We Can't Decide Which Of These SEMA Kia Stinger GTs We Like Most
Would sir like his Stinger GT to be subtly modified, or an outlandish feast for the eyes? At the SEMA show this year, Kia is giving us the choice of both.
First off, we have the Stinger GT Wide Body. The work of West Coast Customs, it’s been dropped by 35mm at the front and 30mm at the rear onto suitably spangly 21-inch Keen fordged wheels. Wider arches cover the fatter wheels, and there’s a carbonfibre aero kit finishing off proceedings nicely.
At the other corner of Kia’s stand is the Stinger GT Federation. Yes, it doesn’t exactly fly under the radar with its custom orange point job, but the modifications are much more subtle here.
On the Federation you’ll find “body accent” parts on the rear spoiler, diffuser and bonnet vents from Air Design USA, a quad exhaust from Borla, and 20-inch TSW wheels. The suspension has been upgraded with Eibach springs and beefier anti-roll bars, while under the bonnet you’ll find a new K&N cold air intake.
The changes make the Stinger look just that little bit meaner, while also liberating an extra 15bhp from the 3.3-litre V6.
Which do you prefer: the Wide Body, or the Federation?
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Wow, the bright orange color really stings
When crowds hurt it’s usually because they get ‘Stang.
I like the wide one, low & stingy
I also like the orange one, cool & it stings
Seems like I’ll need to pull over someone today
It reminds me of the 86 headlight
Have you lost your glasses??
World: KIA is just a lame car man
KIA: U WOT M8? HAVE A STINGER

I dont like KIA as well, but damn, this one is hot.

I want the widebody, and I’d wrap it bright flappin orange. The best of both worlds!
The bright orange Stinger. Easy. Orange makes everything better; one of the reasons why I love the Viper TA above all else.
Ew. Orange is the worst car. Looks bad on every car.
I love orange cars.
It adds 10 horsepower too
