The new TVR will be on the market in 2017. First few enthusiasts will enjoy an limited-run of models built around an inventive all–carbon architecture. These Launch Edition’ cars will be built around a carbonfibre chassis, designed with help from McLaren F1’s father Gordon Murray. He will put together his innovative ‘iStream’ manufacturing system and will be clothed in carbonfibre bodywork.
Following this very special limited series the “normal” production run will use an aluminium chassis and bodywork made from fibreglass. But the carbon tub and carbon panels will still be available as an option at extra cost.
TVR’s chairman Les Edgar said: “Historically, carbonfibre has been reserved for motorsport and high-end supercars, but now TVR will be offering customers a slice of that technology at a fraction of the price. The carbon manufacturing process really is a game changer, and one I’m delighted to offer to all of our early adopter Launch Edition customers within the package cost“.
