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  ops:

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....

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!
