The Hyundai Tiburon (Korean:현대 티뷰론), known as the Hyundai Coupe (Europe) and Hyundai Tuscani (South Korea) in other markets, was Hot Wheels' second Hyundai and second Korean casting, alongside the Hyundai Spyder Concept, both launched in 2002. The Hot Wheels casting portrays the GK, a second generation model of Tiburon. The name 'Tiburon' was derived from the Spanish word for shark 'tiburón' , a name to convey aggressive performance benefits. This car helped give rise to the Hyundai Genesis Coupe which was launched in 2009 for the 2010 model year, with the Tiburon being discontinued in 2008.
