NCAP Pedestrian safety

[Targarama]

I was thinking the other day (I do sometimes). Recent model TVRs such as the Tamora, Tuscan and especially the T350 ought to come out pretty well in the upcoming pedestrian impact tests.

I know the engine is probably quite close to the bonnet which isn't good, but the nosecone would scoop the pedestrians up and not break their legs at least, then we just need the bonnet to pop up Honda stylee (they have a new design where the bonnet is front hinged and pops open a bit on impact to soften the impact of a pedestrian's head). I'm sure we'd have a 5 star result

It may not be designed to do it...but something tells me that it would probably pop up in an impact (and the boot...and the doors would drop off!)

well, after Jeremy Clarkson complained about the Toyota Prius being too silent for pedestrians to be noticed, I know one thing for sure:

A TVR won't come as a surprise. It's also that sophistication in safety features that I love about TVRs

LOL, Inded, a sports exhaust only adds to the high safety value of our Tivs!!!
