Anybody seen this before? Claims to be the 2009 Tib.



My guess is it's a chop of alot of cars (Sonata wheels, HCD8 grille/face, etc) and not official. Still cool even if it's a fake.

Any ideas? Once the engine starts on by tiburon 2003 GT, the air bag console light always turns off in a few secs. This week it stays on while I'm driving. Disconnecting the Negative ground on the battery did not fix the problem.

It started with an engine light on and P304 diagnostic code and after 3 trips to the dealer, the car I drove for less than 2 weeks, has been in the shop for a month and may be ready tomorrow. The last adjustment is putting in a new engine wire harness-hope this is works!

I think these are for a tibby can someone confirm. I drive a Sonata and the company sold me these sent the wrong ones and I can't get a refund.

i like what they look like, and i was reading somewhere that it might be a 2.7l supercharged motor in it. just wondering if anyone knew for sure what they are going to put in it, if its superchaged im going to wait and get the 07 so i dont void my warrenty

I was on Edmunds.com today and noticed that there was a 2008 Tuscani/Tiburon model listed under sport sedans. This is in addition to the Eqqus. It also said a coupe would follow. (REAR WHEEL DRIVE) OH YEAH!!! Has anyone heard anything else of this?

Hey everyone.
Just Saw demo video at Hyundai of the 07 Tibby, the new specs etc. They are fine tuning , but 08 Will be Same Body style but RWD!!! I have no clue why the 07 Couldnt be RWD. But im waiting til next year when the 08 production line comes out to get my hands on a RWD Tibby. I just went to the dealership and was talking over with a sale rep on the 07-08 Tiburon. If i can get my hands on an Article in writing or find it published somewhere that is a crediable source you all will be the first to know. Just what Hyundai told me and im passing it on.

{World scoop: Hyundai confirms its next-gen Tiburon coupe will be rear-wheel drive!.

By BYRON MATHIOUDAKIS 29 April 2005


"FUTURE Driven" Hyundai will abandoning front-wheel drive for its next Tiburon.

Due to be unveiled towards the end of 2007 before a local debut the following year, the rear-wheel drive coupe will be a "serious sports car", according to a senior Hyundai Motor Company executive.

Although details are scant, it is believed the Tiburon replacement will be a three-door coupe featuring many of the styling cues as well as the general proportions displayed on the HCD-8 Concept Car, which made its global debut at the 2004 Detroit motor show and has since appeared in Melbourne.
..... (This is the yellow car featured in the banner of this Forum)......Nick.

The HCD-8, as it stands, is powered by an aftermarket-supercharged version of a current 2.7-litre Delta DOHC V6 with a six-speed manual gearbox.

However, variations of Hyundai's new-generation 3.3 and 3.8-litre V6 engines are expected to debut in the 2+2 seater sports car, with the latter one likely to be the range-topper.

"Yes, we are developing rear-wheel drive for the next sports car," was the surprising response from Hyun Soon Lee, Executive Senior Vice President for Hyundai Motor Corporation.

This remark came after a suggestion from the gathered press at the opening of the 2005 Seoul motor show in South Korea that the company seek the passionate sports car route to increase its global youth appeal, rather than simply focus on quality.

Mr Lee's remark even caught out other Hyundai executives.

It is a surprising development for a model that started out as the very unsporty two-door derivation of the front-wheel drive Hyundai X2 Excel of 1990 called the S-Coupe.

That car's predecessor jumped up to the 1995 J2 Lantra platform to become the SX, FX and SFX Coupe until the current, sharper - but still front-wheel drive - Tiburon came into the fray in 2002.

A rear-wheel drive sports car is in line with Hyundai's desire to push its vehicles further upmarket.

Such a model willl probably share many components with a rear-wheel drive sedan in much the same way that Nissan's 350Z has spawned a range of mostly-US market Infinity products such as the G35.

There has been speculation for some time that Hyundai was considering releasing a luxury line of vehicles above the current, Sonata-derived Grandeur - which has just had a complete makeover and is the star of Hyundai's stand at Seoul.

Adding further credence to Hyundai's sports image push is its re-entry into the World Rally Championship from 2008.

The company says it will field an all-wheel drive "sports car" very loosely derived from the yet-to-be released Accent replacement, the front-wheel drive MC4 small car.}


It looks as if the V6 Delta will be the shortest-lived engine in the Company`s history, as it is being supplanted by the new, advanced, V6 Lambda in all new models!.
