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.

2015 Hyundai Sonata confirmed for New York debut
Fri, 15 Nov 2013Despite receiving a host of improvements for the 2014 model year, the next-generation Hyundai Sonata is right around the corner. During a technical briefing today, Hyundai's North American CEO, John Krafcik, has confirmed to Autoblog that the 2015 Sonata will debut at the 2014 New York Auto Show in April.
The Sonata will be one of Hyundai's three major launches coming in the first half of 2014. First will be the 2015 Genesis sedan, which will bow at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, and also coming in 2014 is a new fuel-cell vehicle from Hyundai.
Despite the current Sonata's age relative to key rivals, it's still doing rather well for Hyundai. Krafcik told us that the sedan currently has a 42-day dealer supply, which is lower than its fresher competitors. The nipped/tucked 2014 Sonata should help keep that momentum going until this all-new 2015 model arrives next year.
Hyundai Motorsport tests its performance at the WRC Rally Finland
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Autoblog joined Hyundai to check out the Neste Oil Rally Finland, where thousands of kilometers of lightly traveled, rolling gravel roads have turned out decades of astonishing racing and cold-blooded drivers. Even though the World Rally Championship is well tamed from its feral Group B days, Rally Finland is still the drivers' favorite, with the fastest speeds and the biggest jumps.
It's the rookie year for the Hyundai Shell World Rally Team, run by Hyundai Motorsport out of Alzenau, Germany. The squad entered the season aiming for podiums in the second half and looking to get its three cars to the finish at every race for maximum development data. It's already outdone itself, Thierry Neuville scoring third places in Mexico - where he used a bottle of Corona to fill his radiator - and Poland.
Denis Giraudet told us that the rally's sternest challenge is not one of heart, though. Giraudet isn't part of Hyundai Motorsport, he was our guide and he's been in the sport as a co-driver for more than 30 years; he won Rally Finland with Juha Kankunnen in 1993 in a Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD. Giraudet said the race tests that particular confidence that comes from about 18 inches below the heart: "Here, you have to go all out. If there's a problem, it's usually between the steering wheel and the seat."
2015 Hyundai Sonata plays a more mature tune
Wed, 16 Apr 2014Hyundai's new North American CEO Dave Zuckowski pulled a silky sheet off of the redesigned 2015 Sonata here at the New York Auto Show, ushering in not only a new era of domestic stewardship for the company, but also a new, more mature design direction for its mass-market vehicles.
Though we've already seen the striking sedan in a wealth of recent photos, seeing the car in person confirmed that Hyundai has another hit on its hands. The Sonata employs the Korean automaker's new "Fluidic Sculpture 2.0" design language, which we already witnessed in the new, much lower-volume Genesis. Hyundai describes the language as being more dignified, respectable and confident. We certainly agree with that.
Gone are the swooping lines of old, which grabbed our attention on the previous generation. They've been replaced by straight edges and harder angles, most noticeably along the car's beltline. A larger, more refined grille with a wide air intake leads the car down the road. The stance is athletic, with a steeper, coupe-like roofline, quad chrome-tipped exhaust ports and horizontal lines in the rear, which give the car a planted look. The redesigned headlights are wing-like in appearance and, man, that burnt orange color is sexy.
