You jest surely...
Just seen the pics of the Tuscan R from Nacnud that Ted posted on another thread.
I'm with Christof, thats a damned fine looking car. Shame they couldnt keep the lights like the one on the website, they were better looking I thought.
As for the 360 Modena, why update the 355? Its the best looking 'rarri modern car they have ever made now it looks like something thats been dropped and as for that F60...
Matt.

No offence to Nacnud, but the pictures don't do justice to the car. The TuscanR's presence is simply overwhelming. When I looked at the rear in the 'flesh' I was simply gobsmacked - it is actually very refined. Now, looking at the pictures I hardly recognise the rear. So, all I'd say is: wait until you see it, it'll blow you away. As for the lucky ones would will actually drive this... you are lucky lucky b4$t4rd5! 
I'm sure it has awesome "presence" but I know where my money would go, and it's quite a way south of Blackpool.
When you get to this sort of money you want some style and refinement, well I do anyway.
Just shows how much a personal thing cars are, for me the 360 Modena is simply gorgeous, the Tuscan in all versions is brutish.

I think Bertie is right - we cant really compare the "R" to a Ferrari 360 or whatever. Not really the same ball-pack on refinement or creature comforts. Ok, so the "R" has performance a-plenty, but the buyers will be limited if it is just simply a faster Tuscan... lets be honest, does the world need a faster Tuscan S? Other than discussions on websites - it is pretty academic isnt it?
Still, if the "R" has refinement and better userfriendlyness then it might just have a fair market. But I wouldnt imaging that is possible with TVR's development budgets.
I think it is good looking and probably a bargin for what it can do. But lets be honest, for most the Cerbera 4.5RR or Tuscan S is as probably as fast as the average driver needs to go - and I am not even an average driver...
Cheers,
Paul

Fraid the pictures are how I remember it.
I love the front 2/3 of the Tuscan R. The front is humungously wide, that's not a camera trick. It's the most spectacularly beautiful TVR front end ever in my opinion. You are right about my pictures not doing it justice.
But as for the back, a long lens seems to flatter it and I wasn't using a long lens.... However, it's the restyled back window that leaves me cringing. It looks sad with it's downturned top corners. It's completely at odds with the agression of the front.
The Eclipse Tuscan R has a completely different rear window and it looks fantastic. Why did they change it?
I looooooooooove it.
Would prefer the old rear lights arrangement, too.
Sorry guys, the Cerbera RR and Tuscan S are definately fast, but not as mindblowing fast as the R should be.
TVR has to do something to match the performance figures of the super cars, like Zonda, Lambo, Ferrari FX, Porsche GT V10, etc.
And this little baby will eat everything of the so called hypercars.
Stylingwise it's definately in another league, too. It remind me on the cars of MICHELE VAILLANT in the old ZACK comics.
Look at all the midengined cars, they look the same, but this little baby looks like it comes from another planet.
Have to the beasties in flesh asap

Looking at the side picture, it seems the body was too long for the chassis so they used the hammer to make it fit the short-looking wheelbase 
It doesn't look as sleek as the gorgeous Aston green prototype was.
And those rear lights?
I am pretty embarassed: many of you didn't like the Tamora at the beginning but I did; now I don't like this one from the start
