GT5 Transcripts/TVR Tamora '02

TVR's entry-level car, the daunting Chimaera, was a tough act to follow because of its widespread popularity. But TVR was up to the task, and produced the open-top Tamora.
Major mechanical components like the chassis and suspension were shared with the Tuscan coupe, but the Tamora exuded a very different air, characterized by a more classic-looking body style. This body style was defined by the Tamora's long nose, which made the Tamora seem larger than it actually was. In fact, the Tamora wasn't that much larger than the MX-5.
Housed under its hood was a 3605-cc DOHC inline-6 developed in-house. It was packed with innovative features like a dry-sump lubrication system, an electronically-controlled throttle, and a variable induction system. It produced 345 HP and 290.0 ft-lb of torque, making it equal in output to the company's heralded Cerbera Speed 6 power plant, a 4.0-liter inline-6. The gearbox was a 5-speed manual. The car was equipped with an integrated limited-slip differential, while 225/50ZR16 tires around 16-in. wheels provided grip. Those who wanted a bit more bling could opt for 18-in. alloys.
Thanks to the car's lean curb weight of about 1100 kg, the Tamora possessed world-class sports-car performance. It ran from zero to 62 mph in 4.4 seconds and reached a top speed of 174 mph.
Just like its styling suggested, the Tamora was a pure driver's car. It shunned high-tech gadgets such as ABS, traction control, and other aids, leaving the driver in complete control of the car.
