I test drove the new 'Takara' 5ltr supercharged
upgrade on a 'N' plate chim today at TVR Power.
Fitted with the new 18" back and 17" front alloys this car looks the dogs. I have owned a red rose tuscan, a tamora and a T350 and this car is faster than any of them.
Good move by TVR,big slap on the back,booked mine in this week. Any Warwickshire owners out there can see it at the meeting at the Bear 2moz.

Im meeting the chap at our club meeting 2moz and he will be bringing me a quote. Im going from 4ltr to 5ltr Supercharged with new 18" wheels and tuscan interior,so ill keep you posted on the break down of costs.
This car was awesome much quicker than my old Tuscan and the new 18" wheels kept it firmly grounded.

The fastest TVR award must go to the Sagaris or Typhon surely? A supercharged v8 sounds fantastic though, imagine all the torque!

Wonder if they could do a supercharge upgrade for a 4.0?

TVR power have details of the Taraka on their website.
Doesn't mention anything about supercharging (that I could see anyway).
