Gorgeous. I reckon it might actually tempt us from the Chimaera...

Looks like the Griffith has a natural successor now. I for one think it looks great, but I'll have a closer look when I'm at the show next week.

Nah cant be, its too big.
I still think the Tamora is the Griff sucessor.
Shame no V8 though.

I can honestly say my heart skipped a beat when I saw the piccies. Absolutely gorgeous. Can't wait to see one in the flesh, still not selling Wol though!

Mrmaggit, you'll never sell wol!

Even if I had the money I wouldnt swap my Griff for any Tuscan. Just my preference. I can see why others like them though.

Does look a bit like a Griff. Years back they did the Griffith Speed 6 - which formed some of the ideas for the Tuscan. Could be all coming full circle.

I think the Tuscan engine bay is actually too narrow to slot a V8 in there.

Conversely there was a Cerbie for sale on here a which had a Tuscan S engine in.

Its absolutly beautiful, as someone said a true successor for the Griffith, I will be seriously looking at one of these, I have always liked the Tuscans but wanted a true rag head and they have gone and done it, well done TVR

Looks great, much more a modern Griff.
Hope it handles like a T350, then it's perfect!

Nothing strange in that - it's the Speed 6 Cerbera. Rich...

No - it had the S spec Speed 6 with 390 BHP, not the 350/360 BHP you get in the standard Cerb Speed 6. And it was uprated with tyres/brakes to 4.5 spec.
