The quirky British brand was already a couple of times reanimated, but from those attempts we have after the announcement little more was heard. Now it seems serious, because no one less than McLaren F1-builder Gordon Murray is going to lend a hand.

If one brand is due to his stubbornness, at the bottom is gone, then the TVR. Motor had the manufacturer it is thick for each other, the Speed Six six-in-line was generally known as a brute of an engine. But with crazy gimmicks like buttons under the wing mirrors which allow the doors to open, it is not strange that the (car)world without you continuing. How unfortunate that is, because they were cool cars with a great sound.

Some ambitious plans later, we are now at the umpteenth attempt to TVR to breathe new life into. Zakenbaas Les Edgar has the rights a while ago over and takes it seriously. To cut a long story short: ten-year, four different models of which the first in 2017, design by Gordon Murray and a V8 Cosworth with 450+ hp. Sounds not bad!

For the production of the cars, then it will use Murray’s iStream concept. The engine in the front to lie in and drives through a manual gearbox to the rear wheels. Photos are unfortunately not available, but TVR promises that we have in the course of this year get a taste.
