Exhausting process

It’s been over 10 years since the last TVR model was introduced to the world, and the development team has clearly used that time to create something worthy of a grand celebration. Although the overall design has been kept secret, aside from a few company-released development sketches, it’s been revealed that the new 1,200kg car has been created in conjunction with Gordon Murray Design and features a 5.0-litre, Cosworth-developed, V8-powered engine, creating such performance figures as 400bhp, a top speed of 200mph, and a 0–60mph time of less than four seconds. Set to go on display in the Earls Court building at Goodwood Revival from 8 to 10 September, alongside a number of classic models in celebration of the marque’s 70th anniversary, the new model will see just 500 Launch Editions go into production, offered at a retail price of under 90,000 GBP — now, that’s what we’d call a British bargain.
