Yahoo Autos Kia Stinger replacement said to be 604-hp 'GT1' electric flagship coming in 2025
A trail of clues points to the Hyundai Motor Group prepping a flagship electric sedan for Kia, a full-size four-door a little larger than the departing Stinger with more power than the recently arrived EV6 GT. A report in South Korea's ET News (translated) has more details about the project said to be codenamed GT1 and due on the market for 2025.
The car is said to sit on an evolution of the current e-GMP platform called eM designed as an Integrated Modular Architecture (IMA). The IMA is akin to Volkswagen's MQX and MEX platforms, wherein motors, batteries and electronics can be rearranged to create a wide range of vehicles. At its most potent, the GT1 would house a 113.2-kilowatt-hour battery juicing two motors that together produce 604 horsepower, and that could get between 700 and 800 kilometers (435 to 497 miles) on a charge on Europe's WLTP regime. Could that interest fans of the Kia Stinger (pictured) denied a second generation of the critical darling?
