Sorry but who ever done that should stick to Clio's and Saxo's for the Maxpower brigade, after having his b
My names Greg from Newlundesign ,thought I should let everyone know the truth behind the car you are so kindley slating;
The car you are looking at is a prototype car it has been designed for track days,the picture is an old one and the front mr wheelers tash as u so kindly put has changed(admittedley as design oversight).
The front of the car has been widened to house two intercoolers and acts as a diffuser to push wind round the car.
It has four intakes feeding the brakes for cooling.
The grills on the side wings are for letting the wind trapped in the wheel arches out.
To house these outlets the whole car has been widened,
side skirts have been added to stop wind getting under the car.
Wings on the back are fully ajustable and a frame has been placed in the back to take the strain.
The whole interior is carbon and the engine is being surpercharged by tvr power ,so a different bonnett had to be made to give us the room and for extra cooling.
When customizing a car for the use of track days etc, it is impossable to maintain the shape of the original car ,tvr's are very hard to work with due to their curves and styling, but the whole aim of this car was to make it more stable at high speed and better cooling.
It is not being built with production in mind and Nic is not changing the look of tvr he has had nothing to do with the car.
It should be looked at as a prototype and an experimental car.
The fact is in testing at high sped the car is planted and very stable(170 plus)no problems with brakes or cooling.
I realise people feel strongley about changing tvrs and believe me i'm the biggest fan, but in person the car does actually look really good and will look well placed on a track.
I hope this might help shed some light on this matter and will be happy to comment further.
One last thing i don't understand all the hating on Nic, what a lot of you forget is tvr under wheeler was broke, we couldn't get bits ,engines blowing up leaving us big bills, i've been stung myself. He has put millions of his own money into trying to sort all the problems out he inherited, but this takes time and already the speed 6 is much better and parts are arriving quicker.

Design bashing? never...
Ever since Nikolai took over there has been a steady flow of 'there goes the great TVR designs'
and I just don't get it?
Nothing has been announced, no concepts have appeared and the rumours about cars
and now this modified T350 just keep coming in a negative against Nikolai.
Nobody said it was the way forward and it's akin to me posting a photo of the
Carisma car and everyone jumping to the conclusion that is NM's plans for us all.
There are several cars he has in development away from the factory and NONE to
my knowledge has any bearing on future TVRs, they are just his own 'play' things just
as are Ash's, Stuart's or Cameron's.
Each to their own and I know we are all keen to see the future of TVR, but this
ISN'T it so let's cut the guy some slack.
