Autocar : M400 drivers car of the year

[DanH]

Nice one

Certainly beats the Evo mauling!

Has Jay Kay placed an order? (although IIRC he's just lost his license again).

Just read this one too...

Got my second drive in MV's M400 in a couple of weeks time when it's had it's first service. Can't see me talking myself out of getting this one! lol

It did very well, nearly 2 secs a lap quicker than the GT3 RS

Took Mole valleys demo car out on Saturday, awesome, awesome car, I think I seriously need to think about it

Cheers

I wonder how much is the new engine vs tyres & setup. I suspect a decent chunk is the latter, which you could probably get similar to by dropping on some nitrons and some corsa tyres, or the factory M400 suspension even if they sell it (although its not adjustable unlike the nitron).

Another blinding result for Lee and his dedicated Team. Well deserved.

And sorry, where did the TVR come? Oh yes, that's right.....there wasn't one even selected for the test.

Cheers,

And what model do you propose they test which hasn't already been used in previous events?

Anyone one of them Supersonic.

PS how's the Scooby and when do get your TVR?

[DanH]

Er :

Tuscan 2.
Sagaris.
T350T.
That 80 grand jobbie who's name escapes me.

Neither the Sagaris, Tuscan 2 or Typhon have been released and the T350C was used in last years test so we wouldn't learn anything new.

[DanH]

The T350T wasn't tested although the 350C was. Still I was told by the TVR dealer at the wharf motor show that the suspension & steering rack have all been revised on the T350. Would have been enough justification one would think?


Not that its a huge deal.

With respect to the sagaris I'm sure I saw a customer car at GFOS? Even had a thing in the window saying customer car don't touch.

The Sagaris had a little sticker claiming it was a pre-production model, the orange Typhon was the first customer car though.

[DanH]

So there you go, the Typhon is technically available. Just no demo cars

Would have been nice if a T350 was in there, but never mind. Its not like the MX5 is a new car either.
