Number of Kia Stinger Scorpion edition

[LOCKSTEP]

Curious about the number of Scorpion editions that were actually built and sold. I've read that they were planning on making 250 per month but not sure if they met the numbers to keep it going. Saw somewhere that it was only 250 in total. If anyone can share any information or a location where I may be able to find it, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks

Officially they built 250 per month. So 3000 units total would be my guess, or aroud 5% of total stinger population.

I had initially thought that too but read that they didn’t sell what they expected to and that the production numbers fell drastically short of what they had anticipated. Are you basing this off the 250 per month X 12? Did you see somewhere that they actually did reach those numbers?

The only number that's available is 250 per month. I haven't seen any other information about them.So 12x250 would be my best guess. Of course it can be completely different number in reality.

They planned on 250 a month but demand wasn't there only made 250.
125 went straight to Canada with AWD and alcantara interior like the tribute edition.

125 went to USA
About 62 were ceramic silver
31 black
31 white
Of those half were awd the other half rear wheel
Half were red interior half black
I have the ceramic silver AWD black interior so about 17 total in my set up in the world

When Kia America unveiled the refreshed 2022 Stinger it teased something special: The Scorpion Special Edition. But little information about this vehicle was provided at the time. Now, just weeks later, the Scorpion is arriving in dealers. Offered in limited batches of just 250 units per month...

your asking the equivalent of a bot, since a "G" post is not an account, just a "guest" posting. at least half of them are once-offs, most of the rest are actual account holders forgetting to sign in, and subsequent posts after their "G" post are from their actual forum account. the above post is like the former. many of them post as trolls. the information reads legit because it is specific. but nothing followed, so, ignore it, that's my position.

250 was how many period. Not per month. Original it was to be 249 for US and 149 for Canada. On top of that you had to order the car. Dealers couldn't even get most time as each can be customized..

The Scorpion did not get released until June 1 so only six months how many are there out there?

I am a new member too and also have a 2022 Stinger GT2 Scorpion. Mine is AWD with Ceramic Silver paint. I bought it new in 2021 and currently have 38,195 miles on it. I've been trying to nail down exactly how many Scorpions were made with some difficulty since it's an appearance package and not tied to the VIN. Long story short and with help from AI, the best guesstimate is only 250 were made due to poor sales at the time. The leftover parts were used to make the 2023 Tribute Edition. 125 Scorpions made it to the US and 125 to Canada. Of The 125 to the US, 60-65 were AWD. If anyone has anymore detailed information or stats, I'd love to know it and the source.

AI consistently says that the total was revised down to 250 Scorpions total for the year, and as you say half went to Canada. All were AWD to Canada. Half of the 250 were Ceramic Silver. The other half was split between Black and White. Alcantara interior to Canada, Nappa to US, red and black split 50/50 in each color. So, if you have a red interior white or black exterior, you have one of c. 17 vehicles total made. Pretty rare beast!

But the "source" is a post by an unverified account, so, take it for what it's worth.

I tried to purchase a Tribute back in 2022 the day i ordered my current GT2
I wanted Build No 351, but firstly that wasn't a RHD build and secondly not 1 ever came to OZ, people who put deposits down had them refunded fairly quickly!

Enjoy what you guys have got over there..
