It is about TVR’s, it’s the umpteenth resurrection of the once great individualistic brand. Is it about brute TVR’s, it’s crazy (Cerbera) Speed 12. But just this T440R also certainly not.

On the eye ‘just’ a Tuscan, but with over 440 hp under the carbon fiber hood, this is a car that you but better and with respect, not respectful. The top speed would not be less than 345 km/h amounts, though it is generally known that the boys from Blackpool here and there ever goochelden with the performance metrics. In addition, there are few people whose balls are big enough to unleash the full potential of a car like this T440R test.

Responsible for all of that power is, of course, the in-house developed six-in-line, for the opportunity opgeboord to a festive 4.200 cc. Rpm make can be up to 8,000 rpm and the torque is 475 Nm @ 6,000 rpm. With such figures went the T440R from 0-100 km/h in 3,9 count. Not bad, for such a lightweight cart that is not necessarily built with the most sophisticated techniques.

In addition to a completely re-designed chassis was the T440R a set of adjustable dampers and, if desired, a few larger brake discs in combination with larger brake calipers (six pistons each). In addition, played the aerodynamics a large role in the heart-pounding performance of the Tuscan R, as this car also known. A new splitter, flat bottom and a diffuser made for a Cw-value of only 0,32.

The interior is like we were used to with TVR is a true cabinet of curiosities was full of crazy buttons, and separate solutions for problems you didn’t even know they existed. But hey, it made a TVR a TVR.
