new V8 powered RWD tiburon spied...

FWIW, the lead designer of the Chrysler Crossfire is a now a lead designer at Hyundai. He graduated a few years ahead of me from college and is originally from Rochester. Very talented dude, and from the looks of this carI wouldn’t be suprised if he had a hand in this.

wow, i like it :tup: that’d be a smart move!

still not a fan
looks like the G6
POWA :tup:
looks and what the car is :tdown:

That would be pretty siqqq if it came with the V8+RWD combo…

Looks nice, V8…ok :tup:

I might have to drive one.

meh, a bit too much lexus in that one shot.

Not bad looking tho.

T-I4 sounuds great if it isnt too heavy.

no v6, i4 turbo for base models and v8 for gt and it probably wont be called the tiburon, will take over the foreign market name of the Hyundai Coupe

when will they be avaliable?

ford should buy one for each showroom and park it next to the mustang…

makes the style of the style of the mustang look 100% better then usual.

not of huge fan of the front end or the belt line, but other than that… huge :tup: from me

thats pretty cool :tup: talk about an elite job, would LOVE to do it for a living

According to the info given, the Coupe would have two engine options, a 2.0L turbo with 215HP and 217 ft-lbs of torque, or a 3.8LV6 with 300HP and 280 ft-lbs. Prices were given as $19,900 for the 4 or $25,900 for the V6. While we have good reason to believe there will be a genuine V8 in the engine bay when we see the car in LA next week, this event was held back in June and changes could have been made since that time. Hyundai even admits to targeting the Mustang.

Hyundai is pitching this new Genesis Coupe as a Mustang fighter, so it’s no surprise to see the Coupe sitting next to the Ford in these photos. We’ve discussed this 2009 model Hyundai quite a bit and now that we have some clear pics, it really looks like it’s been worth the wait. Attractive in an Accord or G37 Coupe kind of way, the RWD Korean should make a splash in the sports/GT market when it reaches dealers next year. The looks and specs seem to indicate a worthy competitor, with rumored features like iPod integration in the center console, Bluetooth with the stock head deck, a sunroof, limited slip and possibly even a Brembo brake upgrade. We’ll have more details about the car after we see it at the LA Auto Show

I agree. Makes the Mustang look like a big lump of crap

Thats going to be awsome.

wow that is really sharp.

the v8 would be the way to go because honestly that would be similar to putting a 4-turbo into a g35, rear wheel drive is a huge +

sad ripoff of a g35/g37, styling wise (look at the lights).

I like it :gotme:
