And could I blame them.

Later today, it may be revealed: the new TVR that the quirky brand back on the map. Everyone are the cars from Blackpool have never been. In terms of driveability, ergonomics, design; in terms of everything actually. It seems the above teaser image that they are somewhat more mainstream direction.

Sin? Mwoh. Brand values can nowadays be more likely to take a beating and the philosophy of TVR was clear about its expiration date. Otherwise the brand is not dead. We recognize by the way, plenty of other cars in the front of the cartoonish sports car above.

Take a whiff of the SRT Viper, a knife SLS AMG, a pinch of AMG GT and the “round-holes-grille” of the Tuscan Mk. 1. Voilà, your supercar is ready. Under the hood is reportedly a V8 Cosworth à 400 hp, with a car weight of around 1,200 kg. That promises beautiful things.

Incidentally interfere Gordon Murray is pretty intensive with the project. Thanks to his iStream production techniques, the weight of the final car remain low. That’s always good news.
