About the Hyundai Coupe GK
The SIII was the second major facelift for the second-generation Hyundai Coupe, known as the Tiburon in North America. It introduced a more aggressive front fascia with elongated headlights and a cleaner rear-end design compared to the earlier 'facelift 1' models. While it lacked the outright pace of its European rivals, the SIII was praised for its balanced handling, generous equipment levels, and a cabin that felt significantly more premium than its predecessors. It remains a popular entry-level modern classic due to its reliability and distinctive silhouette.

Hyundai Coupe GK fun facts
- The SIII designation was specific to the UK market; in other regions, it was simply known as the 2007 facelift or the TSIII for special editions.
- The interior featured blue instrumentation lighting, a departure from the red lighting used in the previous GK models.
- Despite its sporty appearance, the 2.0-litre Beta II engine was chosen for its durability and ease of maintenance rather than high-performance output.
