Kia is preparing an electric sedan that would take the name EV8, according to a document discovered in South Korea. Auto123 has the details.
When Kia pulled the plug on its Stinger sedan after a brief existence on the market, many thought that was the end of the line for it, or at least in its existing iteration. Performance sedans have become a scarce commodity across the industry.
The reports trace back to a leaked document obtained and reported on by The Korean Car Blog. That document reveals the production schedule for the brand's next models. And in there, we have a replacement for the Stinger, set to take the EV8 name. The car will be based on the Hyundai Group's upcoming electric platform , an evolution of the E-GMP structure currently serving the EV6 and EV9 models. eM will also underpin other Hyundai Group models, such as the future Genesis GV90.
The model's output would peak at 612 hp thanks to the presence of units of 268 hp at the front, 449 hp at the rear. It's a far cry from the 365 hp offered by the V6-powered Stinger.

Hyundai and Kia to Release High-Performance EV Successor to StingerThe Hyundai and Kia Group continue to unveil new models based on their highly successful e-GMP platform. However, the automaker's brands are already planning their next-generation vehicles, as indicated by an allegedly leaked union production schedule. For Kia, that will start with a high-performance successor to the Stinger, code-named GT1, and referred to as the EV8, though the name has not been confirmed yet. The sports sedan is expected to be based on the group's next-generation EV architecture. Around mid-2023, Hyundai previewed the platform under the name Integrated Modular Platform (IMA), but in these documents, it is simply referred to as the eM platform. It's anticipated to debut with the new Genesis GV90 in 2025, following which Hyundai and Kia will release their own models based on the architecture.
