10 Vehicles That Modified Dramatically From Idea to Manufacturing

The Kia Stinger’s destiny is unsure, however frankly, I’m not optimistic. Rumors of a automobile’s dying usually don’t swirl with no trace of fact to them. It’s honest sufficient that we’re again asking these questions, as a result of it took us so lengthy to get the Stinger to start with.

On this case, the manufacturing mannequin was previewed with not one, however two ideas. The primary one, the 2011 GT, was clearly the first inspiration for what would finally develop into the Stinger six years later. The idea had a softer nostril and a extra slender profile, with the form of low greenhouse you can solely actually ever get away with on a design examine. It additionally had rear-hinged doorways. I perceive why it needed to change, however I typically want the GT throughout.

Three years later, although, Kia turned up with one thing sudden: one other smaller, easier idea referred to as the GT4 Stinger. What’s extra, this one solely had two doorways. It regarded unbelievable, each on paper and in packaging, and within the months after its reveal we puzzled aloud what grew to become of it. That was in early 2015 — two years earlier than the four-door manufacturing Stinger lastly hit the market. All advised, we’ve spent extra time questioning concerning the Stinger’s existence than appreciating it whereas we’ve had it, and that’s only a rattling disgrace.
