Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon 2.0i 138 (1999)

The Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon 2.0i 138 (1999) reaches 60 mph in 9.83 s (100 km/h in 10.33 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 17.67 s, tripping the lights at 84.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 3.13 s and the eighth mile in 11.80 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Coupe / Tiburon 2.0i 138

The 1999 Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon 2.0i 138 (1999) is a front-drive naturally aspirated coupe of 1,180 kg with 137 bhp, which works out at 116 bhp per tonne. Front drive caps what it can put down off the line — 60 ft takes 3.13 s — so most of what it has to give arrives once it is already moving. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 9,825th quickest to 60 mph, and the 127th quickest of the 295 Hyundais here. It traps higher than its 0-60 suggests — 84.3 mph, the 7,630th highest here — so it is a car that keeps going rather than one that simply leaves well. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

The Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon 2.0i 138 (1999) reaches 60 mph in 9.83 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 9,825th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon 2.0i 138 (1999) quarter mile time?
17.67 s at 84.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 11.80 s and clears the first 60 ft in 3.13 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon 2.0i 138 (1999) have?
137 bhp and 1,180 kg, which is 116 bhp per tonne. It is front-drive, naturally aspirated, with 4 gears and a quoted top speed of 198 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon 2.0i 138 (1999)?
Closest here on pace: Isuzu 117 Coupe 1.6 120 (9.94 s), Fiat 124 Sport Coupe CC 1.6 104 (9.71 s), Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon 2.0i 137 (9.83 s). Each one can be raced against the Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon 2.0i 138 (1999) in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Hyundai Coupe / Tiburon 2.0i 138 (1999) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
