TVR is to launch a supercar at the Geneva motor show next spring.
It’ll be called the Typhoon, and will feature TVR’s all-aluminium Speed Six engine, supercharged to produced 600bhp. The carbon-fibre body ensures that it’ll be expensive, TVR spokesman Jason Oxley saying that, although a retail price has yet to be fixed, around ÂŁ120,000 “is about right”.
In terms of styling, Oxley said that he couldn’t describe what it’ll look like, except that it’ll be recognisable as a TVR. The Typhoon will feature TVR’s first outing with computer-aided design. “It’s a new method of design for us”, said Oxley.
He said that the company had already taken orders for the car and so, as the still-born Typhon project could have sold twice as many as were planned, he was confident of selling all 60 of the limited edition — the number celebrating TVR’s 60th birthday.
