach speeds of around 150 MPH and also enjoy the comforts of the interior, which is in the Gran Turismo style, or GT for short. GT means you have a sports car that can win races but you also have a car built with a comfortable interior for longer drives. The base Stinger trim comes with the Theta II engine, a turbocharged engine with 255 HP and plenty of kick inside as well.
