TVR made much of the fact that at the 1990 NEC Motor Show an order was taken every 8 minutes for their new Griffith . It’s a testament to both John Ravenscroft and Peter Wheeler who penned the design that it still looks as fresh and modern today as it did when first launched 30 years ago. The proven recipe of shoehorning a large capacity V8 into a TVR began some 30 years earlier when Jack Griffith chose to replace his Grantura’s 4 cylinder lump with a Ford 4.7 V8 – in doing so he not only ...

With its rigid steel backbone and lightweight design, the Lotus Elan typified Colin Chapmans engineering obsession and remained the basis for every Lotus model that followed over the next three decades. Intended as a more affordable replacement to the outgoing Elite, the Elan quickly proved itself as one of the most respected and rewarding sports cars of the 1960’s. So much so that when F1 design guru, Professor Gordon Murray was asked the question, ‘which car and which road?’, he did not ...

Launched in 1988 as a luxurious and sporting 2+2 Coupe, the Karif was powered by Maserati’s most powerful Bi-turbo 2.8 litre V6 engine producing 285bhp at 5,500rpm.

Based on the shortened chassis design of the Zagato-bodied Maserati Spyder, the Karif’s fixed notchback roof helped to increase torsional rigidity and ride quality while keeping the classic ‘3-Box’ ...

The proven formula of squeezing the largest and most powerful engine into the smallest possible space, has helped create some of the most exciting sports cars ever made. As such, the Aston Martin V12 Vantage is a perfect example of this tried and tested recipe. The idea of shoehorning Aston Martin’s mighty 6Lr. V12 engine into their smallest road going sports car, began as a simple design exercise to establish whether the ‘unlikely’ idea was even possible. Suggested and encouraged by the ...

The Chimaera remains without doubt the most popular model produced by TVR throughout their 73-year history. Intended as a more spacious and comfortable offering to the already established Griffith, the Chimaera came with more touring boot space, slightly less aggressive looks and a softer, more compliant ride compared to its more brutish sibling. As a very late model this Chimaera wants for nothing in terms of specification and includes the numerous updates and improvements that were made ...

As one of the very last examples to be built, these final few Cerberas were some of the most exciting road going TVR’s ever made. Technically termed 4.2 but featuring uprated Red Rose heads and 4.5 big ends, this was the ultimate development of TVR's first entirely new and ‘in-house’ engine, the superb AJP-V8.

As the first true sports car to be produced by Audi, the R8 won instant approval and high regard for both its performance and minimal styling at the time of launch in 2006. The permanent four wheel drive Quattro system was combined with light and rigid Audi Space Frame technology creating an aluminium chassis with carbon fibre centre tub. This hi-tech structure when matched to a mid-mounted and gloriously free-revving 5.2-litre V10 produced sublime levels of capability and handling. With over ...
