FactPininfarina helped style this Tiburon, and Hyundai sold it at home under a different name entirely, the Tuscani.
The second Tiburon (GK), sold as the Tuscani in South Korea and the Coupe in Europe, was designed with Pininfarina and launched for the 2003 model year with new styling, larger dimensions and an optional V6. It was built in Ulsan, Turkey and Thailand from 2001 to 2008 and shared its underpinnings with the XD Elantra. Engines were a 1.6 and 2.0-litre four and a 2.7-litre Delta V6, with five- or six-speed manuals and a four-speed automatic.

The Tiburon's name means "shark" in Spanish, chosen by Hyundai to match the car's aggressive, predatory styling theme.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
