The Tuscan R is the same as the T440 I think.

It has 440bhp and it also has a carbon body.

It will cost about £70k in the UK.

Should kick the F360M's ass.

EVO took a prototype to Le Mans and had fun cornering at 170 mph because they were crawling at 110 and a F355 flew past.

It's gonna be a lovely car, and it might be entered into Le Mans sometime soon.
 
i sorta like the front end but ahhhhhhhhhhhhh british it burns my eyes ahhhhhhh
yuck.gif

though still not bad but ahhh my eyes!
 
That car is a travesty! A friend told me that the people in the TVR design department spent all day throwing modelling clay at each other. Seems as though all the clay that was randomly chucked around combined together to make this car! Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible adn one more horrible for luck!

Purely my opinion you understand ;)

The Supercharged T440 is being sold in Britain too soon.

TVR blokey on stand said power was 500bhp, but 600 was possible.

Spring of this year, and costs £79,995

My god TVR are on form. 400 bhp in a carbon fibre body, for under 50K. I would like 5 please :D .

Knowing TVR you'd need that many to cover the ones that were in the repair shop! :D

My friend's Griffith 500 decided to dump water in the cockpit at 90 mph on the motorway :eek:

David Yu's F355 Ferrari (see EVO if you don't know who he is) dumped coolant in the luggage area at 180mph. :embarrassed:

Didn't blow up though. :D

'Coolant'. That's the word I was searching for. David Yu, if I recall, is the guy with the black Berlinetta, right? I'd rather have the coolant on my Samsonite's than on my throttle, clutch and brake pedals! :lol:

Think they maybe a design fature, as it doesn't mention anything about closing intakes.

FYI Top Gear (the magazine) says that the flaps on the bonnet and the 'gills' on the front wings are actully to release high pressure from the engine bay and the wheelarches thus helping to reduce front end lift.

Neat. They really are speed holes. ;)

Assuming you don't know this by now...

Yeah but he's selling it.

He had a R32 Skyline called Godzilla with 650+bhp but he found that the Ferrari was more reliable.:lol:

Well which 650ps modified car is reliable? Nissan vs Ferrari in reliability? Hmmm, I wonder who would come out on top? :rolleyes: I know which maintenance bills my bank account would prefer! ;)
 
Apparently when i saw the Sagaris at a TVR garage the bloke there said that it would be running the Supercharged Straight 6, so it shud be 500bhp.

It is also going to be raced in its own class like the tuscan racers.
