Tamora in EVO car of the year

[bertie]

The January edition of EVO plopped onto the mat this morning and it appears they rather like the Tamora.

I shan't spoil the suprise by telling you where it comes but we're talking top 5 cars of the year!

Rather like CAR magazine had it in their top 6 Performance Cars of The Year results. R...

Went for a test drive on the Tamora... awesome. I am a very average driver, proud owner of a 4.5 Chimaera since last week, and yet even I could feel the dramatic improvement on handling, driveability (sp?) without comprising performance and character (e.g. noise). This car is simply the new generation of TVR ! I can't afford it now, but give a couple of years...

Cheers

As far as i can tell from a quick skim read of the article, the only reason it didn't win was because it went a bit skittish on a very bumpy road...and as soon as it got to "a reasonable UK B-road type road" it soared off and caught up again. Not much wrong with that, then.

EVO has to be the only place you can find a car of the year test with decent cars in it - only one BMW, NO MPVs, SUVs etc, and INTERESTING sports cars.

What a welcome change from Drivel & Co and those car mags which only show you prototypes covered in tape.

The two or three I have seen are miles better build quality than anything I have seen from TVR yet.

I reckon this is down to it being less fiddly than the Tuscan and less options of meddling with the trim.

Just cant wait for them to build mine!!
