FactTVR named its entry-level roadster after a Shakespearean villain: the Tamora takes its name from the ruthless Queen of the Goths in Titus Andronicus.
The TVR Tamora is a 2-seater sports car built from 2002, filling the gap left by the Chimaera and Griffith; introduced at the 2000 Birmingham Motor Show, it is named after a character in Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus and served as an entry-level model in the TVR range. It was designed by a team led by Damian McTaggart, with Peter Wheeler still giving final approval, and was intended to be more practical and urban-friendly, using the same chassis and suspension as the Tuscan Speed Six with a short-stroked 3.6 litre version of the Speed Six engine. Keeping with TVR tradition it lacked driver aids such as ABS and traction control, but was fitted with power steering and a softer clutch. It was not a sales success due to reliability issues, high price and divisive styling, and only 356 cars were made before it was discontinued in 2006; it also provided the base for the T350 coupé.

TVR named its entry-level roadster after a Shakespearean villain — Tamora, the vengeful queen from Titus Andronicus, not exactly standard sports-car naming convention.

In 1974 Alfa built a one-off on this Spider: a Porsche-style solid rear window and lift-out roof panels, fewer than 2,000 made, the only Spider ever with a part-solid roof.
Over 100,000 people voted to name this car "Duetto" — but a chocolate-snack maker had already trademarked the word, and a Milan court ruling forced Alfa to sell it as the Spider 1600 instead.
After nearly 25 years of manual-only Spiders, the final Series 4 cars quietly added something Alfa purists never expected: an optional automatic transmission.
The mid-80s Spider's Quadrifoglio Verde trim went all-in on a single look: blood-red carpets and grey leather with red stitching, and it only ever came in three exterior colors.
This Spider was built not by Alfa but by Pininfarina itself, on a platform shared with General Motors.
The 916 Spider's strongest naturally aspirated engine, the 192 PS 3.0 12V Busso V6, was never offered in its GTV coupe twin.
The Frogeye had no boot lid at all — owners reached the spare wheel by tilting the seats forward into the dark cavity behind, a ritual they likened to potholing.
The Fairlady 2000's SR311 update came with a five-speed manual gearbox in 1967 — a genuinely unusual spec for any production car of that era.
