Two models: i4 turbo 215 hp, and 3.8L V6 around 300HP
They also have a Brembo Brake option.

Glad to see hyundai really kicking it into high gear now. This and the new genesis car should be pretty dope.
it would be weird to have the v6 and the I4 turbo both in the states....

Just because the engine is in the car "north-south" doesnt mean it will be RWD, there are plenty of cars out there that are FWD that the motors oriented in the engine bay like that. Look for proof of a rear diff or something.
But i would respect Hyundai if they made a RWD car.

aside from the pictures, i'm pretty sure hyundai confirmed that it will be rwd at a recent auto show.

i think i'm getting a Hyundai
Interesting, but the price will be the final judge. I doubt many buyers will shell out 350Z money for a comparable Hyundai. Take the current V6 Eclipse for example. If Hyundai can crank out that V6 model at a lower price than a 350Z or RX-8, it could catch the eye of quite a few people. I'll keep my eye on this car for sure. :yes:

from what i've heard, the i4 turbo is starting around 19k, and the v6 is starting at around 25k.
from what i've heard, the i4 turbo is starting around 19k, and the v6 is starting at around 25k.That's actually not bad considering the power per dollar. Again, it'd be best if the V6 could come down a penny or two. It's going to be tough to keep people from spending the same money on an RX-8 or 350Z. Those two cars seem like they're going to be the Hyundai's biggest competition.
i want one. its been a long time coming for the tibby. they already look good now the will have the ass to back it up and the rwd fun to boot. if i had money i would buy

I love the Tibby looks but FWD FTL! There is a pretty quick tibby running around augusta with 550+ fwhp. That thing is quick but RWD would have been insane.

They put this into production and they will have earned mine, lets hope the V6 is boostable, that'd be my choice unless the i4 is comprable to 1.8t or evo/sti motors.

the Korean version has been AWD and 300hp for some time now. Also, the V6 is boostable. balanced built the augusta one with a GT35R.

Every time the big V6 swap topic comes up on newtiburon.com, the weight issue is usally the first problem to be pointed out. Unless Hyundai can find a way to drop some weight off the already chunky tiburon, I think the turbo I4 will definitely be the better route.

Hyundai's supposed to be announcing it in 2008, production in 2009. Everything right now is pretty much speculation though..

similar to kdm guy.. ive been told the i4 turbo in the states will start at 19 but the v6 not being 25 it would be around 22. again these are starting. im sure by the time you throw in every option it should be close to 25 or 26.

06-19-2007, 01:49 PM
still not bad.since RX-8 and 350Z can get into the 30ks
and god knows what the supra will cost,im gonna guess 65-70k

OMG! I am going to buy it for sure if it has the 4b11t like someone stated in another forum... FOLKS thats the new EVO motor (surely the head and turbo will be much de-tuned) My second wish is the drivetrain to be strong because you know were going to mod the crap out of this car when it comes to the states!

^Yeaaa...especially because of that little slit of a grille.
they definatelly screwed up the lines of the car with the newest version...I had an 03 Tib with an 05 front end conversion...it was a great looking car but lacked in the performance category...I traded it in 9 months ago for my skittle...if the car actually makes it to the States with the new engine pictured I might be tempted to get another one...seeing is believing...

it will be good to see if Hyundai does it. The Tiburon looks good (03-06 model yrs) but lacked so much performance. I just know when they first released the Tib their numbers were a little high on HP, lets hope they dont have to correct and send people money back this time around

someone may have already posted this, don't they already have a turbo version in the states? I had a customer come into my store who had a brand new tib that came turboed stock, at least thats what he said. I didn't research it though...
looks good, i want to see some more exterior shots. the wheels look like they are off the eclipse

lol that's a big negative. so far, tibs in the states (and in Korea for that matter) have only come with I4 and V6 NON-turbo powerplants.
