The classic coupe is now powered by a supercharged 6.2 L LT5 V8 capable of 775 hp and 715 lb-ft of torque. The motor features forged steel crank and rods, forged aluminum pistons, A356T6 heads, dry sump, and a 2.65 L supercharger. Behind that is a 10L90 10-speed automatic transmission and 9-inch rear end.

Everything sits on Roadster Shop’s SPEC chassis with Fox SV adjustable coilovers, parallel 4-link rear suspension, and Baer Pro+ six-piston calipers with 14-inch rotors. Those are covered by Fikse wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Sport tires (245/35, 345/30).

The interior was turned over to Miranda Built for custom upholstery on the door panels, center console, and Kia Stinger seats. It also features Dakota Digital RTX gauge cluster, two Vintage Air Gen 4 Magnum AC systems, and a leather covered steering wheel by Stitch Girl.
