Nice to see they've stuck with the TVR oddball hidden door releases!
Who's engine has been 'Cosworthed'? Ford Coyote? I thought the Cosworth brand died once Pro Drive bought them?

Cosworth are alive and well up the road from me, they've been tuning gt86s, Ford Mustang engines and making stuff for other people, there's talk of them going back to F1 in 2021 as well.
The TVR, hmm, I'm disappointed, the back is lovey, the side is meh, the front is pure Toyota, it also doesn't suit red, a funky purple metallic flip or metallic sparkle orange or something would be more inkeeping. In any case, I'm sure it'll be a monster out in the wild

Nice i like it. Pretty sure it'll be available in some flip colours and will sound lovely.
"Unlike any of its rivals, however, the Griffith is based around a carbon composite structure and weighs less than 1,250kg." Thats 200kg more that the old one made out of steel tubes and ford mondeo's

I Love it but then I am biased I have a 98 Chimaera 450 sat in the garage
Just about to decat her and fit a custom made stainless Y piece downpipe to increase the racket she makes. Good luck to them we have lost far too many car manufacturers in the UK and we need TVR back If it goes to production with those side exhaust exits it should make an incredible noise imagine that with the window down at full chat  Hope they do a rag top version
