This is an honest to goodness short film by Hyundai where a special team of preproduction 1996 Tiburons are unleashed to takedown Porsches stolen from a moving big rig. I promise, this is absolutely terrible and only becomes progressively worse (which makes it so much better). Just let it play and enjoy!

There is so much wrong with this. More budget for the stunt work than the actual production car...geez!

You know, I bet the Tiburon would have been a great looking car if it was RWD.

You were not lying...

That was awful* but I couldn’t look away.
*Speaking of awful, how does video quality get so bad ?? The original couldn’t have been this bad...

I mean, you said it was terrible, but I don’t think you really communicated the full scope and degree of terribleness this video contains. It’s like calling the“Two Girls and a Cup” video merely “gross”.

Adverbs should be used liberally.

Well every cop car I’ve ever seen has a vinyl roof ... and now we have someone to blame for those movies.

14" ventilated front brake rotors? Did I read that right? Why can’t I believe that for one second?

Quick google tells me that the fronts on the second gen were 11". No idea where that 14" nonsense came from in the “movie”.

Making it the last minute and a half was a real struggle. So. Bad.

Well I’d certainly want a disposable car if I was heading out on a mad car chase. No sense scratching up a full size Caddy. You could make up some story about Johnny Cash driving that Caddy and sell it in the 2000's for like $23k.

It’s the pre-cursor to The Fast and the Furious but starring the cops from the Sabotage video.
