Instant 10 in my opionin, stunning. Want......Badly

[DJC]

The search has ended.

[pits]

Bit pricey for a kit car if you ask me...*Runs away giggling*

[CTE]

I think its the business....old and modern...sure the front of the bonnet is not so clean, but its like that for a reason and its purposeful.
If its a properly finished car I`ll have one.

oh wow! that is briliant. what a potential sleeper. every joe bloggs would assume its an old classic not a lightweight scorcher with nigh on 500bhp!!

Aye, would leave them for dead.
Cue a lot of surprised looks - what the hell was that thing?!

[FWDRacer]

Great product and resurection ruined by a front bumper that looks like an afterthought penned by a 14yr old...

...And the rear lights were ropey in 1970. Couldn't that area of had a bit of the attention to bring it up to date

Can't argue with the profile though.

I saw it a race retro and it looks even better than the photos. The Bumper looks good in my opinion whn you see it in the flesh. Think there is a lot of work to turn it from a race car into a fully developed road car with the basic ergonomics we expect though.

Can you imagine the grunt of that thing ?. it weighs bugger all!

[JonRB]

With that power-to-weight ratio I think I might want traction control for road use.

Absolutely love it!! Gimme one now

Dear Pistonheads,

Please stop tempting me with cars like this.

SEOT.


BTW: the DRL... I'm afraid if they ever want to commercialise this, they'll be forced to put some on (if their selling date is somewhere in 2011)

Looks a very good effort. Not perfect but not a long way short.

Now if they fancy doing something that looks liks a Griff & Chim with the same engine layout, it could be old school TVR just with 3 new letters.

[Greenwich Ross]

That looks absolutely cracking

[Daston]

Personally I would purchase an M and drop a chevy lump in that. Costs should be lower as well

[jsr]

I've never had much interest in any of the older TVR's (pre Griffith), but that does look amazing

[johnhenry]

classic tvr:
stunning looks
savage power

oh to have ££££

[stewy68]

I thought the concept looked good too.

Brilliant, classic shape that will always look cool. I do like the old circullar Mk1 Cortina lights though! Almost 500bhp in a car weighing less than a ton

[TVaRt]

Very nice, always liked that shape of Tiv. The front bumper just looks too modern for the rest of the car, especially the back (lights) which needs a little update?!?

[Spiritual_Beggar]

FFS!!! Not that damned Chevy engine again



We'll be seeing it standardised throughout the industry at this rate! Not that it's a bad engine or anything.......but variety is the spice of life.



Gorgeous car though.....Absolutely Gorgeous!
