Does Tuscani comes in manual?

[S2077s]

2.0L Auto is 10.5 secs on specs. the Manual one is 8.7 (or something like dat) on specs. Though i have not verifed the timings with a stop watch, i know for sure the manual picks up way faster and more purposefully den the heavy auto. Cos i drive an auto Tus daily and have driven the manual 2.0l one overseas.

can be a alternative to the more ex Dc5 type-S

actually how can a 2.7L tuscani be better than a 4.3L lexus in terms of handling and responsiveness...i mean on paper, the 4.3L has a 0-100 of 5.8s! bhp of 282! and a very high torque of 419nm...the displacement is already a very big difference for comparison. i think the 2.7L is nowhere close in performance.

[YellowFlash]

wow, if its 8.7 for the manual, its can be comparable to the integra GSR.

[Demonite]

having more power in a car does not equate to better handling, neither does havin more power means your engine is more responsive.

Its hard to imagine the Tus 2.7l can be rated higher den then Lexus. But its a Top Gear rating and they are pretty critical when it comes to cars. Or maybe it was done based on performance per pounds spent on acquiring the car. Surely this way the Tuscani would come close when u have to pay so so much more for a Lexus.

 

Another thing about the Tus is dat it is tuned to be a little sportier den normal cars. If u drove a Hyundai Sonata or Tuscon with similar engines, u realise the Tuscani revs more willingly and ride is more pliant and confidence inspiring. Therefore, i can only imagine that perhaps the Lexus is way too geared towards comfort and thus veered off the performance sector so as to give the 2.7l Tus an edge in any form of comparison.

 

In any case, i think Hyundai should jus come up with at least a light pressure TC or SC version for the 2.0l Tus. It should complement their range all so nicely and up the car's desirability factor.Dun you think?

[YellowFlash]

but how can a car of 0-100 in 5.8s not be responsive? while a car of 0-100 in 8s be more responsive?

[YellowFlash]

there is a supercharger kit for tuscani out for quite a while already and its LTA approved i think.

I thought they once commented that it is the world slowest coupe.

hmz 2litre auto at 10.5sec is even slower than suzuki ignis, hyundai getz and toyota vios which is around 1.5 to 1.6l. no wonder rated one of the slowest and underpower coupe.

Oh really? Time to change car liao.

[Reliable]

yup. the looks is definitely good the price is good too. just that engine is underpower. if not will be a good car to drive ard. not sure about the FC.

[YellowFlash]

haha, yepp theres already a hyundai coupe fitted with it...0-100 in 6.5sec...quite alot of stuff fitted in it.

[YellowFlash]

we shd juz consult some tuscani owners...anyway some paper stats are not accurate until u compare the car side by side..

[Demonite]

for examply an eg6 engine is 1.6 and a tuscani has a 2.0 engine ... does it mean its more responsive?

[YellowFlash]

eg6 1.6l engine produces 170bhp, tuscani 2.0l produces 140bhp... so more bhp = more responsiveness if thats wat ure trying to say then the 4.3L lexus has much higher bhp than 2.7L tuscani, not to mention its huge amount of torque.

[Demonite]

hp is not the only factor. you must see what the engine has been tuned for comfort or performance. responsiveness can refer to whether the engine likes to be reved or where the rev cut is ... many factors to how top gear rated a 4.3 over the 2.7. go bittorrent download then you will understand why.
