TVR...The Future
Reports of TVR’s death have been greatly exaggerated, and these are the first pictures of its new carbonfibre-bodied supercar, the Typhoon. (THE PIC DIDN'T COME OVER WITH THE COPY & PASTE, GO TO THEIR WEB SITE TO VIEW IT. PS I'M NOT SHOUTING)
TVR's future is still up in the air - a statement from the company released after Christmas indicates that the UK manufacturing arm, Blackpool Automotive, is to be sold off. It is unclear whether any deal will exclude rights to the TVR name and brand, so although we can tell you all the juicy details of the Typhoon we can’t actually reveal where it – and future TVRs – will be built, or even whether the cars produced by Nikolai Smolensky will still bear the TVR moniker. Piecing together all the leaks and rumours, it looks almost certain that the manufacture of TVRs in Blackpool is finished, and increasingly likely that the Typhoon – and the T350, Sagaris, Tuscan and Tamora – will be built in Europe, with Italy's Bertone heavily tipped as a partner. Ricardo Engineering was announced as a technical partner back in November (it has been developing the Speed Six engine to comply with Euro V emissions legislation), so we’d expect it to be charged with building the drivetrain, which will then be shipped out to the manufacturing facility and mated to the chassis/body. Ricardo has a superb reputation and if it is developing the TVR-designed engines it can only be good news for customers and the future of TVR alike – warranty claims have been a thorn in TVR's side since the AJP engines were introduced in ’96. TVR is set to announce its final plans on January 17 at a press conference in London. However, even with technical partners as respected as Ricardo and Bertone (assuming it will build the cars) sales success could yet hinge on whether potential customers will want to buy a specialist British sports car that isn’t built in Britain… For the full story see Evo Magazine and go to: www.evo.co.uk/news/evonews/204588/ Or to subscribe to Evo go to: www.evo.co.uk/subsmarketing/XWEB

Someone also needs to tell them that's not what the Typhoon will look like either. Its bad when Motor Mags print aload of bollox, for a dealer just to copy it suggests the dealer is out of touch - not very impressive at all.
That Daddy said:
Tvr meets Buck rogers.what a nasty looking car.
I assume that 'cos it wasn't created by Damian McTaggart, unlike all current models.
(He could [and still can] create a really beautiful design),
(I sincerely hope I'm correct in this assumption!)

What does Damian McTaggart do now? (if its shareable of course
) I'm sure his talents would be in great demand.. On that note, who was responsible for the interior designs? I can name a good number of car manufacturers who would benefit from that persons wisdom.
