Adrenaline junkies need look no further
The 2008 Tiburon quickly dispels the myth that it's not possible to create an affordable sports car that also delivers on style and performance.
At first glance you'll admire the sleek, powerful exterior with its wide, aggressive stance that radiates poise and confidence.
Look a little closer to find unique styling details such as shark fins, dual chrome exhaust and a racing-inspired fuel door.
And under the hood you'll see an impressive 2.7 litre, 24-valve DOHC V6 engine with 172 horsepower.
In fact, the very shape of the Tiburon was created with aerodynamic efficiency in mind, helping it glide effortlessly to any destination.
