It will be based on the V8 model.
We may be naive but we have faith that the TVR Griffith will make it to production. Although the 1990s-named sports car was unveiled in a new form in September 2017, no production cars have been produced. A pure electric derivative of the Ford V8-powered coupe is being planned for a 2024 launch.
The surprise announcement that the company will sponsor the Monaco E-Prix and London E-Prix, which take place on April 30th and July 30-31st, respectively, is another surprise. This surprising move comes after an agreement with Ensorcia Metals, a South American lithium mining company. TVR stated at the time that it was working on “future motortrain options” to complement its V8 sports car.
The details of other details are still unknown, but TVR Chairman Les Edgar stated to Evo earlier this month that first deliveries of the gasoline-fueled machine would begin in the fourth quarter 2023. The production will be done at a new facility near Cardiff, Wales. According to the firm’s head honcho, some customers who paid for the car have lost faith in it and asked for their deposits back.
The Griffith was powered by a 5.0-liter Coyote engine that produced 493 horsepower and sent power to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. Based on Gordon Murray Design’s iStream process, the sports coupe was distributed 50/50.
TVR claimed a speed of 0-60 mph in four seconds and a top speed exceeding 200 mph (322 km/h). Griffith, a two-seater, was approximately the same size and weight as a Porsche Cayman. It had a double-wishbone suspension at each axle with 19-inch front wheels and 20-inch back wheels.
TVR accepts PS5,000 ($6,356) deposit on its website. This is for the Launch Edition, of which 500 will be produced.
