Differences in TVR Tuscans?

[shibby!]

Hi guys

Was having a wee look at Tuscans the other day...

I see some advertised as Tuscan 2's and Tuscan 4.0.

Whats the differences between them all?
How many models of Tuscan are there?

On a side note, what are the weaknesses in the new Tvr's?



Thanks

Theres a TVR section for this.

Surely more people than me have wondered this, and generally wont visit those forums.

Its just a question... Not enough to warrant signing up to a whole new forum!

You don't have to "sign up" to another forum but anyway.....

Tuscan 4.0 is reference to engine size.
Tuscan 2 is reference to the mark 2 Tuscan (slightly restyled and less scary handling)
As for the general reliability of the Tuscan/ speed 6 engine, just have a read up on the TVR forums, there is even a forum dedicated to the engine. It will provide with all the imformation you need to decide whether a Tuscan is for or not.

You don't have to sign up. Just post in the TVR general section.

Scroll up, click on Gassing Station and then scroll down till you find 'TVR'.

Fairly simple though.

There were two mk of Tuscan. The first was 'sharper' looking and had three recessed lights on the front. The steering was very direct.
Tye MkII had softened lines and the headlights were faired in. Steering less direct and the suspension was tweaked. Interior trim was different too.
All had stright six engines; essentially in two versions - a 3.6 and a 4.0. Being TVR there was a lot of scope for customisation/special versions but this covers the basics.

Take a peek in the classifieds and the difference will be apparent.

im not sure about mechanical differences between the 2 but i think the Tuscan mk1 looks nicer, im not too keen on the lights on the mk2.

The grill sections nicer on the mkII as never liked the cheese grater style. On the other hand prefer the rear tail on the mkI S and definately not the expance of fibre glass on the mkII S.
Each to their own.

Mine does 0 to 60 in 2.8 seconds and the rest do it in 4ish





















I haven't timed it yet it just feels like that.

So whats the difference in the S and others?

Seems like all the earlier ones are 4.0's

And new ones are 3.6 unless they are an S which is a 4.0.


This right?

Ya S is top speck, with uprated engine, brakes, and suspension. Unreal performance for slightly more but its well worth it!!
