TVR's New Convertible Designed With U.S. Sales in Mind


The TVR Tuscan 2 convertible

Date Posted 06-29-2005

GOODWOOD, England ? The first fruits of TVR's Russian backing debuted last weekend ? the dramatic Tuscan 2 Convertible made an appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The drop top has undergone a series of changes since it was first shown as a concept at last year's British Motor Show, including a restyled interior and a new dashboard. British sports carmaker TVR, which was bought last year by Russian entrepreneur Nicolai Smolensky, claims it has designed the interior with ease of conversion to left-hand drive as a key consideration, as the company plans to expand into Europe and America.

The fabric roof design is similar to that of other TVR models, the Griffith and the Chimera, with a removable central panel and soft fold-down rear portion. TVR also says it has set up the suspension geometry for comfort, although it is obviously still sporting. Both the Tuscan and Tuscan S have straight-six engines: 350-hp 3.6-liter and 406-hp 4.0-liter, respectively.

TVR is one of the three companies bidding to buy the MG brand from the ashes of Rover; if it succeeds, it could relocate all TVR production to the MG site in Birmingham.

What this means to you: TVR has never had the budget to bring its grunt 'n grind sports cars to the U.S. ? but with serious financial backing, that could change in the future.

I sure hope TVR would bring their cars to America....they are beautiful cars, and I hate seeing Europe only getting these cars.

I think I saw a TVR Tuscan whilst (love that word) in England!  :o    (not sure, though, because it was from a distance, but it was for sure a TVR)
