I’ve had a 2008 Hyundai Tiburon for a while now and I’ve recently become interested in learning about its specs. It seems like this car can handle some high speeds—what’s a Hyundai Tiburon GT’s top speed?
’s top speed will depend on what transmission type it has. Here’s what those specs look like:
5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission: 137 mph
4-speed automatic transmission: 135 mph
Since you’re learning a little more about your trusty 2008 Tiburon, here are some other specs that might be of interest to you.
0 to 60 mph acceleration time is 8.2 seconds (manual) or 8.5 seconds (automatic)
There is 172-hp inside that 2.7 L Delta V6 engine
The GT has 181 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm
For an older car, the Hyundai Tiburon certainly holds up well. Even so, it’s always a good idea to keep your Tiburon well-protected with quality car insurance—
