Tuscan for me... unless you can get it in the chameleon colours of the Tuscan

[illusionest]

tuscan for me too! ^^
i like the tuscan's design,.
that one other is messed up.

edit: sweet jesus, those fog lights r HUGE

I believe the Feroce is availible in Pearlescents.

Wow, I have a hard time here. The Feroce has a sorta ricey or overdone attitude, and the Tuscan looks...unfinished. I'll take whichever one I can sell for more money and get what I really want.

I prefer the svelter Tuscan.

"Unfinished" is a strange description, any more idea as to what you consider to be its weak points?

The Tuscan is one of the few cars I actually want to own.
A Mk 1 'S' is definately on my "to buy" list, alongside a T350, a Typhon, a Cerbera RR, a Griffith 500...

Of course the Tuscan is dead in that incarnation, the first Tuscan 2s have been delivered. They don't look quite as nice, with revised lights front and back, and the front bonnet profile has been inverted.

The Feroce is based on the Subaru Impreza with the transmission and AWD systems mated to a flat 8 IIRC
The actual production car looks a lot better.




They though that the prototype had been stolen, but it transpired that it had merely been clamped and impounded.


You can get any car in a chameleon colour if you really want, although a TVR is one of the few cars upon which it will look any good.

I love the looks of the Tuscan, anyone have the specs on it?

Lack of bumpers is one thing that stands out to me the most, also the tiny taillights and shaved doorhandles give off that pre-production concept look. It's different, which in and of itself is a plus, but I have never been a fan of the bumperless look.

[McLareN]

Tuscan all the way

See what the insane American regs have done to you.
What do you need bumpers for, the whole body is fibreglass so it just deforms under light impacts instead of denting.

Also it doesn't need doorhandles, as the doors operate using an ancient and mysterious Pagan magic.

Anything that they can build themselves they do, probably making them unique amongst low volume car makers (500 of each model).
They even made their own lights because no one made them the rights size or something similarly bizzare.
The interior is similarly bespoke, no Ford parts bin rejects in here.

Slipppery when wet.

American cars had bumpers before any regs...

I'll give you the other points though. I like the back to basics approach. Lets put it this way, with some custom work on the Tuscan, I'd choose it.
