Nice car the color is great. I really don't like the interior of the tuscan.It doesn't reflect the good exterior looks.

its not all about which one gives u thebest speed for the cheapest price, cause if it was like that then Ferrari wouldnt be the most popular company in the world. Its the history, the emotions, the passion, the emblem, THE LOOKS!!! the sound!! and just the presence of the Ferrari that set it apart from anything else, and the prob with porsche, lol sure they look fast, but they dont look exotic.expensive unless ur talkin about the Carerra GT lol, i know porsche owners lol and they all say if they had the money they would get a Ferrari, cause porschaes are awesome cars, but Ferrari is Ferrari and its more then just a care, its a lifestyle and everything

Did you know at the NEC Birmingham Motor Show 2004 they had the TVR Tuscan 2 at it.

News and info on the TVR Tuscan 2 yay! (Got this news from 4 car!)

Motorshow: TVR's stand

TVR rarely fails to pitch up to a Birmingham show with a last-minute surprise on which the paint is barely dried, and this year was no exception. Not only has the Blackpool firm revised its brutal targa-topped Tuscan, it has also turned it into a full convertible. With twin rollover hoops bolted through to the chassis and a carbonfibre removable panel, it comes with the 350bhp Speed Six engine and is priced the same as the targa, at £39,750.

All the Tuscan models - targa, Convertible and S - have been revised for improved aerodynamics, and the team led by Graham Browne and Peter Wheeler have reduced drag and increased downforce on the Tuscan S (developed for 400bhp and 310lb ft) even further, adding a front splitter similar to that on last year's TVR Le Mans racers. All these models, and the closely related Tamora and T350/T350T, have received suspension revisions with modified geometry, castor and camber adjustments and repositioning of the steering rack; all now have the electro-hydraulic power steering system previously fitted only to the more user-friendly Tamora and T350 models. Ride has also been stiffened on the Tuscan S, which now has a similar suspension set-up to the no-compromises Sagaris.

TVR has done away with the combined analogue and digital dials, now fitting digital-only instruments for accurate readings. Besides the speedo, there is a digital rev counter with shift-lights, as in the race cars. Starter and stop buttons - last seen in the Cerbera - have made a comeback, too, and further new touches include door and window controls as in the Typhon, and thin, high-quality AFR audio speakers. The seats have been reshaped for improved lateral support, and seatbelt harnesses revised. Tuscan S models also have air conditioning, gas-discharge headlamps and digital radio.

TVR also showed the first two Sagaris models off the production line; these high-spec variants of the T350 coupe will go out to customers in July, and are intended to be as close to the Le Mans cars as possible with lowered ride height, lowered centre of gravity, huge exhaust cans, lighter-weight composite bodies and a full leather interior. They are priced from £49,995. The first of the new related racing versions will compete next season (2005) in the international GT series.

TVR continues to offer the T400 R (£74,995), T440 R (£79,995) alongside the recently announced supercharged Typhon (£84,995, delivering a phenomenal 585bhp and 467lb ft), as well as the "less extreme" and "more accessible" Tamora (£36,500, 350bhp and 290lb ft), revised for 2004 with modified front spotlights, repositioned taillights, enlarged cabin cubbyholes and body-coloured vents and diffuser. The Cerbera (from £41,000) remains in production as well in 4.2 V8, Speed Six and 4.5-litre 400bhp form, and for 2004, TVR is offering the 'Red Rose' conversion (£2350) which lifts the 4.5-litre engine to 440bhp and 390lb ft.

are the Typhon/T440R/T400R models going to recieve the facelift that the regular Tuscan and Tuscan S got? or are they going to continue with the "older" styling. I just now found out about the typhon, holy shit that is going to kick ass.
