Default When car makers go to far: TVR







I'd say that last picture is the only one where the car appealed to me. If I had to sum it up I regretfully would say: "Factory Rice". I can only hope it has the muscle to back all that crap up. I mean how many friggin dodads on the hood does it need? It has heat extractors on the fenders and then hatches/ports on the hood that would make the Shelby Series 1 jelous.

If the hood just had the extractor in the middle, or over the fenders i'd think it'd be much more appealing. But that exhaust has to go. It looks like its toatin something back there instead of exhaust. Overall, its not a bad package and I agree, it better have the muscle cause that is fugly.

It looks like it has gills, some sort of fish. Hey, do fish eat rice? Or do they just go good with a side of rice?

TVR has always made cars that don't look like they belong......but they grow on you in the end, plus it always helps when they are an exotic car.

The exhaust resembles two tampons sticking out of someone's *** horizontally....
The tail lights....Uggh. I think whoever designed the car just sorta went a little too far there.

I like the extreme look it has, and I know it will be fast because it's a TVR.

i like the top one's color. close off some of those gashes in the fenders and hood, point the exhaust out the back, and i might drive it.

i like that spoiler! i like the mounts it has and you can see straight thru the bitch when you look in the rear view mirror!

that is the TVR Sagaris, it is 2513lbs, 400hp, 333tq n/a I6.
not quite supercar power, but because of the superlight weight, its would probably smoke many cars with 50% more power.

now the TVR Speed12 had muscle........it was 2358lbs, 800hp, 650tq n/a V12.
