New TVR still under wraps! (Vol. 2)

[Thankyou4calling]

If it ever materialises then the TVR will be right up against the new Corvette.

I’m not in the market but if I were I’d go for the Vette.

What do others think?

Similar price, performance and appeal?

I would also go for the Corvette, obviously only seen pictures but it looks gorgeous.

Unfortunately for TVR, considering the two exterior designs, they appear to be from different decades.

They are completely different.

One is mid engined and resembles a supercar the other a GT car.

I would feel a right plum driving the Corvette! The TVR, you could get away with.

Anyone who drives a supercar in England must be on some sort of register!

A fairer comparison would be against the next generation Corvette and even that seems unlikely at this stage.

I see what you did there!

The Granturismo is a great looking car. My only criticism is that it does look a wide beastie for our roads.

Why would you feel a plum driving a Corvette, is it an age thing? My money my choice, anyway I like plums. 😆

My Cerbera was parked outside a local tyre-centre and a new C8 Corvette ended up parking near it.
The tyre centre employees came out to have a look, and (all except one) favoured the Cerbera.
Personally, I thought the C8 looked bonkers, if a little origami.

That corvette is a jockeys car.

[astonman]

I definitely prefer the 450S Maserati

That's not fair! So its Cerb over C8 then.

So, Cerb or new Griffith?

I no longer want a Maserati

It's only a matter of time before Baconsarney posts pictures of his Courgettes..

Is that the V8 variety.

I was reading Sprint magazine this morning which reminded me this farce is still going on. If that factory does ever happen then their new Griffith will be completely the wrong car to build. It'll be dead on arrival.

If they could get a license, they should get hold of Tesla floorpans and adopt the old coachbuilder business model. A new car with Tesla performance, range and proven technology with a beautiful body & interior could sell in enough volume to make a bit of profit. It would at least revive the name and bring some news interest. Borrowing std car parts and re-using them to build sportscars is what TVR has always done.

Electric was suggested toward the start of this sorry story - about 3 or 4 years ago. They persisted with their destined to fail approach despite their business model becoming less and less practicable due to all the various issues and challenges. If they want to stand a chance they need to change tact quickly. Not just the design and power train but also their business model.

It's all there. Pop a modernised Cerbera body on it and off you go.
