Kia Stinger GT Wide Body by WestCoast Customs

[Kia Stinger News]

If you're in the camp that says the Kia Stinger GT looks a bit too tame for its sporty aspirations, then perhaps you'll like a modded version that's headed to SEMA. In collaboration with West Coast Customs, Kia has spiced up the Stinger with a host of performance-oriented touches.

The special Stinger GT gets a gloss black front grille, a carbon-fiber aero kit, 21-inch forged wheels, and widebody fender flares. Also look for a lowered front and rear suspension as well as a rear diffuser. As you can see in the teaser image, the Stinger GT features bold quad exhaust tips. Finally, Kia promises ?exceptional finishes? to the cockpit.

In addition to the unique Stinger, Kia says it will bring two other concept vehicles to the SEMA show. The big reveal will happen October 31.

We recently spent some quality track time with the 2018 Kia Stinger and Stinger GT. The standard Stinger, which packs 255 hp from a 2.0-liter turbo-four, managed 60 mph in 6.6 seconds, but the more potent Stinger GT hit the mark in 4.8 seconds. The GT delivers 365 hp from a 3.3-liter twin-turbo V-6.

I'll wait until the final product before commenting.

For some reason I feel it is missing a Whale Tail and a big Monster sticker across the back window. Hopefully it is just the way the picture presents the mods, but I am not a fine so far.

 

[Stingin' Away]

No.

 

[VegasStinger]

I've never understood the appeal of these wide fender flares that they either rivet or glue onto cars.

 

[StingerMike]

If the rear diffuser makes it to aftermarket I'd buy it.

 

[ATXStinger]

Rendered it up for you Mike.

 

[CajunStinger]

That actually looks really good with the squared exhaust tips.

 

[StingerMike]

Rendered it up for you Mike.

 

[SeoulStinger]

Squared tips look much more aggressive.
