Watch A Kia Stinger GT Beat A V8 Ford Mustang In A Straight Line
On the face of it, the V8 Ford Mustang and the most powerful Kia Stinger don’t seem like the most obvious competitors, but they’re much more similar than you might realise. Depending on where you are in the world, they cost about the same. The Mustang is only a little more powerful, they’re both rear-wheel drive, acceleration stats are near-identical, and, um, they both have ‘GT’ in the name.
So, what happens when you pitch the pair into a straight-line battle? In the case of this showdown from Australia’s Motoring, it’s the 3.3-litre V6-powered Kia that comes out on top, and by a decent margin.
It also has the benefit of an extra pair of doors, plus a better warranty. But then again, it doesn’t have a thumping-great N/A V8.
Which would you have?
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.

Text under the title is a bit messed up Matt Robinson
Not hard to beat a Mustang. Impressive from a Kia, though.
I think you’re missing the word “stop”
