New TVR: some footsteps of ancient projects

There’s some interest around a “new” Lancia Stratos is currently being built in Italy at Pininfarina plant. This car is the heir of the Stratos prototype we seen at Geneve Auto Show in 2005 which was built by Fenomenon Holistic Design, actual owner of the name “Stratos”.

I had a trip on Fenomenon Holistic Design homepage and found an interesting stuff. The site isn’t updated since 2006 so It’s quite sure the subject is old. Maybe Nikolai Smolenski, at the time, was thinking about a new car so he commissioned some new ideas to the firm. And a new prototype (even if it’s only a draw) was created.

THE NEW TVR: is it in existance or not?
We all TVR enthusiasts were very disappointed by the joke Smolenki played on us at Goodwood: we read surely the new car would have been introduced there. But this time we didn’t see a sole wheel of the mythical new car. Many people expected this attitude. In July 2008 the world saw at least a TVR Sagaris.

Now: how’s the situation? Many voices are in the air. A prototype seems to exist and it resembles the TVR Sagaris. Many ex-TVR workers are enaged in this business. I heardt also that Smolenski is trying to bring the whole production on the British land to preserve the identity of the marque. This could be really a good new: we read that the TVRs would have come to a new existance in Germany, surely a bad decision for such a brand.
