TVR

TVR has confirmed it'll be 2020 before the hotly-anticipated Griffith enters production, as European Union rules around factory construction take their toll. After targeting a 2017 on-sale date, the car's delivery date was pushed back to 2019. TVR Heritage Director, Paul Thompson, has confirmed to AutoRAI a market launch during 2020 is now on the cards. "It takes more time than we expected to start production, thanks to the rules of the European Union," Thompson said.

TVR will continue its return to relevance in the 2018-19 World Endurance Championship, teaming up with the veteran Rebellion Racing team. The pairing will be racing in the Le Mans Prototype 1 (LMP1) class, meaning Toyota won't be racing itself after Audi and Porsche left the once-hotly contested segment.

The upcoming sports car from reborn British company TVR has been teased again, ahead of its reveal at this year's Goodwood Revival event in September. Scheduled to be unveiled on September 8, the new TVR will be displayed alongside a range of historic models from the British sports car firm, who is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. The teaser image (top) depicts a side-mounted exhaust outlet - hinting at the new vehicle's performance intentions.

Defunct sports car brand TVR is set to make comeback, with the first model believed to be ready in two years time. Computer game millionaire and ex-Aston Martin racer Les Edgar has led a group of like-minded investors and car enthusiasts to buy TVR’s name, design rights and assets, and he now asserts that a new TVR model will be built, confirming rumours reported on CarAdvice last month that TVR will be revived.

Dormant British sports car manufacturer TVR is hopeful of making a triumphant return to the automotive world with a German-built, Corvette-powered roadster, according to UK website Autocar. Although a deal is yet to be finalised between TVR and Gullwing – the company that manufactures the descendant of the AC Cobra, the MkVI – the word from TVR’s Russian owner, Nikolai Smolenski, is that it’s a matter of when rather than if.
