Hyundai made its inaugural appearance at the SEMA Show last year and is returning this year with even more radically customized vehicles, including two modified versions of the allnew 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6. "The feedback we received last year from aftermarket suppliers and customers about our vehicles was outstanding, and we are back at SEMA with even more radically customized vehicles this year," said David Ossenmacher, director of product planning at Hyundai. "There is a natural fit with Hyundai and tuners/consumers looking to do something special to their vehicle. Our distinctive and appealing designs, and superior value proposition allow a creative mind to develop a unique vehicle for about the same money as the price of one of our competitors unmodified vehicles,” he added. “A good example is our hot, allnew Tiburon, with available aluminum V6 DOHC engine with dual exhaust, sixspeed manual transmission, 17" wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tires, sport tuned suspension and highoutput Infinity sevenspeaker premium audio system with subwoofer.
