I was fortunate enough to still be hanging around the car park on Saturday afternoon when PW arrived in the Tuscan R.
Was also cheeky enough to ask him could I sit in it and start her up (stopped short of asking could I do a few donuts round the car park) to which he said no prob!
Good on yer PW
(Imagine one of the Quandt family turning up at BMW drivers club meet in Bavaria on a wet saturday afternoon in the first example next years M-whatever and doing this?)
Anyway back to the car-Automotive porno,feckin wicked,want one,cant afford one now,probably never will

[PiB]

I think it's wicked and wonderful. Rear diffuser isn't as cool as I thought it was.

I have a short AVI of you sat in Tuscan R wipers going and rev-ing the engine. Email and I'll send a copy.

[kerniki]

Man that car is uuuuuuugly! (IMO)

[jamieheasman]

I always thought one of the nicest styling cues of the original Speed 12 was the rear lights. I was delighted to see them back on the Tuscan R and now they go and change them to this! It looks like they ran out of ideas!

The rest of the car looks awesome. Hopefully the press will receive it in the spirit it is intended and it will wipe the floor with anything else out there. 70k? A bargain. Make mine a black one.

[swisstoni]

I think Captain Scarlet had one of them....

[duncan m]

Fat bottomed girls, they make the rockin' world go round

[McReis]

I want the first one! This car looks ages away from the original model and it's very ugly and un-original compared to the other!


Anybody else is with me? Or are still saying that it is awesome just because it's a TVR?

Anyway, it will still be a fantastic car.

[Botthom]

Thay have sharpened the legendary TVR trademark of the door shapes

[johnny senna]

Don't like it. TVR need to get back to beatiful shapes (Griffith/Tuscan Speed 6). This thing looks like a bad kit car.

[mattjbatch]

Anyone got any pics of the earlier versions of the Tuscan R?

Cheers

I thought the press' biggest critisim of the Tamora was the volumous butt end. So is making the range toppers arse larger a good move?

For me TVRs are about speed, noise, looks and cost. Lets face it, they aren't expensive when you look at the competition. So take out looks (its ugly), cost (its expensive) and noise (Tuscans and Tamoras don't sound anything as good as Griffs or 4.5 Cerberas) you are left with speed. And that's just not enough in my opinion...

[JohnLow]

Looking at Cleg's pics there - maybe I prefer the old back after all.

Whichever back end is on it - it's f*king stunning IMO, nothing else comes close.

Yes it's expensive compared to a ... Nissan? Cerbera even? But that's not its competition.

What does anything else that can top 200mph cost?
What about anything else that can top 200mph with kids in the back? Oh no, nothing else can do this.
What does anything else that looks as good cost?
Oh, no, nothing else looks as good.

Noise is generally strangled by cats nowadays anyway.

[JonRB]

Maybe its the colour and angles, but the pictures of the prototype posted by cleg look gorgeous compared to the photos of the "almost finished" red one.

[squirrelz]

Isn't that usually what happens when prototypes are turned into real cars?

[MEMSDesign]

Well I like it.

Tuscan may have looked neater, but there's no point in having a 190mph car that tries to take off over 100. The aerodynamic elements to the rear at least look like they were designed to be there from the off.

[mattjbatch]

Cheeers for the piccie Cleg. I am now of the opinion that TVR have, concerning certain styling aspects of the Tuscan R, made a complete ballsup!
