That said, your 2008

  • 5-speed or 6-speed manual transmission: 137 mph
  • 4-speed automatic transmission: 135 mph
Since you’re learning a little more about your trusty 2008 Tiburon, here are some other specs that might be of interest to you.
  • 0 to 60 mph acceleration time is 8.2 seconds (manual) or 8.5 seconds (automatic)
  • There is 172-hp inside that 2.7 L Delta V6 engine
  • The GT has 181 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm
