We’ve been waiting for the arrival of the Kia Stinger for some time following its first public preview in Malaysia in November 2017. Now, it looks like Kia Malaysia is gearing up to introduce the stunning sedan with this teaser on its official Facebook page.
“They’ve been talking about it. You will be too, soon…#stinger,” reads the caption on the post, which is accompanied by a frontal shot of the Stinger in GT guise. Beyond that, further details like a launch date or the suggested variant line-up are non-existent.
If last year’s preview was any indication, we could be getting the Stinger GT, which is powered by a 3.3 litre twin-turbo V6 paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission – the Lambda II powerplant produces 365 hp at 6,000 rpm and 510 Nm of torque from 1,300 to 4,500 rpm.
Those figures make the Stinger the most powerful series production Kia ever, and the GT will sprint from 0-100 km/h in 4.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 269 km/h. The Stinger GT is available in rear- and all-wheel drive setups, with the LHD unit previewed last year being the latter.
Other available engines for the Stinger include a 2.0 litre turbocharged four-cylinder with 255 PS and 353 Nm, as well as a 2.2 litre turbodiesel option that serves up 197 hp and 440 Nm.
