RWD HYUNDAI?!?!

[eastcoastdrifter]

Posted from a another site:

Well we're not sure if it's going to carry the name ‘Tiburon', but Hyundai is working on a RWD coupe that it hopes will compete with other upper class coupes like the BMW 3-Series and Infiniti's G37. It is expected to carry Hyundai's new Tau V8 engine which is capable of producing 300 horsepower, so it might just give BMW and Infiniti a run for the money.

Hyundai has recently been very serious about targeting the luxury car market in the United States. The company has already confirmed a luxury sedan that will debut in 2008, and had a very successful launch of the Hyundai Genesis Concept at the 2007 New York Auto Show.

We just have one question concerning these images. Couldn't Hyundai find more open space to test a 300 horsepower rear-wheel-drive coupe.

if it comes with a ridiculously low price tag, that might be just the thing to convince me to give hyundai a fair go.

The engine is pretty much a sr20, Hyundai bought the specs from Nissan so atleast there is something decent in the car :P
I think there aim is to sell it for less than 20g aswell.

[riojin]

a hyundai is a hyundai. cheap pieces of unreliable shit

[GAKI86]

QUALITY??

yet we still prefer our sprinters and other corollas n shit!!! you call that quality?

as long as its cheap and its rwd you can do sik skids bro!!

Hyundais unreliable?

My mate had an excel as a company car , and he gave it hell.
Used the revlimiter a shift light every time he took off
did a few jumps in it. He went for a thrash around a big padock , donig ringines on rev limited
for 5 minutes straight , and it finally showed engine troubles (rooted the rings.)
and some more very stupid things ..

I don't think a 4age could do that .

dude simon michaelmores smallport is all im going to say

[Dave]

what about simon ? i see him daily lol. he works at chevalier auto mt barker

[Bustin_86]

Its a trick.... they have just put a false cover on the top to simulate "Rwd sportiness"... hahaha

I remember reading about some model of Tiburon in Motor, and they said that they (hyundai) had designed a cam cover that made the engine look like it was n/s layout, rather than e/w... i laughed at that.

[dr1ft-pig]

who does that.... thats how we all know hyundai is gay

[Bustin_86]

Yeah fairly wakk stuff.

Ah well, its all marketing ploys i suppose :lol:

[driftism]

by the look of it, It has coil on plug ignition that should be stolen and put on a 4age... :)
