FactNo ABS, no traction control, no airbags — the Tuscan Speed Six shipped without any of them, because TVR's own chairman insisted, based on testing, that the car was safer that way.
The TVR Tuscan Speed Six, built from 1999 to 2006, revived the Tuscan name (honouring the original 1967 V6/V8 Tuscan) for a modern targa-top or convertible sports car sharing its Speed Six engine family with the later T350, Tamora and Sagaris (also related to the T400R). The 4.0-litre 3,996 cc Speed Six straight-six made 360 hp (365 PS) at 7,000 rpm and 310 lb-ft; a "Red Rose" pack option later raised output to 380 hp (385 PS), and the range-topping Tuscan S made 390 hp (395 PS) with extra aerodynamic addenda. A 3.6-litre (3,605 cc) and 4.2-litre (4,200 cc) version of the Speed Six were also offered. Front mid-engine, rear-wheel drive, 5-speed manual; wheelbase 2,336 mm (92.0 in), length 4,235 mm (166.7 in), width 1,810 mm (71.3 in), height 1,200 mm (47.2 in), kerb weight 1,100 kg (2,425 lb).

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
