The GT4 Stinger was crafted at the brand’s California design studio and is inspired by Kia’s success racing two turbocharged Optima sedans in the Pirelli World Challenge series, and Kia U.S. designers’ gearhead character.

“Driving enjoyment was the No.1 priority in designing the GT4 Stinger,” Tom Kearns, chief designer-Kia Design Center America, says in a statement.
Kearns calls the sports-car concept a “throwback to days when driving a car was a visceral experience that wasn’t muted by electronic gimmickry.”
Kia retuned the Forte compact’s 173-hp 2.0L turbocharged and direct-injected 4-cyl. engine to make 315 hp in the GT4.
A close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission transmits power to the rear wheels. Pirelli’s 20-in. P-Zero tires wrap around 20-in. aluminum center-lock wheels with carbon-fiber inserts.
Brakes are Brembo’s Gran Turismo 2-piece, 15-in. (38-cm) cross-drilled rotors using 4-piston calipers.
