"The Hyundai Tiburon (Coup? is about to see the most radical change in its entire lifespan of three generations. Inarguably, this is perhaps the best of all Hyundais, but it's about to get sweeter with the addition of an electric hardtop roof. We'd expected the marque to make a convertible from its HDC concepts, but when and from what, we didn't know. The roof comes along with an update directed at the car's headlights, interior and engine - a direct-injection gasoline powerplant will be added to the range.
Heralded as the Korean Ferrari 456 GT, the rather pretty Hyundai's roof comes from Germany, as opposed to somewhere in the South Seas. Karmann, the creator of the SLK's folding hardtop roof has been selected to create the unit on the new Tiburon. The Tiburon's system is composed of a center-hinged roof, plus a rather tricky looking arm to lift the hard tonneau cover. To accommodate the roof, the interior is now limited to two seats, but on the plus side, it receives a massive trunk. The windshield's frame, bulkheads and sills have all been beefed up to provide rigidity and strength in the event of a colission. Expect the car to be in showrooms around mid 2004, though there may be a few minor discrepancies between this show car, and the real deal."
