Unfortunately it's true, it is in production yet, but coloured in the paint of the car with reflectors on the left and rear side, which are gone from the former position next to the rear lights. Also the indicators are gone from behind the rear window and now positioned above the rear lights........
I have some piccies, but have to develope them first.

I've gotta say - it looks like a cheap afterthought. When I first heard that TVR were back off to the windtunnel after not bothering since the days of the 400 se - I was pleased. The Tuscan R latest pictures look better that I had hoped. All modern TVR's that I have owned and driven all need more high speed down force. My old 400 SE was much better !
That really is look spoiler!(pun intended). But maybe it adds necessary downforce for stability at high speed? I don't know about the tuscan TVRs have always been scarily light in the rear end at high speed i've noticed, even though i've only driven a older modified chimera I had a scare discovering a tendancy to oversteer slightly at 120mph and above. Point is it needed arse end downforce, I bet the tuscy does too.
It's either an April fool, or a mule, done to furtehr the wind tunnel testing the Tuscan has undergone. If that testing has shown up some drag or downforce problem, maybe this is a stick-on, to get a feel for how to modify the back end. Maybe, when the piccy was taken in Blackpool, it was on it's way to British Aerospace in Preston, for testing?
What a complete lack of imagination in the new rear end design. It reminds me of a low budget kit car approach. The spoiler ain't great, but the light arrangement is terrible. What was wrong with those fantastic lozenge LCD units. Pleased I didn't wait until this year to take delivery.
