Drop top TVR's - look americans

[Mustang]

The next step in TVR’s Russian revolution arrives this summer, with the launch of the dramatic Tuscan 2 Convertible.

These are the first official pictures to be released by the factory, with views of the car with its canvas top up and down. The drop-top has undergone a series of changes since it was first revealed at last year’s British Motor Show, the most noticeable of which is a new dashboard. TVR also says it has set up the suspension geometry for comfort, although it is obviously still sporting. The fabric roof design apes that of the Griffith and the Chimera, with a removable central panel and soft fold-down rear portion.

Both the Tuscan and Tuscan S get straight-six engines: 350bhp 3.6- and 406bhp 4.0-litre units respectively. Prices are £2000 more than those of the car’s Targa sibling already on sale, which means £41,950 for the Tuscan Convertible and £51,995 for the S version.

TVR claims it has designed the interior with ease of conversion to left-hand drive as a key consideration, as the company looks to expand into Europe and America.

i think that's not the best idea - for me tvrs were always spartan and very fast british coupes, now they're going to change their image to something more like comfortable sportcar for the rich guy

I dont think its a bad idea atall,and looks great, that engine will be even more orgasmic without the roof up.I mean, afterall it isnt the first tvr convertible. Remember these?:

so why the fvck don't they import them to australia? we're rhd over here for christs sake noble and marcos send their cars here, why not tvr?

[whiteballz]

i agree clutch! i want TVR over here

[clutch-monkey]

well for 100k its better than driving a porsche boxtser, i think they'd be able to get quite a few customers here

[whiteballz]

lets open a store then sell TVR's and ADC one off customs

TVR would be sweet to have in australia, i KNOW sydney would buy some, so many porsche's ferraris etc.

[clutch-monkey]

they'd scare the crap out of some yuppies used to boxters but i know the guy at the mount cotton driver training centre would buy one, he loves those kind of cars, i always see him driving his GT3 RS around

I agree, it seems to ride too high.

[whiteballz]

maybe coz its abit rougher roads over there, though from what i have heard american roads arent too great themselves.

[Spastik_Roach]

Well TVR's arn't allowed in NZ anymore, they don't meet the regulations, and since Aussie has touger rules, I doubt they'll be allowed there either...

[Sagaris]

my dads friends had one on order since last summer. he should be getting it soon

They'll need a new engine first.

That example is on "factory" suspension which is used when they want to wheel the chassis in-build about the factory.

It'll be given a proper suspension set up once it is ready for delivery.
