Apologies in advance if this is something I should know but I am a little out of touch.

Did the Tuscan R prototype become the 440R?

Where can I find some info on the Tuscan R/440R in terms of spec, performance etc?

The reason I ask is that I was fortunate enough to have a blast in a pre production Tuscan R prototype a while back but never followed its progress!

Yep, Tuscan R became T440R which then further morphed into the Typhon which is a 'supercharged' Tuscan R.

Best idea if you are really interested is to contact the factory but I must warn you that there are already 50-60 orders on the books (most for the Typhon) so the wait will be lengthy...

IIRC the last one was being offered for £125,000 and I think that it sold for about 2/3 of that price. Maybe only three built so getting hold of one will be difficult and pricing even more so. If a Sag is £35K then £50K to £80K for the 440R? All IMHO, of course.

Just as a matter of point - there is only 1 T440R (as far as I'm aware!). I'm delighted to say it's mine and it will NEVER be for sale.
