The
engine of the Tamora 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 means
weighs just over 1,000 kg.
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.
