KIA Stinger in Thailand seems to have lost 100hp

[VocalNeal]

Reading on international sites the twin turbo V6 puts out 365-ish Hp but the Thai site claims only 255 hp. So where did the extra 110hp go or is it detuned for tax reasons?

 

OR are they showing pictures of V6 but quoting output from the 2l turbo? 

 

Maybe I'll go the the dealer and have look at exactly what is under the hood.

OK went to the dealer. We only get the 2 litre 4-banger here. V6 only for Europe I was told. Even with 200%  tax here , I don't think I will be paying 3.45 million for a turbo 2 litre.

The tax is 328%. 4 bangers in the states going for around 1 million baht ($30,000) and deals can be had.
