SOLVED: WTH # 055 - 2003 Hyundai CCS hardtop convertible
« on: July 06, 2012, 12:09:04 PM »
For one point, what car is this retractable hardtop based on?  (Year, make, and model)

For a second point, name the builder of the top mechanism, and provide the complete name this car carried when displayed.

This should be an easy one.

Frederick59, I don't know of a company named WV.  If you meant VW, it is not a Volkswagen.

The car is a Hyundai.  Coupe may be part of the name.

This is a Hyundai Tiburon CCS ( Coupe Cabriolet Study ), a conceptcar presented in 2004 and build by Hyundai's Frankfurt-based Research and Development Centre and renowned convertible specialists Karmann.

PS. The coupé-version was called simply 'Hyundai Coupé' in Europe ...

A point to Delorean for the correct answer.  It was unveiled in 2003 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.

I thought this puzzle would be easier.  But I am biased, as I have a Tiburon in my garage.
