TVR To Release The Typhoon

Despite major cuts in TVR’s budget and the downsizing of 300 staff earlier this year due to falling demand, the company is planning to expand its operations by building a run of 60 limited edition Typhoons. Further, owner Nikolai Smolenski commented in a Swiss publication that the company is determined to re-enter the Le Mans series with a possible new Cerbera that could debut at next year’s Geneva Motor Show.
The Typhoon which was developed during the reign of previous owner, Peter Wheeler, features a supercharged six-cylinder 4.0L engine developing 550hp and 550Nm of torque. With a curb weight of just 1,160kg, the Typhoon can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 320km/h. Final pricing has yet to be set

I really hope the Quality is up to the basic German Quality. TVR designs are really different, we need a car maker like that, which is still cheaper the most other cars with such power.

Someone put up some pictures or videos of the Sagaris. That thing makes the Viper look like a civic hybrid.

Yee, no kidding! I believe I watch a Top Gear episode that highlighted TVR. Those cars are mean! I love their scary styling. We need cars like this to choose from if we so fancy. Why the hell not? The cars are very daring and totally evil looking! They drive that way too! Awesome!

Oh yea, here is that episode!
