TVR Gold Portfolio, 1959-86

Click to enlarge...The first roadgoing TVR Tuscan R made its debut on Saturday 31st March 2001 at the Powertour race meeting at Silverstone. Resplendent in TVR Purple the car is the finished item and no mock-up. 

TVR's new found enthusiasm for wind tunnel testing is obvious with faired in headlamps and a large diffuser at the rear ensuring a slippery profile at the front and sufficient downforce at the rear.

Although technically the Cerbera Speed 12 is top of the TVR range, it's expected that several Tuscan R's will hit the road long before we see any V12 Cerberas mixing it in the suburbs. 

With 400+ bhp and a civilised and relatively spacious interior this is a true Grand Tourer. Prices depend on specification and range from £70K to £100K. 

Inevitibly the question everyone will be asking is whether the Tuscan R now has the power and profile to be a 200mph breaker.
