Maybe they spent all the money on chairs. That's a Ludwig mies van der rohe chair in the pic above, cost over 5k

Engines: maximum 5.5L NA, or 4L FI.
Doesn't really seem fair. A 4L FI engine these days is way more powerful than an NA 5.5L ever could be. Are there other restrictions? As it stands it would be a non starter trying to be competitive with an NA engine given the allowed FI option.
yes, I'd thought that.. but I'm sure they are aware of it, so interesting to see what plans are? Doesn't really seem fair. A 4L FI engine these days is way more powerful than an NA 5.5L ever could be. Are there other restrictions? As it stands it would be a non starter trying to be competitive with an NA engine given the allowed FI option.

They will add ballast.

Actually slightly unlikely, the WEC/ACO BOP regs are a lot more subtle than that, fuel flow, air restrictors and fuel tank size all have a much more noticeable impact on performance, depending upon the chassis, engine type and engine placement. There's been a brilliant article by Graham Goodwin on Daily Sports car about it in the last few days.Adding weight can actually be almost pointless.

Nice work by EVO on the new TVR and details behind the scenes..Leads with:

Looks like Gordon Murrey almost walked away from the project when they started talking of Carbon launch editions ..
Interesting TVR time line - just a shame they got the SEAC details wrong but nice to see a picture of my 450 SEAC when it was green
Couldn't see a thread on this so thought I'd add it here. It seems they've made an offer on factory premises in Ebbw vale http://www.walesonline.co.uk/business/business-new...

Thats a good milestone - I hope they paint a massive 'TVR' on the roof so Google earth picks it up at the next update

Another month gone. As far as I know, no network reveal yet.. Any one had any deposit holder comms?
No contact at all, getting to get a bit pissed off a bit now
