Kia has well and truly answered the question ‘how much can we modify the Kia Stinger?’

Quite a bit, apparently.

The Kia Stinger GT Federation is Kia’s attempt to show the world that it can build its own aftermarket following, and to showcase the Stinger’s capabilities to tuner enthusiasts.

The Federation has proven exiting to fans of the Stinger as it’s not just a visual change, but it also gets a slight performance boost.

A K&N cold-air intake and a low-restriction quad-tipped Borla exhaust are the only mods the drivetrain is affected by, but alone they provide an extra 11kW. Not massive, but it does bode well for the engine’s tuning potential.

The other Stinger joining the GT Federation was the Kia Stinger GT Wide Body, built by West Coast Customs of Pimp My Ride fame.

With no Xzibit in sight, we don’t know how many TV screens the low-and-wide Stinger has, but we do know it rides on 21-inch forged wheels, performance tyres, and scores a lightweight carbon fiber aero kit.

It does, however, have a 630 watt Harmon Kardon sound system with integrated subwoofer. Consider this ride pimped.
