I have been quite generous with TVR styling, but have they gone 1 too far this time??

Me thinks that this is a race car not a production car.

I like it, very original, nice overall lines, and very impressive drivetrain. Theres a few little details I dont like but not enough to turn me off from the car.

In the words of the immortal Mr. Horse - No Sir, I don't like it.

As I wrote earlier in another thread:
she really rocks me off my feet 8)
No Ferrari, Lambo, Porker, Maser or Aston for me but a TVR Sagaris
So Santa: please

I don't like it. The vents all over the bonnet, that weird perspex screen on the rear, the exhaust sticking out sideways and that hideous diffusor at the rear totally ruin its looks. I like the T350C much better.

The way TVR went with its designs is something I totally disagree with. The Tuscans aren't my favorites either. The best looking TVR to date is still the Griffith IMO. Close second and third are the Cerbera and the classic Griffith. TVR should go back to more clean and simple lines instead littering their cars with this misplaced futuristic details.

In an off way, with the added grilling on the hood, it's like they skinned a large shark, and shoved a TVR frame in it

It doesn't strike me as well as, say, a Tuscan R/S does. Maybe a bit more radical than I'm used to seeing from TVR, with their normally clean lines. Might take a while for me to get to like the shape.

Saw it at MPH 03 yesterday, loooks fantastic in real life!!! Its one of those marmite things aint it, u either love it or loath it!!!! I agree with the fact that the rear diffuser looks a but out of place, and the rear wing looks different in perspex, but thats what tvr are all about! Being different! Cant wait to see and hear a racing GT version, if they replace the tuscan with it!
