I am sitting at a stoplight in New York City, during a torrential downpour that is positively biblical, when a guy comes running up and raps on the driver’s side window. Thinking “WTF?” I crack the top open a smidge. “Beautiful car man! Who makes it?” he asks. “Kia.”

Yeah, the two air vents on the hood are fake and the quad chrome-tipped exhausts aren’t attached to the mufflers, but nearly everything else about the 2019 Kia Stinger GT2 is the real deal. A 3.3L Twin Turbo GDI engine with 365 horsepower rips from a dead stop to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds, better numbers than in a $90,000 Porsche Panamera—for roughly $40,000 less.

What’s the point of redlining if you can’t hear it too, right? For drivers concerned about impressing neighbors and bosses with what’s on the outside, they can go ahead and spend the extra dough for a BMW 6 Series, Audi A7 or even the aforementioned Porsche. But if you’re someone who is more focused on what’s inside a car (and your wallet), then the Kia Stinger is made for you. 2019 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD MSRP $50,300
