Kia Stinger Tribute

A lot is changing, but our love of high performance never wavers. As the Kia Stinger takes its final lap, its bold acceleration rockets by in a new form - starting with the thundering 576 horsepower EV6 GT.

Stinger GT has to be the greatest car I’ve ever owned. Such a thrill to drive, yet such an amazing daily commuter as well. I even used it to bring home an 8 foot ladder from Lowe’s. R.I.P stinger, you will truly be missed.

[@KiaWorldwideOfficial]

Gone but never forgotten! The Stinger is a great car.

[@cherifincher-gray1830]

Bought my 2022 Stinger GT2 twin turbo May 2022. Red leather interior, tilt-up open sunroof, fully loaded. 20's on the back, 18's on the front, Brembo brakes, etc. Ceramic Silver! This car is a beast . . . 0-60 in 4.2! I'm almost 70 yrs old and was raised on a drag strip. But no way I'm going to put this baby on the strip or do stupid donuts. I just love when a Charger or Camero pulls up beside me & gives me a thumbs up! Likely the last car I'll ever own and going to love every minute of it!!!

I've never been a massive Kia fan, but the Stinger... It hit all the buttons for me. This car, this film, perfectly encapsulates the amount of love and passion that went into the Stinger, and as such will give back to its owners. I'm a little teary eyed, this is an incredible tribute video. In an ideal world, the Stinger would live on forever, but the market unfortunately says otherwise. Bravo, Kia. I hope future generations recognise how amazing this car is.

[@rylans.5365]

The EV push is necessary. First off all, you know the drill, climate change. Like it or believe it or not, our planet is warming faster than ever and will effect (and is currently effecting) all aspects of life. From food production, severe weather, it’s all here. Also, to the people who say that gas cars should never be gotten rid of. At the rate of our consumption of oil, gas, and coal, they all have a lifespan based on current supply and demand estimates. It is predicted that oil will last up to 50 years, natural gas 50-80 years, and coal 100+ years. While you may not like it, this ultimately has to happen.

Bel hommage pour la Kia Stinger. Une excellente berline sportive qui n'a pas eu le succès qu'elle méritait face au S5 et 340i. Si, j'avais eu les moyens financiers, j'en aurais acheté une immédiatement. La Kia EV6 GT a l'air d'être une très bonne électrique puissante et haut de gamme ; mais le bruit du V6, les vibrations qui remontent dans les sièges et le volant lorsque le moteur hurle, l'odeur du moteur très chaud, les cliquetis de l'échappement après des tours sur circuit, tout ceci sont des remontées d'informations qui resteront incomparable par rapport à l'électrique... Actuellement, je suis conducteur d'une Proceed après avoir eu une Cee'd SW...

Man I am a huge Kia fan. Have had five Kias in the family. Got two kias in my driveway right now. Makes me wanna trade in my 2019 Forte for a tribute edition stinger. This was such a well-done video. Stinger was a ground breaking for vehicle and put Kia on the performance car map and into the hearts of car enthusiasts. It finished the job the Optima started and the EV6 will continue. Bring back the second gen stinger with the retired tau 5.0L v8? Good things don't have to end Kia. I also think that the Stinger will be sought after years after production ends because there wasn't a large true rwd/awd sports sedan like the stinger from a mainstream brand. It was peerless. A unicorn. A car people will treasure for years to come like the Mark 4 Supra.

I almost couldn't like this video because the Stinger/G70 line brought the sports sedan back to the masses, even if it didn't quite make the waves it should have. It stretched the value play for what a sports sedan should cost and what you should get for that money and put a serious threat to much more storied contenders. This is an excellent homage to a car that the world needed to see from a truly innovative automaker. Well done.

People get the impression that EV’s are weak, wimpy, and incapable of gas counterparts. When in reality, EV’s are and can be performance vehicles, virtually outdoing hp compared to many gas models. Not to mention that they have more stability, with a lot of EV’s having standard AWD and dual motors.

This is a wonderful video. However, I do not see the EV6 as an electric equivalent to the Stinger given the body style. A bigger hatchback version of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 would be more fitting. I am dreading when my lease comes to an end. I will probably have to buy my Stinger out as there is not a good alternative gas or electric.
