LIVE New TVR Launch from Goodwood Revival

500bhp TVR Griffith makes dynamic debut on goodwood revival . All-new British V8 sports car uses Gordon Murray’s iStream architecture and gets a flat floor for ground effect. The new car is the first to be built by TVR’s current owners, a private millionaires’ consortium fronted by computer-gaming magnate Les Edgar that four years ago mounted a successful bid to buy the brand from Russian ‘mini oligarch’ Nikolai Smolenski. It was a day that diehard enthusiasts feared would never dawn: the big-hearted, big-performance sports car marque born in Blackpool 70 years ago ceased production in 2006 under Smolenski and resisted all attempts at revival until the current owners began a lengthy restoration process in 2013.
