Autocar magazine created new images about the new TVR using official snippets of information and teasers to reveal what the model could look like in production guise.
Gordon Murray Design has also released a cutaway image of TVR’s performance model, revealing how its iStream Carbon-produced chassis is housed within the body.
So far almost 400 deposits have already been taken for the new car, whose name could revive the famous Griffith epopee
The car will use a Cosworth V8 that has been engineered to produce ample mid-range torque and more than 400 bhp. It’s expected to be capable of accelerating to 60mph in less than four seconds, and will be priced from about £65,000, though the launch car will be a special edition priced considerably higher than the regular car which follows; TVR owner Les Edgar says it will be “sub-£100,000”.
Two mules are being tested, with the latest representing a realistic weight for the car, which is set to be about 1150 kg. I will be built using Gordon Murray’s innovative carbonfibre manufacturing process called iStream Carbon.
