The British have bought a nonexistent sports car

Revived in 2013, the British sportscar manufacturer TVR managed to sell the entire edition of its upcoming sports car, which is not yet even in the form of computer sketches

In July, the company TVR announced that it is now accepting applications for the purchase of a sports car, the release of which will only begin in 2017. However, no characteristics or appearance, or even the price of the car to declassify the British were in no hurry. In fact, the buyer offered to buy a pig in a poke.
However, something about the car yet become known. TVR offers a "two-seater, rear-drive sports car with a body made of composite materials to the front of the engine company Cosworth». It seems to be nothing special, but then the British laid out the trump card, which turned out to be a well-known designer of sports cars and racing cars, Gordon Murray, the author of the iconic sports car McLaren F1. Along the way, it was promised that the upcoming sports car TVR will be "a real, hard-edged British sports cars, designed and produced in the UK." Such small enough to patriotic British motorists bought all 250 planned for production in 2017 sports cars. However, it is worth noting that the advance was small - only 5,000 pounds. Other manufacturers of sports cars are usually asked many times greater prepayment.

However, encouraged by the beginning of this guide TVR, which stated that in addition to plans to develop three more sports car models, including a compact sportkrossover and 2020 to bring the annual circulation of all models produced up to 1000-1500 units, which will allow us not only to go at break-even level, but also make a small profit. As far as this is feasible - time will tell. The most important thing in 1947 based company TVR in England may not have forgotten, though it was more than ten years in semi-comatose state. In 2004, it actually saved from bankruptcy by a Russian businessman Nikolai Smolensky, bought all the assets and rights, but to breathe life into it did not happen. In 2013, the Smolensk sold her former video game developer Forest Edgar, who promised to turn the TVR in a profitable enterprise. However, while all of the advances can be noted participation in the project of Gordon Murray, the support of the company Cosworth, but less successful start receiving applications for the next sports car. But will there be enough of something larger, it will become clear in the coming year and a half.
