New models - any idea?

[rbv8]

I'm thinking of taking the plunge and ordering a new Tiv in the new year but before I make such an investment does anyone know when the new models will be confirmed?

Theres been a few rumours on here i've read and talk of prototypes hidden away at the factory but would be good to know!

Cheers!

The Geneva motorshow if the rumors are to be believed.......to coincide with TVR's 60th anniversary.

At the factory tour they said 3 new cars at the Geneva motorshow,i'm guessing at one being the new cerby,a reworked Saggy and maybe a new model to replace the tam.
This is my guess,don't know anthing for sure.

No too long to wait then....

08 – 18 March 2007
77th International Motor Show
Place: Geneva Palexpo

so if its TVR's 60th birthday, is there anything special planned??

Peter Wheeler and a big wad of cash inside a birthday cake maybe

for the 50th birthday, Top Gear made the Blackpool Rock special...it would be nice to see an indepth feature length documentary on TVR!!!

The first new TVR model is announced exclusively in October's Sprint Magazine - it should fall through the letterbox any day...

Thought it was already common knowledge that TVR were working on the replacement for the Cerbera ?

[FUBAR]

Now I see why you wanted to know if I still get Sprint!

It will be some variation on the SP6 if they manage to stay in business till xmas.

[jagdpanther]

It would be nice to see TVR using a Straight 8

[oldchestnut]It would be nice if we do see a successor to the Cerbera, but as much as I like the SP6, Id love to see a revised version of the AJP[/oldchestnut]

They are headed Straight down the loo with out a V8 - Bloody Fools up there.

That one will look like a Tuscan 1 and be driven by a chap called Graham

keep up keep up... the missing model from the tvr line up is a 4x4, the prototype looks kind of like a cerbera thats been pumped up, with rear doors working in the same way as an rx8.

its an aluminium composite tub with integral safety cage and bolt on front and rear sub frames.


the interior is a sort of neoprean (sp) material so whilst looking amazing its hose clean like the original range rover.

as for engines it does have a v8, which is based on the ajp. Its been expanded to 6ltr and converted to diesel to fit in better with the market... the noise is unreal, the diesel clatter is masked by the valvetrain noise. you still get the pops and bangs, but the flames from the exhaust have been replaced with clouds of black smoke.... handy for avoiding getting snapped by a gasto, just lift off and you cant see the car from behind..
