The British sports car maker, TVR, unveiled its eagerly awaited new sports car to the public at the Goodwood Revival (8–10 September, 2017). Created in conjunction with Gordon Murray Design, the 1200 kg car promises incredible 200mph performance and 0–60mph in less than 4 seconds. With the special launch edition car being offered at under £90,000, anticipation and demand for the 400BHP per tonne, five-litre, Cosworth developed V8-powered car is already at fever-pitch.
The new car went on display in the ‘Earls Court’ building at the Revival, and was showcased at the centre of a display which features a number of older, heritage TVRs, in celebration of the British marque’s 70th anniversary.
Speaking of the planned public launch, Les Edgar, chairman of TVR, said: “We are incredibly excited to be unveiling the new car at the Goodwood Revival. It’s the first time a global launch of a new car has occurred at the event, and it seems an entirely appropriate place for us to do it, with the marque’s motorsport heritage and an enthusiastic audience of dedicated car fans – and in our 70th anniversary year. After a series of secret private viewings organised for the benefit of existing customers for the new car, we know that we have a surefire hit on our hands, and very much look forward to seeing the public reaction in September.”
Gordon Murray Design‘s unique iStream process, in addition to being extremely lightweight, delivers exceptional torsional rigidity and passive safety capabilities. The vehicle’s carbon fiber composite construction boasts a rigidity of almost 20,000 Nm per degree and is also designed to direct impact forces to the tires for increased safety. The new car also features airbags, ABS and ESP.
