    TVR V8 that didnt make it...

    http://www.pistonheads.com/features/...?storyId=10750
    Anyone heard about this? Reason I post, is because I havent. Never heard of a new V8 TVR...but it could be a killer if one makes it to production..which I see as inevitable.

    It was to be a development of the S-Series, but development went into the Chimaera and Griffith instead.

    They are bloody fast those Tuscans.

    This barely street-legal Tuscan is a little too track worthy for my taste. I prefer the Tuscan Speed Six.

    Tuscan Speed 6 and this Tuscan are completley different apart from the name. Its like comparing an original Corvette to a C6 except the differences are even greater... different eras, generally little in common with each other.

    Yes, this is common with V8 TVRs, the engine is mounted so far back in the enginebay (behind the front axle) that the exhausts have to go forwards to clear the engine. My Chimaera is the same although not as extreme as this Tuscan.
