    Tvr T350

    sorry if this is old news, but I have never seen this car until yesterday when i drove past one sitting in traffic and nearly wiped myself out rubbernecking to figure out what it was!

    OMG is there a more stunning car in the world? at least, one with a more innovative back-end?

    a few pics ive seen have it floating off the very bottom of the front of the car - must be a few hidden mounting posts on the publicity pics.

    ps reading up on the TVR website the car is totally designed for aerodynamicity - over the car, and with a F1 style diffuser underneath to suck the car to the road - Enzo Ferrari style

    Mmmm, TVRs, probably the best looking cars around (especially Tuscans)

    looks less aerodynamic when they put the numberplate on it :

    Lovely cars, would certainly be owning something special to get one of them. How much is a 'T350??'

    EDIT: 40k, seen

    The 440R is the fastest road legal TVR, its basically a Tuscan chassis with a 400bhp engine in it

    The fastest once legal TVr was the Speed 12, which was a modiffied Tuscan chassis but this time with a 6l V12 in it

    Plus it was basically a stripped out road legal race car, but after some debate the DVLA made it illegal. I think the 0-60 was around 3 seconds, and 0-100 was about 5seconds. Probably why it was illegal

    440bhp, hence the name

    The Speed 12 was actually a Cerbera, and certainly isn't illegal, it was just a limited production run for the GT2 race series (it had to build 25 to compete in the class).

    Mmmmm nice cars - I was always a fan of the Griffith500... but loving the look of the T350

    Only problem with a TVR is having to afford the massive price tag, but also be able to buy another car for the 300+ days of the year that the TVR won't start/is being fixed Still very nice cars though

    I thought they were made street illegal after the race series due to some problem about safety?
