Not seen this on any forum so I thought I'd light the blue touch paper and see what comments it generates

I'm not convinced

Its just a rendering that was in Octane with the TVR article. I'm pretty sure they did it.

They said it was a rendering, but to me it just looks like they've photoshopped in a few parts from other cars, I'm sure part of the front is from a Ferrari 430.

It really *ticks* me off when they do this, these crappy photoshopped images plastered over the cover. You buy the mag and there are hardly any column inches, no actual info, and a liitle "this is our image' bit from the mag.

Auto Car and Express are particularly guilty of this. Typically the car tends to be a lotus " New Espirit! " or a TVR. I used to fall for it, but now I just look at the covers and think "wkers".

I know that they are trying to sell magazines but a little solid fact would be nice, not just some rehashing of someone elses story....

interesting... i heard that 'something' was going on and it appears one of the TVR designers - David Martin - was designing something after-all...

I think Octane had been promised a scoop or at least some advance information by TVR and planned to run the piece as some sort of 'this is TVR's past and this is the future' but they got caught out by a typical TVR no show....
