Wasn't a very smart move of TVR doing the press car in black - it's a nightmare to get decent photos of it.



and there'll be even more now - the most popular Tuscan S colour on the production line at the moment is.....black.

And whats wrong with orange!!!!!

OK perhaps I am a bit biased but I love the chameleon orange on my S. I do admit though that it is a love it or hate it colour but it sure does get the looks!!!!

PetrolTed Your pictures of the standard Tuscan earlier this year in Moonraker black looked good in the photo's. Is that article still on the site somewhere?

I've had a tuscan with and without the aero kit. If you don't get the opportunity to open it up don't bother, but if you do its a must. Had to keep the tank as full as possible to keep the last one on the ground but too much weight and it bounces on the bumps, over 160 and its scary, found it very hard to stay in the correct lane over 170. The aero kit though increases the stability tremendously but only seems effective after 100. Unfortunately the front one broke off at about 150 and it really shows what it does making the steering feel very light (may be because of the downforce at the back?). It does seem to give some drag as performance really falls off after 140, needs more bhp.

overall the S is phenomenally quick and dangerously easy to drive quickly on windy roads allowing easy access to three figure speeds which was not possible in the std 4ltr. Its stability on high speed corners defies imagination.
