Hyundai Unveils facelifted Coupe / Tiburon

Well what have we here ? Oh my God, the facelifted Tiburon �aka� Coupe in Europe ! Nothing much to say as the Korean coupe has only subtle changes in it�s front and rear end. By the way, leaving aside the fact that the car�s design remains awfully blunt, doesn�t the front end remind you of Ford�s �famous� Cougar Coupe�? Hey, maybe they wanted to differ the Tiburon�s �aka� Coupe design from its new English stable mate, the �.XK

Press Release: Hyundai Motor Co. today unveiled it�s updated Tiburon Coupe at the Guangzhou Motor Show. Featuring a subtle redesign of the front and rear with an emphasis on new optical elements, the new Tiburon retains all the magic of the original design which has won a growing number of admirers since its first introduction in Sept. 2001. With its contemporary styling and sporty appeal, the new Tiburon radiates pure excitement among the young and the young-at-heart.

In standard trim, the Tiburon is powered by a 2L 16-valve DOHC with Continuously Variable Valve Timing coupled to 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission with Hyundai�s Shiftronic semi-automatic gear selector. For the performance minded driver, a 2.7L V6 is available as an option along with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
