TVR Not Making the T350R...

[V8 Archie]

...apparently it has a name instead. Any guesses?

[RichB]

The TVR Typhon they simply have to name a car the Typhon. As I said a few years ago it has all the right attributes for a TVR name. i) It's a mythical beast ii) It's easy to mis-spell and iii) Journalists will not be able to pronounce it.

It's an absolute classic the TVR Typhon. Rich...

[V8 Archie]

Is that Typhon as in Tiffany?

[PetrolTed]

Too close to Typhoo tea bags. Full of holes and leaks etc.

[beano500]

...or as in the tea.

"ooo it's the perforations in the grill that let the flavour flood out..."

It'll have to be the TVR -Me-That's-Fast


Edited to add: -me-Ted's-fast-today.....

Definitely a good move going back to names if it is true. Names are so much more evocative and easier for those not so familiar with the marque to grasp.

But that's too logical, and TVR don't use logic...

Being Greek and keeping with tradition, how about calling it HYDRA, relatives of CERBERUS and CHIMAERA and the offspring of TYPHON?? Must admit though, HYDRA doesn't sound mean enough for this beast.

Anyway, whatever they call it, It will be known as MY NEW MOTOR

[JakeR]

How about TVR Triton? Origins in Greek mythology etc... was a bit of a scary monster...

[RichB]

Mate of mine had a TRITON motorbike it was a Triumph Bonoville 650 engine in a Norton Featherbed frame. Wonderfull piece of kit! Rich...

They could always use the Giffith name again, afterall it is not in use at the moment.
