This 1997 Hyundai Tiburon for sale is a one-of-a-kind head turner! I hate to see it go, but I'm moving and could use the extra cash. This car was purchased from down south and has *never* been in the snow. I got it last year and kept it in the garage over the winter. Here's some of the many highlights (But I'm sure I'm forgetting some):
- Only 67,000 miles!
- Custom chameleon paint job
- Body Kit
- Custom rims (All 4 of them are the 5 point design now, a couple older pics show different rear wheels)
- Eibach lowering springs
- Painted calipers
- NOS tanks and setup including switches on the center console (Not hooked up at the moment, can't sell it with it enabled)
- TV screen in the steering wheel (With chameleon paint on the middle of the steering wheel. TV also not hooked up for the same reason)
- Playstation 2 video game system hooked up in the back
- Polk audio speakers replacing the factory speakers
- Custom trunk setup with 2 15" Kickers & Amp
- Bolted-on roll cage
- Gauges on the drivers side
- Small fire extinguisher on the passenger side
- Custom leather seats
- Short throw shift
- Stage 2 clutch
- Cold air intake
- Full exhaust system (Purrs like a kitten)
- A button to make the rear lights actually come out from the car about 12". Very unique & cool!
- Custom painted chameleon dash
- Kenwood cd player that also changes colors
Like I said, there's probably a few things I'm forgetting as well. The previous owner said this did the 1/8th mile in 8.6 seconds, so it's quite snappy! I had this delivered to me from down south and it handled the trip up just fine. You certainly won't have any problems figuring out which car is yours in the parking lot!
As for "problems", there isn't too much. The handle for the glove box is loose, but this could probably be fixed pretty easily. Also, the subs don't seem to be all that loud. Might just need the gain turned up or some wire needs to be tightened. Again, my guess is it's a fairly easy fix. The cd player is a bit of a tight fit so it require a little tug to open it, but it still works just fine.
Also, it doesn't have power steering. This isn't a "problem" and is actually intentional. Many people have removed power steering for low tuner cars like this because it gives you more responsiveness and helps a bit with cornering. Once the car is over 10mph or so, you can barely tell (As in, it's plenty easy to turn the wheel), but it's still more responsive.
Asking $6,500, but I'm open to offers. Please make them reasonable, this is a unique car with very low miles on it.

IED Torino students dream up the PassoCorto for Hyundai
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Every year the students at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Turin work up something new to unveil at the Geneva Motor Show. It's usually a concept for an Italian automaker (like the Alfa Romeo Gloria, the Cisitalia 202 E or the Abarth ScorpION) or at least something European (like the concepts they worked up with McLaren or the ones they did for Aston Martin). But this time they've wandered a little farther from home in designing a sports car for Hyundai.
It's called the PassoCorto - Italian for "short wheelbase" - and it was designed in collaboration between the grad students in the Master in Transportation Design program (under the supervision of Pininfarina design Luca Borgogno) and the Hyundai's European design center.
The design (theoretically) calls for a 1.6-liter twin-turbo four, mounted amidships and driving 266 horsepower to the rear wheels. It looks pretty promising, and if Hyundai were ever keen on taking on the likes of the Alfa Romeo 4C and Porsche Cayman, this strikes us as a damn good place to start.
Hyundai deferring car payments for furloughed federal workers
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Since the US government shut down early this morning, more than 800,000 federal employees could be furloughed without pay until a deal is reached to start the government back up. To help affected employees cope with the temporary layoffs, Hyundai is expanding its Assurance program to defer all of their auto loan or lease payments until they're called back to work.
"We recognize the impact on family budgets that the furlough will drive," says John Krafcik, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor America. The automaker also says it will allow furloughed employees to buy new cars during October with help from a 90-day payment deferral.
We're sure Hyundai's act of goodwill relieves some of the stress that furloughed Hyundai owners and their families are experiencing. Check out the press release below.
Hyundai testing more variants of top-secret commercial van
Tue, 15 Apr 2014The commercial van market in the US is exploding with new products at the moment, with entries from Ford, Ram, Nissan and others. And we are seeing images (again) of Hyundai testing its own van in Europe, as well, though it's not known whether the model will make it to the US. While the company has offered work vehicles overseas in the past, this one appears to be a direct competitor to European vehicles with large bodies and tiny wheels like the Ford Transit and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
The latest images show off not just the standard commercial van but also the pickup version, and interior for the first time. According to our spy shooters, Hyundai did not want people to see the inside of the test vehicle, reaching out specifically in an attempt to secure the pictures you see here. It's hard to say what's worth being so secretive about, but that big infotainment screen certainly looks like a nice addition. We still aren't sure whether the Korean company has opted for front- or rear-wheel drive for the model, but the gearshift suggests that it's using a six-speed manual transmission.
The pickup truck version has a cab that looks just like the standard van. Testing this variant suggests that Hyundai is addressing the need for multiple body configurations in the commercial space.
