That was an interesting read, thanks for the link! Still pretty amazing to think they designed and built their own engines in the Wheeler days.

I think people are being too precious over what a TVR is.

In a world where few proper, modern V8 sportscars remain, I suspect his main competition will be seen as F-type and Corvette.

Whether intentional or not you've stumbled on an interesting point there. With the death of the Viper and the next Corvette moving to mid engine it seems Americans are crying out for a 'new cobra'. It will be interesting to see how much of the order book (if any) is for export.

People said for years the Brits didn't want a V8 Mustang, they couldn't have been more wrong. Hopefully it will be the same for reborn TVR.

I should think so, I always thought the Yanks were missing a trick that the other companies were happy to capitalise on...

It looks like the AMG GT / SLS and TVR Sagaris combined; i hope the back resembles the sketch as it looks fantastic.

Perhaps in a few years ...

Are there plans for a convertible?

Looking forward to tomorrow, sort of hoping they don't have the reveal car so close to that roof post, might get in the way of the photographs...

I hope it's not the one under the black cover. That's a big bh!!!

Hope those photos were taken before 6pm as I've not seen my car for about 2 weeks and it should have turned up there today!

[edo]

Er no. More cgi.

fk off. Jesus, just setting themselves up for a fall dragging it on so much.

Not sure what's under the black cover but it looks like it's on an elevated stand.

Maybe they decided to go with an SUV.

Would be my Nirvana. My favourite car brand and my favourite car type.

One of the most common car combos on PH for years has been TVR + Land/Range Rover. Makes absolute sense to combine the two. Who doesn't want to tow a horse over a field at 150mph or have space to kick back and relax while waiting for the AA. : D

Name wise I'm going to agree with others here, I reckon it'll be called the Griffith.
Power / Weight wise I'd guess 500hp, seems like a nice round target for them to go for and something the Coyote engine will do easily with some tweaks. Weight wise I reckon about 1300kg maybe a little bit less. Looking forward to seeing it!

Apparently the engine in a mule. Sounds unapologetic.

Exciting though.

Feed seems to be mute. I'm worried the sound will kick-in at volume 11 as soon as I take a phone call.
