6 June 2017

At the upcoming festival of speed at Goodwood will show a new model of the revived brand TVR

The company TVR has announced that it will present to the public its new model of 8 September this year at the festival of vintage cars at Goodwood. In fact, at the Goodwood Revival will be shown many models of the brand previous years and this is due to the 70th anniversary of the TVR. The last 20-30 years has been difficult for the British automaker and several changes of owners, among whom were even Russian businessman Nikolai Smolensky, and back-breaking burden of the struggle in the market with entire companies were forced to close production in 2012.

But times change, many begin to "get bored" regulars catwalks and photo shoots. The soul that always requires something unusual and extraordinary. Such has always been the model of the British firm TVR – honest, tough, uncompromising and different from their competitors. To cope with the management of some of the models required considerable skill and experience. In fairness it should be noted that the styling of the former models from TVR was that is called, on the fan, but they have always stood out among other sports cars.

About the upcoming premiere is little known. Promise that a model weighing up to 1200 kg will be capable to disperse up to 300 km/h and accelerate to 100 km/h in 4 seconds. Specifically about engine power does not say, pointing to the power of the car that will make 400 HP/tonne. Said that will use of the company Cosworth V8 volume of 5.0 L. New TVR car will appear in the building of the "Earls Court" and will be installed in the center of the exhibition, which will present some archival footage dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the British brand.

Speaking about the planned public launch of the model, the TVR Chairman Les Edgar said: "We are very excited to present the new car at Goodwood Revival. This is the first time to the festival at Goodwood has announced a global launch of a new car. We believe this is the right place, given the history of the brand associated with the sport. After a series of private screenings of the model, organized in the interests of potential customers, we are confident that we are on the right track and now we look forward to September and the reaction of the General public".

Yet TVR has published photos with the exhaust pipe directly in a "skirt" of the body. Interestingly, even this meager the is not devoid of grace – just look at yourself chrome pipe, treated inside. Not to say that in the few bends in the photo you can fall in love, but the fact that they are reluctant to focus and study, says that with great probability to the guys from Gordon Murray Design have managed to create something unusual, for which you can have patience.

Will be released only 500 models of the Launch Edition to the first clients. TVR will soon stop taking orders before the premiere of the car is 8 September 2017. The presumable name of the new model – TVR Griffith.
