New TVR still under wraps!

Yeah, looks pretty bad-ass. This thing will turn heads for sure.

Front looks a lot less bland when in motion and (i guess) also when seeing a real car in 3d. Is it confirmed btw, that the rear wing will be retractable ?

And why on earth didn't they put on a fresh set of tyres !?

Just been looking at the blue wedge..luvlee..an old buddy of mine had a white 450SEAC...not sure what happened to that one..as lost touch with Richard (the owner)...I do have a secret hankering for one though (keep telling myself they’re cheap to buy n juuuust sooo coool to look at)...and reckon they’ll appreciate nicely.

The new Griff gets better every time I look at the photos...cannot wait for the LMS day..bound to be some nice surprises in store I reckon...

I really want to love this car but by God that gormless mouth! Just brought another python moment to mind:



Come on fellas, sort it out!

So i did it, i called up TVR Today and cancelled my order for an LE.

I really wanted to like this and support TVR but cant get over the front end, and decided to keep the 599 instead.

Did they make any comment on your feedback.

They seemed totally disinterested !

Do they get to keep your deposit? Which may be why they seem disinterested.

Having a 599 in the garage is a pretty nice plan B!!!

Spag are you a deposit holder?

Yep Ferrari looks awesome. I think a delorean may be more opt for this tvr lol

When you take the side pics of the 599 you realise just how much better it looks.

The front end just isn’t doing it, and like I’ve said before that’s why i didn’t deposit. Looks need to be spot on

[spagbogdog]

I am M4tti..
Said it before..n I’ll say it again...
Witness the car for real to understand where all the curves are (and there are many..in the front end alone)..imagine where the no plate will be (lower central is my guess)...insert a grille..and the appearance changes back to ‘normality’.
The 599 is a nice car...but I don’t think anywhere near the best looking Fezza...and the front view......

I understand the front needs a bit getting used to (although i believe that the photos don't do it justice, but be it), but why throw away a free option by returning the deposit now ? There will be more showings, there will be reviews, there will be depositors-only events. All the action is about to start in the next few weeks or months and it's only when you signed on the dotted line, that you cannot walk away anymore.

So why now and not wait until driving reviews, factory news etc. are available ?

...the silence is deafening

[m4tti]

That’s because it just doesn’t flow.... there’s synergie from front to back on the 599, that’s just not there on the Griffith.

The markets getting tighter..the new R8 v6 is going to be a similar price and then there’s the mid engined corvette...

Completely disagree ... flows far better imo...a lot prettier than the 599..think it rather strange to bail at this stage when as Bullit rightly points out...all the (inter)action is about to start...
