Very cheap sports cars aren't exactly thick on the ground. Thank goodness for half-forgotten Hyundais.
Shed has gone on his holidays this week. He always stays in the same converted stable that he picked up for a song a few years back. He thought it would make him a small fortune in rental income, but two things spoiled it: Covid, and the fact that nobody knows where Silesia is.
What he's come up with is a late phase 1 example of the gen-two Hyundai Coupe which ran from 2002 to 2007 or thereabouts. Two versions of the Coupe were sold in the UK, a 2.0-litre four and this, the somewhat rarer 2.7-litre V6. Being honest, the Hyundai Coupe wasn't the most satisfying car of its type to drive, or the roomiest but what it did have going for it was its styling. In most of the big markets outside Europe they called it the Tiburon, which is Spanish for shark.
The Hyundai V6 engine is kind of like the one in the 2.5-litre V6 Mondeo. Press the throttle and you'll get more noise but not much more performance. A basic chip tune-up on the V6 would liberate an extra 15-20hp and around 20lb ft, but the absence of a turbo made it hard to get big, cheap improvements. The under-stressed nature of the engine should have meant decent longevity although in reality the V6 did acquire a bit of a reputation for bottom end trouble.
