GTS production numbers

[GTSfor2]

Does anyone have the actual production numbers for the GTS I know they were planing on 800 units but have not been able to find actual numbers

The number list likely does not exist.

A pic is worth 800 words.

800 GTS units were built, 400 were AWD and 400 RWD!!

Correct. I think the OP was talking about specific number of the 800 for each owner.

But, I can certainly be wrong.

Good luck getting any actual production numbers from Kia. I asked them for a production breakdown of Stinger trim levels for the 2019 model year (something GM has gladly assisted me with for even vanilla cars) and they told me they don't give out that information.

It's on their media site. Took me about 30 seconds to find it.

Then please share your incredible insight with the rest of us, because all I can find are straight sales numbers for the model, nothing for the various trim levels breaking down 4 bangers vs. GTs vs GT1s, etc.

I got my 1 of 800 yesterday afternoon. Love it. Raining in South Carolina today with high winds so it is parked until tomorrow. I haven't bought a new car since 2008 so I am quite overwhelmed with all of the technology. I could not believe it when I saw 5 owners manual books in the glovebox. That is some seriously detailed information. Looks like I need to baby the engine for 600 miles. That is gonna be difficult but doable.

Welcome to the newest GTS! RWD or D-AWD? How long were you waiting? You could take a pic or two, inside. It has been done before.

Good luck on the 600, it was hard not to really run it, I just hit 601 going to do an oil change and should be ready to go. Unfortunately it is snowing today with ice so looks like I will need to wait!!!

I’m trying to find out but I’m assuming that the last three of the vin might be the number we are looking for but I can be completely wrong.

I am upset to say that the vin would only work if you got a list of every Gts vin.

Once I wash it and clean it up I will post some pictures. It is rwd. I haven't posted any pictures on this site yet. Is it a straight forward process?

In the lower right corner of the screen are three green buttons; the middle one is "upload a file".

A couple of pictures that I took this weekend.

I also thought I would be the only stinger owner in my city. Well right after I took delivery from the transport truck I then road down past my home and low and behold I have a neighbor with a gray stinger. So there goes the only one in town and it is in my neighborhood. I laughed and was amused by it. Any I don’t know the owner but he has driven BMW’s for 20 years or so.

I point out how unlucky and inept I am at seeing Stingers "in the wild." But there is a Ceramic Silver just down the road from us that I see at odd times, parked in its usual spot; I think that the guy has odd working schedules or hours. I can go for weeks and not see the CS parked there, and wonder if he's moved on; then there it is.
