The iconic British car brand, TVR, has today announced that it will return to the market with an all-new British designed and built sports car. The company, which boasts an outstanding new management team, has developed the new car in collaboration with Gordon Murray Design and Cosworth, each providing much of the core design and engineering capability for the all-new TVR. This incredible project is already well advanced with over a year of development completed so far.

Front engine with rear wheel drive and a manual transmission, powered by a normally aspirated, dry-sumped, V8 engine, developed and engineered by Cosworth.

Looking forward to the end result. Always had a huge soft spot for TVR. One day I will own a Cerbera RR.

Side profile of their supposed new motor (which looks suspiciously like an autocar photoshop) looks great.

Always loved tvr's, even if they do supposedly smell of canoe's.

Absolutely Jim The perfect combination of lightweight she'll, great big engine and little to no safety precautions makes it a wonderfully terrifying combo

They are so unreliable and so dangerous and so badly put together.

But anything that looks and sounds like that^^^ simply cannot be all bad.

I need one. I've needed one for the thick end twenty years too

The real reliability kicker is how many are rotten underneath because of the chassis they were specced with from new.

Who in their right mind would order a brand new Cerb and not pay that bit extra for the galvanised chassis option?

It's utter madness but so many of them are just the mild steel variant.
