Spy shot of the new RWD V8 Tiburon

Codenamed BK, but often referred to as the "Hyundai Mustang" by Hyundai insiders, the rear-wheel-drive coupe shown here will eventually replace the front-wheel-drive Tiburon.
We're not sure if Hyundai will carry over the Tiburon name, but we do know that this car will first arrive in Asia in late 2008 or 2009, and arrive here in the States for the 2010 model year. A convertible version will follow.
Based on the BH/Genesis platform, the new coupe is expected to offer an optional 4.6-liter V-8 as a performance option.

Hmm, saw pctures of this one on another forum. Except it looked like in the pictures with the hood popped it had a turbo 4.

The black one appears to have a Turbo 4, the silver a V8. I don't know if they are testing different options, or if it will be available with both.

Yep, those are the other shots I saw. I think either would be good, although the v8 would be my preference. Hell, even if they make it only with the turbo 4 it would only be a matter of time before someone shoved a LS1 in it.

It sort of looks like a cross between a G35 & GTO.
