30 June 2021 – Celebrating Kia’s first appearance at the Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard, the brand will display its highly anticipated new electric car, the Kia EV6, as well as the sensational, one-off ‘Stinger GT420’.
Claimed to be the largest and greatest celebration of car culture in the world, the four-day summer event runs from Thursday, 8 July, to Sunday, 11 July, and will feature an exhilarating array of the rarest, newest and most exotic vehicles ever created.
The Kia EV6 is set to rock the ‘Electric Avenue – The Road to 2030’ presented by Sky Zero, a must-see new exhibit designed to showcase the breadth of electric vehicles available now and in the near future. The exhibit will take place in a striking new structure, situated at the heart of the Festival of Speed between the ‘Future Lab presented by bp’ and ‘First Glance Paddock’, immersing visitors with colourful visuals and a futuristic soundscape.
Featuring a 77.4 kWh battery pack and 800 V charging as standard, the EV6 promises a range up to 510 km and charging time in as little as 18 minutes for a 10-80% charge*. Kia engineers finalising the development of the EV6 GT are targeting a 3.5-second 0-to-100 km/h sprint.
Accompanying the EV6 at the event is the incredible ‘Stinger GT420’, which will be displayed in the celebrated ‘First Glance Paddock’. This one-off, in-house developed track car features a staggering 315 kW and 560 Nm torque from its finely tuned 3.3-litre V6 twin-turbocharged petrol engine. On the track it has impressive agility, due to customised suspension tuning and components, substantial weight reduction and uprated Brembo brakes.
Look out for the special #FoS hashtag on social media.
