TVR back tomorrow!

[AMT]

Looking forward to seeing it! I don't think it will be stupidly wild, from the pics and profiles I keep seeing it looks like a smooth looking bugger but it should still be a good one!

 

 

[Ekona]

I'm expecting generic supercar looks, and a naff interior. TVR should've been left to die and the wonderful memories they gave us. 

 

For me, £100k+ isn't a TVR. 

[DoogyRev]

As much as I agree with you Dan . . . I hope that is a looker and does not break down every 10km 

[AMT]

Oh Boo you rotter you lol I didn't realise it was gonna be that much though! How much power is this thing meant to have?

MB called, they want the front of the AMG-GT back.

One of my friends has his deposit down

Looking good

That is ugly as sin. It's just drooping everywhere, like it's been melted. I expected bland, I didn't expect ugly. And no way in a billion years is that a £90K interior. And yes, it does matter, especially at this price level.

 

And EPAS? Really? Only two manufacturers (Ferrari & Porsche) have managed to get a decent feel from EPAS right now, and they've had a budget just for that that I'm sure could have built this car twice over. Maybe they've got it right first time, but I remain sceptical.

 

Side exits are cool though. And of course it'll sound good. But that is an absolute waste of the TVR name, and doubly the Griffith one.

[Ekona]

Oh, and as spotted by a guy on PH, here's the official launch pics. Check out pic 3, that's some really classy colour matching on that door right there...

Good god Dan... you really are up for TVR coming back eh haha. As much as it pains me I expected a bit better also. I like the rear.. it has to be modern..it was going to be. The front though, maybe I didnt look at the shadow pics enough but in those pics its a bit stumpy and too sharp edged with shapes. Humm... I'll wait to see better pics. Hopefully it still goes and sounds ridiculous as all TVRs were. Theyve not always been the best at styling theres always been something a bit off with some design bits but thats just how they were.. this is just a modern representation ..I guess lol

A modern TVR should be the perfect car for me. Light, V8, manual 'box, FR layout: In theory I should want nothing more than one of these.

 

But not when it looks as gopping as that.

A real shame, but the lines just don't work. The headlights just look wrong.

looks like a lexus lc500 and amg gt got on it in the stationary cupboard

[StevoD]

not sure if I'm surprised or disappointed to see it got the coyote from the Mustang 

 

Edit: looks like a few bits of switch gear and trim are from the ford parts bin

Any sort of credibility has been lost already, Shmee150 has bought one.

Just finished watching Shmee, he's such a dullard and his over zealous "what expensive car can I buy next!"

 

still, yes it looks @*!# that's for sure. I don't mind the back end apart from the F type spoiler (which I hate on the F as well). Diffuser is too high. Side isn't bad if you block out the front. Lights front bumper and the swoops are flipping horrendous! 

 

Interior isnt bad, but it's not good either.  Would be interested to see what torque this 5 litre puts down. 

 

In summary they have totally and utterly ruined what was TVR. They should never have called it a Griffith.  They have lost my vote completely.

yeah seen a few vids on it now.  The rest of it is actually not bad its the headlights they just don't work, bet if it was simply a different design or sleaker lights it'd be fine. The seem to make or break the car...and in this case...break lol

[ATTAK Z]

@rse end's a bit iffy ...
