Agreed, and not much point in trying to compete with the look of a TVR as you may as well just go out and buy the real thing, they are not totally out of reach after all.

Yea TVR-ish but why buy a Farrari kit car, cobra, lotus or porshe kit car? This car will cost around £13,000 plus parts and build time, a TVR Sagaris is £55,000. And the rear end and interior i think are much different, possibly alot nicer!

The venturi tunnels, wheel arch vents front splitters make for a fast, high performance car. The 200SX turbo engine can easily be tuned to 350bhp and alot more.

It will weigh 750kgs as opposed to 1.6 tonne for the TVR so power to weight ratio could way out perform the tvr.

Its designed specially for 20-22inch rims, the TVR is 17inch.

AND MOST OF ALL ITS CONVERTABLE, with mx5 soft top and a specially designed hardtop.

So, although the front headlights resemble TVR you have to think which offers more speed, power, originality, exclusivness etc.. etc...

A TVR is basically a kit-car anyway, made by a handfull of people in a factory near blackpool.

I have to say for about £25k for kit, parts, tuning etc this will be an awsome car!

Yeah, was thinking that myself.

I don't mind promotion on the site as long as its kit car related and where it's going to be for the good and interest of the industry/community.

Something like this is obviously in the early stages so comments from enthusiasts could help to shape the outcome (or put it to bed before it starts)

As long as it's not rammed down peoples throats and reads like a Penis enlargement ad (no pun intended) then I'm ok with it.
