TVR will officially return with an all-new sports car at the Goodwood Revival and this is the final teaser image. The new two-seater GT model will be powered by a Cosworth version of Ford’s 5.0-liter V8 found in the Mustang mated to a six-speed Tremec manual transmission. Power is expected to be around the 480-hp mark, with TVR having set the target power-to-weight ratio for the new model at 400hp per tonne. Dry weight is expected to be less than 1,250kg (2,755lbs). The lightweight construction -which employs Gordon Murray’s iStream process- in combination with the V8 will give the new TVR some serious performance, with reports suggesting a 0-60mph in less than four seconds and a 200mph top speed. TVR has already opened the pre-order books for a special ‘Launch’ edition of their new car, which will cost under £90,000 ($117k in current exchange rates). Marking the company’s 70th anniversary, the new TVR model will make its global debut this Friday. Carscoops

1947 was a big year in the automotive industry. With the Second World War over and thankfully done with, the world returned to industry, seeing among others the establishment not only of Ferrari but also Saab, Hyundai... and TVR. Now 70 years later, the resurgent British sportscar manufacturer is preparing to unveil its first new model at the Goodwood Revival next month. “On the 70th birthday of our marque,” said TVR chairman Les Edgar, “we are entering a new era with a precisely engineered car that delivers exhilarating performance on road and track, as well as everything discerning customers expect of a car intended for everyday use." The debut model of the revived automaker (codenamed T37 but tipped to rekindle the Griffith nameplate) has been designed by the legendary Gordon Murray – the same talent responsible for the McLaren F1, among others. It's to be powered by a 5.0-liter V8 based on the Ford Coyote block and developed by Cosworth to the tune of 450-500 ho...

British carmaker TVR announced that it will unveil their all-new model at the Goodwood Revival on September 8. The new 200mph sports car, created in conjunction with Gordon Murray Design, will sprint from zero to 60mph in less than 4 seconds and tip the scales at around 1,200kg. Together with the announcement, TVR released another teaser image of the new model, showing one of the car's exhaust pipes sitting behind the front wheel. Power will come from a Cosworth-developed 5.0-litre V8 engine, giving the new TVR a 400bhp per tonne power-to-weight ratio. TVR isn’t revealing the final performance figures of the engine just yet, but it’s safe to expect around 480hp. The new TVR will be based on a tubular structure that features bonded-in carbon fiber panels, a recipe coming from Murray’s iStream Carbon design. This will be the first time the Goodwood Revival will host the launch of a brand-new model. TVR is planning to build 500 Launch Edition examples priced at under £90k...
