Tuscani, what does it mean?

Hi,

I was noticing the "Tuscani" brand under Tiburon and who created this name? Where did it come from?

I have allot of friends who own Tiburons and I'm looking into get one, but this name kinda threw me.

I guess, give me some info without flaming me for being ignorant, lol.

Re: Tuscani, what does it mean?

The Tiburon is known as the Tuscani in Korea and the Coupe in Europe.

Rumor has it the Tuscani name came because the body of the car resembles the Ferrari 456. (Since Ferrari is an Italian company and Tuscany is a region of Italy--slightly different spelling).

Well we did see it over and over again, but we still didn't know where it came from.

Now I have clarity.

Spanish. Not sure if the Portuguese word is the same, but I am 100% sure it is Spanish.
