Intelligent Distribution of Power

All-wheel drive (AWD) Stinger models combine thrilling rear-drive motoring with all the rough-road and inclement-weather benefits of AWD. That means confident, carefree driving in almost any condition, including snowy, icy and wet roads. The intelligent control system features Dynamic Torque Vectoring Control which addresses any traction or stability requirements by instantaneously adapting to road-surface changes and sending torque to the front wheels as needed.

Lambda 3.3 T-GDI engine

A twin turbocharger helps this top-of-the-line V-6 engine achieve considerable torque over a broad rpm range. The exhaust manifold is integrated with the cylinder head for added power, and an electronic thermostat helps provide precise temperature control.

Theta II 2.0 T-GDI engine

A twin-scroll turbocharger boosts low- to mid-rev efficiency while newly applied technologies provide phenomenal combustion efficiency. The engine produces maximum power output of 255 ps at 6,200 rpm and maximum torque output of 353 Nm from 1,400 to 4,000 rpm.

8-speed automatic transmission

Smooth shifts are what you'll notice first with the 8-speed rear-wheel drive automatic transmission. Its algorithms ensure quick and seamless gear changes while helping to maximize fuel efficiency.

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC ensures optimal braking performance and directional control by automatically delivering the right amount of braking force to each wheel based on evaluation of engine torque and driving circumstances.

Drive Mode Select (DMS)

The Stinger's DMS includes five modes, accessible from a dial behind the shift lever, that change the driving characteristics by automatically adjusting how the engine, transmission, suspension, steering and AWD operate, while even altering the engine sound.

Front-bumper-integrated air curtain & aero fender garnish

An air curtain that helps manage airflow, reduce drag and direct cooling air to the radiator is integrated into the front bumper. Lower apertures direct airflow to the wheel wells, helping to cool the brakes. In addition to the fuel savings and noise reduction that accompany reduced drag, the air dam's contours improve driving stability. Meanwhile, the aero fender garnish pays tribute to classic design cues of high-performance sports cars.

Rear integrated diffuser

An integrated diffuser panel beneath the rear bumper helps to control airflow leaving the underside of the body, preventing the four exhaust pipes from creating drag under the car. It pays homage to racing diffusers which lower the turbulence that can occur when low-pressure air under the car meets higher pressure ambient air. Longitudinal ridges help provide directional stability.

Lipped trunk lid edge

To improve stability and optimize the vortex of potentially turbulent air that forms behind the Stinger when it travels at higher speeds, the trailing edge of the trunk lid features an aerodynamic lip that provides a spoiler effect along with a pleasing aesthetic design detail.

Multiple aerodynamic underbody covers

The aerodynamic contours everyone can see in the silhouette and panels of a car are familiar to most people. But just as important to the aerodynamics equation is how air disperses underneath the vehicle, where the components often have complex contours that can result in drag. For this reason, the Stinger uses a system of sturdy underbody covers below the engine and transmission, on each side of the cabin and on each side of the rear suspension. These covers reduce airflow resistance of the underside of the body when travelling at higher speeds.

Noise, vibration & harshness (NVH)

Inside and out, new insulation materials abound, and every element of the Stinger has been engineered to raise the standard for a smooth, quiet ride. The engine room and dash get extra insulation while padding quiets joints of the body pillars and frame. The exhaust has been reconfigured, and the rear cross-member stiffened, while side mirrors and doors are sculpted to minimize noise and drag.
