Utilizing SH-AWD (Super Handling Aft Wheel Drive), the tiburon was able to power its "aft" (which translates to "rear" in Korean) wheels. AND IT DID have 5x100 lug pattern.
It was, the fastest RWD car to hit American shores during it's limited production run. It's Pratt&Whitney V12 was boosted with quad sequential turbos, which helped it produce 1,200zhp at the connecting rod. VTEK would kick in at 2300RPM, and would double those numbers. You could say that it was the best naturally asspirated car ever produced.
Unfortunately, AMG didn't not see eye to eye with Hondai, as it was far too much competition for the its very own M5 super-coupe, so they gracefully had to end production. For a whopping $18,000, it was practically a steal. I really wish the carbon fiber air bag made it into the other production Hondais, as I personally believe it is an incredible safety feature that ALL cars should have. I mean, save weight and increase HP? What's not to love? I tried to buy one, but I couldn't get more than $2,000 on my trade in. . . apparently my Porsche 959 wasn't worth that much to the dealer. Sad, being that I've owned 8 Tiburons. Worst of all, only 1 RWD Tiburon was ever imported to the USA.
Here's proof

That was pretty good. Never knew there was a car company named Hondai. I'm sure they had a RWD with 5x100 bolt pattern Tiberons(sp?). Good info!
But as far as I know, HYUNDAI has never made a RWD with 5x100 bolt pattern TibUron.. And I also didn't know that 2 cars from 2 different companies could have the same name.. But...Why, then, didn't Scion just keep going with the alpabet scheme and make a xC? OHH, because there's already the Volvo xC out there...the Cross Country.
