TVR Tuscan Convertible
The most important debut for TVR at the 2004 Birmingham Show is that of the Tuscan 2. While the roof and rear screen have always been removable on the Tuscan, many customers have expressed a desire for a full convertible.
The new Tuscan convertible is launched with the 350 bhp Speed Six engine and is priced at £39,750, which is identical to that of the Targa. It features twin rollover hoops that are bolted through to the chassis and slightly staggered for increased rollover stiffness as well as being trimmed for elegance. The carbonfibre roof panel is lighter than those of convertible TVRs of old for ease of use. The roof hoop is locked onto the rollover protection by means of screw catches that are very easy to fit as well as making the whole structure immensely strong. Boot space is also increased to cavernous compared to any of its competition, which adds even further to the surprising practicality of Tuscan 2.
The styling of all Tuscans
has been changed with aerodynamics at the forefront of the
stylists’ minds, with the brief of reducing drag and
increasing down force.
The new Tuscan Convertible will now feature new suspension
geometry adding more castor and camber change to suit the
latest tyre designs. Thus giving the new car a more planted,
controlled ride.
The Tuscan Convertible offers owners an exhilarating blend of traditional looks and modern performance. With the ability to be both a practical drop top with effortless touring ability and agile sports car all in one.
