EU Makes Things Tougher for TVR<\/h2>\n

British carmaker TVR has a new Griffith sports car<\/a>, and it looks awesome. That car will take a little longer than originally thought to go to production and be cruising around on European roads. According to the Dutch publication AutoRAI<\/a>, the company will have will have to push back the car until 2020 due to EU regulations. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Carscoops<\/a> reported on the Dutch publication’s findings and noted that the cause for the delay was the fact that the Welsh government owns a tiny percentage of the company.<\/strong> Despite the fact that only three percent of the company is under Welsh government control, TVR qualifies as a state-funded company.<\/strong> This means it needs to take EU-bids on the South Wales factory renovation before production can begin. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes more time than we expected to start production, thanks to the rules of the European Union. We are now aiming for a market launch in the course of 2020,\u201d said Heritage Director of TVR, Paul Thompson. Judging by Thompson’s responses to journalists, he sounded understandably annoyed with the rules. <\/strong><\/p>\n

When the TVR Griffith does finally hit roads it will be a serious performance sports car. It looks amazing and has a Ford-sourced 5.0-liter V8 under the hood.<\/strong> The mad scientists at Cosworth also got their hands on the engine. TVR says it will make 500 hp and all that power will go to the rear wheels.<\/strong> The car will only weight 2,755 pounds, meaning it should go like a rocket. The car’s 50-50 weight distribution and sporty suspension, brakes, and tires should make it a force to be reckoned with. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
