200mph+ Cossy and some TVRs at Bruntingthorpe. *VIDEO ADDED*
 
well, as some one here know, I know someone who has modified a fiesta to put out 600bhp, and run a proved 178mph. Well, this is his mates project:

The car is running 614Bhp with 508ft/lb of Torque
Then the TVR boys turned up:

In Germany there is a Opel Corsa (or Vauxhall Nova if i´m not wrong) that also got a 600hp engine. It even has an own website that i visited awhile ago but forget the URL now :oops:

Whats the top speed of that orange tvr? probably 200+

The Orange TVR is the new Typhon. Going to cost around £80,000 and has a top speed of over 200mph

Was this any sort of particular event? Or was it just a 'show up and go' sort of thing? I can't imagine they'll just haul down the prototype TVRs to just hash them around the track just for kicks, would they?

Nice shots!

Bruntingthorpe is a well know proving ground. Loads of people use it to test cars, tuners and manufacturers alike. It was only by chance that TVR turned up at the same time.

thanks for the video, although ive no complaints about the TVR, i do prefer much more the sierra to be honest, once im a big fan of cosworth sportive fords such as the escort or the sierra............of course i love how the sierra looks(just a stock sierra with 17" wheels).....and the sound and sensations of the sierra must be stunning...(for instance thats why i like the 2 series of Getaway in Stockholm........due to the Escort Cosworth on the video).....anyway the sierra in question is a 4x4 version isnt it......the looks of the sierra is 100% of 4x4....

thanks for the pics....sorry...naturally

jon_s 09-18-2004 02:40 PM

LOL, was woundering where the vid was! hehe

As for the Typhon, it is a supercharged straight 6. TVR are aiming for 500bhp. They have also developed a 6 speed sequential gear box.

TVR's have a very unique beauty, that older car is amazing, 200mph you got to be kidding me!

m3mys3lf4ndi 09-25-2004 06:35 PM
