GT7 Transcripts/TVR Tuscan Speed 6 '00

A unique coupé that brings a classic sportscar drive feel to the present.
The TVR, taking on a part of Trevor Wilkinson's name as a part of the company name, started business as one of many specialist car manufacturers in the UK. Their first production car, the Grantura, debuted in 1958. Even back then, an FRP body with a characteristic styling was combined with production car components, from cars like VW and Austin Healey, to produce high driving performance in the TVR style.
The Tuscan, sold in 2000, was a revival of a sportscar bloodline of the same name, a model that wreaked havoc on circuits in the 1960s.
The 2-door, 2-seater coupé with unique styling utilises many curved surfaces, and bears little resemblance to the 1st generation model. It is still one of the most aggressive styles in the world.
Because of this seductive styling, the body size seems fairly large, but in reality it is fairly compact at 4,235 mm long, 1,810 mm wide, and 1,200 mm wide. The wheelbase is also short, at 2,361 mm.
The engine is a 4 L DOHC 6-cylinder engine, developed in-house. The name 'Speed 6' comes from this 6-cylinder engine. It boasts a dry-sump lubrication system with an oil cooler, and an inline-6 throttle body to control intake air, built to a level on par with racing engines.
Power output is 359 BHP, with a maximum torque of 42.86 kgfm, and accelerates the lightweight 1,100 kg body violently forward.
It is far from being a modern car in many respects, but it is a car in which you can enjoy the very fundamental joys of driving a raw, unadulterated sportscar.
