Great front, great profile, not so convinced about the rear. I really love the the rounds lights 'bulging' on the bodywork, i.e. Tamora style.

Having said that, I'd love to see one in the flesh, I am dying to hear it screaming, and I'd happily give up a testicle to own one.

Cheers

Just from the photos, I think it looks good, the front and the side are the best features.

LIVE! from the NEC! 20 feet away from the Ted!
Just come from the TVR launch. As usual something went wrong and Ben's microphone started playing up. In the end he had to shout across the hall. There are 2 Tamora GTs (thats good news!). The only addition I would make would be some "Afterburner" rear ligts. (Just like those on the speedcentral 306!)

T-350R 9/10 (the Japs will love it!)

Can't wait to see it on Sunday before I make my mind up totally. Does look stunning from the front and the sides but not convinced yet about the rear. Need to see it in the flesh.

Best TVR show car since the Cerbera. THe back is nearly right and a meteoric improvement on the Tamora. Generally I like it Alot, Back on form at TVR...

Looks a bit like a more rounded Marcos from the front 3/4's angle, proof will be in how it goes and more importantly how it goes around bends if it is a track day toy?

Looks better than a Tuscan R. All fab except I still dont like the flared rear wheel arches. Think the back is much better than Tamora and Tuscan R. A real wow factor though. So might see one on the road in 3 yrs or so?

Apparently, they will be on the road within weeks. The bodyshell and aero package are the only things different to a Tamora and I have been reliably informed they will be available almost immediatley..

I want mine before Christmas!!

I like it more than the Tamora but the proportions still seem out.

It has a lovely long front end and a really abrupt rear end. It'll probably handle very well but its still not the best looking TVR.

How about the Cerbera rear end on it ?
(or will it just look like a Cerbera then ?

Looks like a Hatch to me. Either that or you will have to pull the seats forward to get the luggage in. Either way it doesn't matter. As long as I can get all the stuff in for Le Mans!!

WOW, great, sensational, best looking TVR since the Cerbera. TVR have managed to pull out the stops on this and it shows. Let’s hope that they can deliver on their promise that cars will be available with weeks of the show. I can’t wait to see the car at the show, though I’ll have to wait till the 30th :-( But I know that It’ll be worth the wait !!.

Ref. The rear lights Maserati style, Maserati scraped the ‘boomerang’ style lights as the US market didn’t like them, they now use very boring square looking light cluster. Does this mean that TVR aren’t looking to the US market??

Wow.

wow. still speechless

This is amazing. When I first saw the Tamora I wasn't quite sure about it compared to some of the other cars. (and, yes I've seen one in the flesh I've even sat in one)

This, however is so amazing. Its just so complete. The whole thing just gells. The tail end looks fantastic and really suits the car. I especially like the lights, both front and rear. The whole car looks so smooth and aerodynamic. Maybe its just the colour or the vents under the lights but the front reminds me of a Porsche of all things!!!!

This is TVR at its finest. No hesitation, no "it'll grow on me" milarky, this is just plain beautiful out the box.

If I win the lottery this'll be the car for me. NOw if only they could shoehorn an AJP8 in there

No, it just shows that -

a)Americans have no style
b)Maserati are fools.

Not sure it looks very TVR at the front from the pics though. More Marcos/Porsche GT/Invikta
