Default A new challenger approaches

New TVR super coupé will have best power-to-weight ratio in segment


Thoughts? Haven't seen those three letters next to each other in a while

Not as well proportioned as the F-Type, but certainly reminiscent of previous designs.

I prefer the look of the F-Type to be honest. This one looks less aggressive.

Who knows, it may look better once it comes out, and I would not mind buying one.

Lines around windshield are off on this car - cockpit reminds me of Homer's car.

Me: Doc, I think I'm having problems with my hearing lately

Doc: Describe the symptoms

First reaction; I don't completely dislike it, but not stirred by it.

Second reaction; It appears to be a cross between a Mazda MX5 (front) and Nissan 370z (upper and back). I'm unsure if that is wrong or not.

It would be great if the car is a success. I've never driven a TVR but have a soft spot for the marque a little like I did for Jag before I became an owner.

But at 1200kgs including the V8 I'd guess the ride will be like a billy cart, so not for these old bones.

Proportions look off to me especially the front hood/grille section but may be quite stunning in real life.

I'm too young to understand.
