Launch cars are £90,000. Future versions will be offered both cheaper and more expensive than that, so figure on a £75k starter.
Not in the present plans.

If I were TVR, I'd be waiting for someone to offer to import the cars. They know it looks fantastic and some wealthy car nut will want to do it. You can bet they have a
plan to do it, they just don't want to
fund it. If the US doesn't like the Cosworth version of the engine, they can simply go with the bog stock Coyote and/or Voodoo units.
The new Ford Coyote is a stonkingly good engine. And I'm not a FoMoCoMoFo, I'm talking numbers. It has a very good specific torque rating, as well as spinning up pretty high to make good specific power. I'd like to see the tweak list Cosworth did to get the Coyote base engine to rival the Voodoo lump. The engine is a great choice for the car, and signifies a return to sensible low-volume vehicle manufacture for TVR. The V8 and 6 engines may have been excellent, but they were also expensive and arguably the downfall of the company.
£75k is a little steep since it has such a cooking powerplant but the early adopters don't care and can pay £90k or £75k. If they can turf out a few thousand a year then the secondhand market will be buoyant.
I like this car. I can live with the quirks. Anyone who says it looks like the Z4 concept and actually knows me will be shocked by me saying that's not a terrible thing, but then I'd follow up with "which would you rather have" and "at least the TVR has some original design touches". Also, I would agree with those people who say it looks a bit like a Toyota FT-1... specifically, the way the rear light clusters fit. If the Toyota FT-1 was done properly and actually looked good instead of trying to unsuccessfully mate an Aston Zagato and an F1 car (by physically inserting the F1 car into exhaust pipes of the Zagato) it could have looked a lot more like this.
I see a tiny bit of Cerbera/Chimera DNA in the face. Like, second cousin.
Interior looks like it's trying to hide the simplicity too hard. I'm okay with that, I know how hard it is to design this stuff for manufacture with low tooling costs, and I suspect GM* had a lot of input early on constraining the design engineers.
I approve this product, good luck TVR.
