Hyundai redesigned its popular Tiburon coupe for the 2007 model year and onward. Known as the Hyundai Coupe in Asian and European markets, the new car adds more aggressive surface styling, while maintaining the proportions that made the first Tiburon a success.

The engine lineup starts with Hyundai's advanced DOHC 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine rated at 138 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 136 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm. Standard equipment on the Tiburon GS, this engine technology includes four valves per cylinder with Continuously Variable Valve Timing (CVVT), which improves both horsepower at high rpm and torque at low rpm, while also reducing NOx emissions.

Matching transmissions include a five-speed manual and an available four-speed automatic with Hyundai's Shiftronic manual mode. Fuel economy is 20 mpg city/28 mpg highway with manual transmission and 20 mpg city/27 mpg highway with the automatic.

Standard on the 2008 Tiburon GT, SE and GT Limited is a powerful all-aluminum 2.7-liter V6. This DOHC, 24-valve engine is rated at 172 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 181 lbs.-ft. of torque at a relatively low 3,800 rpm.

A standard five-speed manual transmission takes full advantage of the V6's additional power, while a six-speed ZF manual underpins the Tiburon SE. A four-speed automatic with SHIFTRONIC is available on the GT and GT Limited. Fuel economy estimates for 2008 are 17 mpg city/24 mpg highway for both the Tiburon GT and GT Limited, regardless of transmission. The new SE yields 16 mpg city/24 mpg highway.
