The TVR Tamora is one of TVR's more recent models in the new generation of TVR's. In the same way that the Chimaera was engineered to be a more accessible sister to the Griffith, so the Tamora is based on the Tuscan Speed Six, whose platform it shares.

The Tamora is growing in popularity due to its style, flair, performance and affordability. With more conservative styling than the Tuscan and more recognisable TVR styling cues, the Tamora has been designed to be less extreme and indeed simpler in some aspects than the Tuscan. For example, the car is a full convertible with the roof mechanism being the acclaimed stowable hard-top design from the Griffith and Chimaera. The covered headlights and clean lines have echoes of Griffith and Chimaera but are more modern in their design.

It's with the Tamora where the stylists and engineers have surpassed themselves with a multi-function digital display, shift lights and two analogue dials for quick glance down viewing of speed and engine revs. There are two leather trimmed race-style bucket seats made out of lightweight composites to hold the driver and passenger in place and a floor mounted pedal box which is located through to the chassis. The window mechanism is of the Tuscan/Cerbera generation in that the window will slide up into the seal for less wind noise at speed.

Our view - TVR Tamora

The engine is a 3.6 litre version of TVR's own straight six, pushing out 350 bhp at 7200 rpm giving the car extremely brisk performance. In fact it reaches 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. The Tamora shares the technology of the 4.0 litre Speed Six engine found in the Cerbera and the Tuscan as well as that found in the successful Tuscan R racing car. It does, however, sound different due to an all-new stainless steel and titanium exhaust system.

Handling is benign but involving with double wishbones and coil springs over gas filled shock absorbers and the ride makes it easy to use every day. Brakes are considerable cross drilled and ventilated discs all round with four piston callipers at the front and the front roll cage and door beams are manufactured out of very strong T45 steel. Despite all this hardware, the composite bodywork and weight-saving construction methods mean weighs just over 1,000 kg.
