Not bad, but V8 with 300 hp? I'll take a V6 with over 300 thanks

 

it said "well over 300", and i'm sure it will produce a lot more torque than any V6 could

 

Yeah, I suppose we can't relly judge until it actually comes out

Looks ok though....sort of masarati 'ish

 

I think it's an awesome move on Hyundai's part.
Its exactly what they needed in their lineup.

It'll definitely be priced well below its competitors (G37, 335) and should be a good way to enter the market.

 

well said man. I have had my eye on what hyundai was gonna do with the tiburon and now this. I dont know what they will call it, but it's a great move. Whats next for Hyundai, a sport division? Hugen? Hismo? HMG? an H series?
j/k. If they really make this sporty enough, that would be awesome. The tiburon has a real lifeless transmission and motor to match. Clutch is very soft and mushy. Its great to see them enter this market though! I hope the car surprises me.

 

I think depending on the level of success of this car, they might launch a sport division.

I had a 2004 tiburon
Granted, it wasn't the best sports coupe but it wasnt expensive either.

 

Very smart of them to make something like this. There is such a big market.

 

does the rear 1/4 panel look just like the g coupe to anybody else other than me? I'm sure the hyundai loyals are going to be all over it. Just not my cup of tea.

hyundai has been movin up the last few years. the v8 will have more torque than a v6. so hp numbers are only relative.

 

It would be nice if the final version turned out more like the rendering. I know its not the practical thing to have a coupe as a second car, but I could care less heh. I'd hit it.

 

yeah man. i was very happy with my Tiburon. It was my college car

I still like the Tib's design ... if only it was RWD

 

Given their expressed desire to enter F1, a sport division would make sense:

"Hyundai are planning to enter Formula One in 2010, for the inaugural South Korean Grand Prix."

It looks interesting, but I doubt I would get it

 

never a fan of hyundai
and still not...........
