Looks a bit extreme for a Hyundai…



Indeed, but then this is a concept car. Behind the carbonfibre bonnet, tarmac-scraping spoilers and 20-inch wheels is Hyundai’s next Coupe. And it's a bit of a looker.

The concept signals the switch to rear-wheel drive for the Coupe, known as Tiburon in the States. It’s just been unveiled at the LA Auto Show and will go on sale in the US in the spring of 2009, though the car has already been scooped undisguised in customer clinics, and we’ve spied it with our own cameras in production-ready form.

The good news is this latest, rear-drive iteration of the Coupe is also coming to the UK. So it could be adding sharper dynamics to the Coupe's recipe of Italianate looks and bargain prices. Previous
