Meet The StingAir: An Asphalt-Hugging, Diesel-Powered Tuned Kia Stinger

A German tuner called AMJ-Fahrzeugdesign took a closer look at the Kia Stinger and decided that it needs a complete makeover.

As a result, they proceeded to add an assortment of aerodynamic parts to it, such as a front lip, side sills, ducktail spoiler, diffuser insert and rear spoiler, with the latter two being imported from Korea, alongside the rear lighting kit.

With the aftermarket components strapped on to the body of the sports sedan, AMJ-Fahrzeugdesign then turned to Singcom for the bespoke wrap, which combines stylized writing with black graphical elements and a touch of glitter and neon yellow on the pearl white background. The suit is protected against chipping by a ceramic coating.

The Bilstein Performance air suspension is part of the build and comes with an electronic controller that allows the driver to adjust the ground clearance. At its lowest setting, when even a leaf becomes a considerable obstacle, it still leaves room under the arches for the Tomason TN19 rims, which measure 8.5×20 inches on all four corners and are shod in 225/30 front and 255/30 rear tires.

The cockpit of the car, which was nicknamed the StingAir, is still a work in progress, but even so, it sports a few upgrades of its own, such as the central part of the steering wheel and steering column that have been wrapped in gray Alcantara. AMJ-Fahrzeugdesign promises that the tuned Stinger will soon feature a broader combination of leather and Alcantara.

As for the powertrain, the StingAir packs the stock 2.2-liter turbodiesel available in Europe that delivers 200 PS (197 HP / 147 kW) and 440 Nm (325 lb-ft) of torque, allowing the factory model to hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 8.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 225 km/h (140 mph).
