Not just beautiful - Kia Stinger GT with a sharper spike

Kia's motto for the new Stinger GT is: "Because the journey is the destination." Who would question that in view of its appearance and the whopping 370 hp? Rather, even seasoned BMW, Audi or Mercedes drivers will murmur: “Oh, a Kia!” When the new Stinger GT sports sedan appears. Because one thing is certain: no Korean vehicle has ever presented itself as elegant and sporty. And Kia deliberately chose the name “Stinger” (in German “Stachel”). The GT is supposed to stab buyers of an Audi S5 or BMW 440i Gran Coupé in particular. In order for it to work properly, the Stinger GT still needs a little "fine-tuning", as the suspension professionals from H&R believe. This is exactly what is now available in the form of sport springs specially made for the Stinger GT, which of course are matched to the combination with the standard built-in dampers in the tried and tested H&R manner.

The spring set ensures that the body is lowered by 30 millimeters and the Korean gets a clearly visible dynamic effect. There is only as much air as necessary between the wheels and the wheel arch edges. Of course, this is also noticeable in terms of driving dynamics: the Stinger GT remains even more relaxed and directional compared to the series, especially with brisk load changes. The sport springs are now available and include an expert opinion. The last bit on top is available on request with the TRAK + wheel spacers, with which standard and retrofit wheels can be perfectly aligned to the body edges.

Ps: Many other Kia models like the "Rio", the "Cee'd", the "Sportage" or the Optima can be upgraded perfectly thanks to H&R sport springs.
