Manufacturer Press Release
|
The mighty Tuscan now comes in the form of a spectacular new convertible, described in the press as being so luxurious it must have escaped the resistance of TVR's accountants to get into production. It couples all of the breathtaking performance of the targa Tuscan with the exhilaration of driving a top-down sports car.
Its functionality has been completely redesigned as an original convertible, rather than simply a coupe with its roof taken off. And no expense has been spared in ensuring the progression of its pedigree. From the astonishing enhancements to its handling, to its remodelled new interior, this is close to motoring utopia.
Yet its elegant and sophisticated form belies its almighty agenda. Hidden beneath its sleek skin is a monstrously powerful beast that purrs when you want it to, and roars when you tell it to. The Tuscan convertible is a paradox: there is a charming courtliness to this brutish Bohemian.
As with all TVRs, it is function that defines form. Every inch of the car has been meticulously thought-through to add to its practicality and performance, as well as to its presentation. The convertible roof is quick and easy to turn down, and its carefully considered roof-down aerodynamics ensure that buffering and noise are deliberately diverted, avoiding any unwanted compromises to performance or pleasure.
Its four-litre straight six engine launches the 1,100 kg Tuscan S convertible to 60 mph from stationary in under four seconds. And with its extremely stiff race-derived chassis, carefully honed suspension and handling set-ups and exceptional composure, the Tuscan convertible is a pleasurable and fantastically balanced driving experience, even with a break-neck take-off and at breathtaking speeds
Evo wrote recently about the Tuscan convertible that it's "thrillingly fast" and "gloriously vocal." Read the full Evo review here (PDF format).
