I know it’s from this angle and the colour all adds to it but for me, this is exactly the right shape and size of a usable car for the English roads. A sort of sensible sized dodge viper.

I very much like everything from all angles about it in this video: The colour red on the prototype has never done it any favours in my opinion.

And after looking at it for 5 times again, i say: build the damn thing !!

Yes, it was a SERIOUS error of judgement releasing it in that red. It looks SO much better in darker colours.
If it’d been released in that classic TVR reflex purple, I think things would a lot further along by now.
As we’re into personal choice here if the front was like a hillman imp, rear formed as a boat tail and painted with a nice rainbow a la recent events, it’s quite clear that TVR wouldn’t be in the fix they are and be up to the Mk2 off the production line by now. Why oh why don’t they listen? TshIf it’d been released in that classic TVR reflex purple, I think things would a lot further along by now.
I don't think looks are the issue.
They clearly have not put forward a viable business plan in order to attract enough funding for both the current car and any longer term viability of the new co.
If they had investors would be falling over themselves to provide funding and deposit holders would by now be driving around in their new, albeit slightly front end ugly, Griffiths.

Money talks and TVR are currently mute.

Extra points for coming up with a sentence that uses both "sensible" and "Viper" The colour red on the prototype has never done it any favours in my opinion.

k and the new Griffith is a much better looking car, even with the Lightening McQueen face.m4tti said:
This is interesting... what will it do on the top gear test track. I can pretty much guarantee it won’t be top 10. It’ll be amazing if it’s top 20.
I’m going for 1:17.8
Which would put it top 15...I’m going for 1:17.8

Hum looking at the board, I'll revise that to top 20...

That is a very handsome car.
A beautiful looking car no doubt but not in the same category as the new Griff in my opinion.The Griff is a bit like the Mercedes coupe's, not an everyday car but something you could use on a regular basis and doesn't look too out of place unlike all the supercar type vehicles. Generally in my opinion, look like they're been driven by knobs on our overcrowded UK roads.
That's why I like my 5.5 Chimaera and haven't changed it yet as there isn't anything around to fit the bill.
A s
tload of power in a small package, manual gearbox and you don't see one coming the other way every 10 minutes. Of course, I would love ABS, traction, airbags and a bit of protection but unfortunately that isn't available!

Quite good company, i'd be amazed if it got there. But looking at the top 30, there are only 3 cars that really would do something for me: Ford GT, Viper and AMD GT. Gassing Station | General TVR Stuff & Gossip | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
