Best looking TVR ever? Let the debate begin!

[bcms]

Following on from a debate about the new T350R (or whatever the blasted thing is called), and its looks in the Tamora section I want to re-assert my belief that BOLLOX is the Griffith shape dated it is still the most stunning, original shape TVR has ever come up with.

BUT I thought it might be nice to stimulate some debate on the issue. Are the new shapes based too much on function over form? (My own POV like the fronts hate the backs)

My faves are:
1) Griff
2) Chimaera / Cerbera
3) Tuscan
4) S series

Sorry if this is a long worn out discussion but what the hey, there are too many O/T's these days!!!

(Yes I'm biased)

has to be the griff lovely lines and love the back end of the car along with the 5ltr v8 symphony.
Tuscan not that far behind though.

Cerbera 4.5, and I'm not biased!

[madasahatter]

Cerbera.....Totally biased.

[alt]

I've got a Tamora and had a Chimaera before that but the best looking is a new Cerbera 4.5 LW.........

[theboymoon]

For me it has to be a Cerbera 4.5 with the original front lights and spider alloys!

Bit of a pointless debate IMO.
'best looking' is a subjective decision with therefore no correct answer...

P.S. Griff & Tuscan have joint 1st place in my book!

Cerbera 4.5 in spiders and new lights Looks far more menacing than a Griff and can bite twice as hard...

[bcms]

The Cerb seems to be taking an early lead!!! Do like to see the reasoning though chaps - "more aggressive" - "back seats in Cerb means some lovin can be done" etc etc!!!

If a Tiv was going in my garage it would definitely be a griff. Wins the looks game by miles.

Dazren needs new glasses !!! Or maybe he has a short garage so limits the choice...

When it comes to sheer aesthetics I reckon the Cerbera is very hard to beat. On of the world's finest looking cars IMHO. Couldn't own one myself because the top doesn't come off...but on sheer looks.

Just don't like the Griff rear end. Sorry but that's MHO. (Agree that the 3/4 front view is one of the best in the business)

The T350C is a great looking car - but its got a roof. Couldn't get used that that

The Tuscan looks completely awesome (not being biased, I drive a Chim) and it gets my vote anyday.

No my goggles are prescrption, not blurred by alcohol either.

There's nothing short about my garage it just needs a little more girth (about 200% should allow another four cars).

Cerbera seems to have everything right about it: sumptuous curves, aggressive low stance, out-of-this-world interior and innovative styling cues that (still) haven't been matched. You can pretty much guarantee open gawping mouths, stares and much pointing whenever a Cerbera is seen.

I rest my case.

[basher]

Sure you are talking about your garage there Dazren !!!!

[beano1197]

Hey, JeremyC - that's not playing fair!!

[beano1197]

(You know that everyone's gonna drool over any nice pic of a TVR!!)

[johno]

It is the Griffith.

The Griffith set a new bench mark in terms of design and direction for the factory.

You can see a piece of Griffith in every car that has been released since. To be honest the factory struggle to get away from the Griffth. The new T350C and the Tuscan are possibly the furthest removed.

The Cerberra's problem for me is that the design does not encompass a removal roof, therefor floored, . Many of the styling cues are also Chimeara driven and therefor it doesn't stand alone in the sense a Griffith does.

I am totally unbiased.

Tuscan is my favorite and I too have a Chimaera so no bias. Love the look of them all mind, they all look great and unlike most cars they sound as good as they look.
