This could be just another reason to get excited about the Kia Stinger GT.
It’s going to arrive at the same time we lose our last Aussie rear-drive sedan, and a lot of people are of the opinion it will provide an affordable and fun alternative.
Well, maybe you already have with a rattly Rio in a sketchy Maccas carpark, trays under rears and all.
The 276kW/510Nm sedan, powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.3-litre V6, has plenty of grunt to get the rears lit up.
Need more convincing that it’ll be a proper performance car? We drove it around the Nürburgring and gave it a score of 4 out of 5 stars.
The sentiment from the YouTube comments for this video will likely echo across the land when the Stinger GT finally arrives in Oz:
“That thing could definitely use a V8,” and of course, “but it’s still a Kia.”
Still, when Australia gets its special exhaust-fitted Stingers, you can bet there will be plenty more videos like this.
Especially if a few brave souls start trying to find ways to get V8s into them.
