Nope, very limited quantity. I think it was only 23 that were brought into the country, excluding 4 demos.

Yup. 2.3 does not sound right.

Which means he is going to be over-paying on his annual licence because 2.3t is what the disc says.

Dunno what to tell you other than 2.3T for a vehicle of that size is fishy af.
Also considering:
The spec differences argument cannot be used for the disparity.

Pre-Owned Kia Stingers Are Already An Awesome Value
It’s no secret that we like the Kia Stinger. It’s a fun, rear- or all-wheel drive four-door fastback with driving dynamics on par with a lot of German metal. And while new ones can be had with significant deals if you know where to look, the pre-owned 2018 models may be an even better value.
The Kia Stinger starts new around $33,000 for a turbocharged four-cylinder model with RWD and tops out around $53,000 for a GT2 AWD with a twin-turbo V6. Despite some of the folks who say that that is way too much money for a Kia, the cars present a fantastic value compared to other offerings even at the asking prices.
That being said, there is nothing wrong with saving money by having someone else eat the depreciation, and like most premium Korean cars, these things have depreciated fast.
You can pick up a lightly used turbo-four model, which by the way is really under-appreciated, for under $25,000. That is about the same cost as a Honda Accord EX.

Only a few units were brought in a few months back. Halo vehicle. It was like close to R800k.
Oh that's expensive then I'll rather get a Lexus.
Kia is still a cheap brand.

Kia Stinger to be "absolute halo model"
Kia will reduce sales of its Stinger fastback to 500 this year, down by half from 2019. Due to its 3.3-litre petrol V6 (now the sole engine offered), this is necessary to negate the EU’s strict new emissions rules. Kia UK boss Paul Philpott said: “The Stinger will be an absolute halo model for us.”
