Back in 2018, Kia UK"s pre-production Stinger was about to be retired from duty. It had fulfilled its purpose, and was on the verge of being sent to the crusher (as, indeed, all pre-production cars eventually are), when some bright individual within the company decided it ought to be saved. And saved it was this is the Kia Stinger GT420. A stripped-out, more powerful Stinger built by the company"s UK arm in collaboration with the Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Centre in Germany. The first job was to add more power. As standard the Stinger GT S makes 365bhp from its 3.3-litre twin-turbocharged V6, but new spark plugs, a new air filter, a freer-breathing de-catted Milltek exhaust and other little tweaks mean the GT420 makes you guessed it 420bhp. Torque is up too, from 376 to 413lb ft.
