The worst thing about the launch has been the negativity on here. Entirely predictable sadly.
Not just here, but everywhere else. I don't get it. Nobody until today had seen the car, nobody knew anything other than a small handful of headline numbers, yet they were already dismissing it as a failure / too expensive / unreliable / badly made. It's laughable.On another forum there was one muppet who, having taken a wild guess at some of Les Edgar's maths, went on to write an entire essay about why it was wrong and how Edgar would lose all his money. You couldn't make it up.
Back end is the best bit. I think they have done it right, apart from the wheels.
All the way since this has been announced people have been negative, they wont do this, it wont be this, it wont look like this.
They have done it, this is a good result and I like the looks, we need to see it go now.

The styling is so disappointing IMHO
The rear looks to Track racer, and the front looks far too bland with a silly smile with the front grill. And those wheels .................... Jesus !
TVR always stood for 911 Turbo performance for less money than a standard 911 Carrera.
Starting price of £90,000 ! Wow.
For £90k, I'd want something that looked better than a looking like a Kit car.
Think the Board of Porsche will be having a very merry Executive lunch today. So will McLaren etc.

It looks less exciting and edgy than the concept and teasers.
However, those photos, the red colour and those ghastly wheels are very unflattering.
I reckon it will be a good looking car in dark metallic green with sensible wheels. Love the side pipes.
The goodwood photos are better.
Still, moronic choice of colour and wheels.

With respect, I don't think Les' target market is the Porsche or McLaren mob. That's for the brave, safe - dare I say dull - souls.

God. I've just watched the launch video on the Goodwood facebook page. Filmed on a potato, car is started, mildly revs, then stops, unclear if they meant to kill it, whole crown uncomfortable, the curtain drops and everyone goes... a bit quiet. Hmmm. I don't think the negativity on here is misplaced to be honest. I've been looking for about an hour on and off and nothing I've come into contact with so far seems of any decent quality.
1) pics are rubbish
2) in this youtube age, there's no good video
3) in the one video I have found with the engine being used, the test mule looks better than the finished car. Error!
If they've dropped every ball going for something like a launch, how well are they going to actually manage building a whole load of cars?

Mixed emotions now that it's finally been revealed.
Dissapointed because to me it looks a bit rubbish yet relieved that having seen it I don't desperately want something I can't really afford to own.
I still wish them all the very best though and hope they go on to produce a 'lesser' model that's better looking and more affordable.

Had an original Griff but am mildly disappointed with this new one.
Looks a little generic and an amalgamation of several other cars (but not previous TVRs), as already noted.
Interior is also a let down considering the price.
Ah yes, the price! I'll never be able to afford one unless they tank on the used car market.
I wonder what this will do to the price of original Griffs?

that's £30k cheaper than an Evora with 430 BHP :-) The rear looks to Track racer, and the front looks far too bland with a silly smile with the front grill. And those wheels .................... Jesus !

but it's a shame it has EPS and looks rank :-(
the UK needs a £60k 2 seater sports car with a NA 400 bhp engine, it cannot be that hard to do !
