Hello!

According to wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVR_Tusc the bhp/torque figures for tuscans are as follows:

Power and torque:
Tuscan: 360 hp (268.5 kW), 310 ft.lbf (420.3 Nm)
Tuscan Red Rose: 380 hp (283.4 kW), 310 ft.lbf (420.3 Nm)
Tuscan S (pre-2003): 390 hp (290.8 kW), 310 ft.lbf (420.3 Nm)
Tuscan S (post-2003): 400 hp (298.3 kW), 315 ft.lbf (427.1 Nm)
3.6 L: 350 hp (261 kW), 290 ft.lbf (393.2 Nm)

Out of interest (I know it makes next to no real-world difference), can anyone tell me what was done to the 04 Tuscan S to give it the extra 10hp and 5ft of torque? Additionally, was anything else done on the 04 models (suspension, brakes etc) to give it an advantage over the 03 and earlier models?

Thanks

I was told when I got mine the head had better Breathing. Never had it on a Roll road though although from what I can tell it will likley be 5-10% short of this.

But as you say in the real world it's not going to make any differance. Cant keep the power on the road as it is
