Have TVR made any prelimenary performance tests for this mighty beast?

We all know the claimed 215mph but what about 0-60, 1/4 mile, 0-100 etc...

Would be interested to see the difference between a sequential and non sequential equipped car as well...

Can remember reading on Harrogate HC website that 0-60 would be 3.2sec and 0-100 6.9sec! However these might be a bit optimistic

From the Autocar article last year on the Tuscan R, TVR seemed to by aiming for sub 4sec 0-60 and sub 8sec 0-100. On reading this it seems that it will be very close to the Pagani Zonda Figures (3.8sec 0-60, 7.5sec 0-100, top speed 220).

Hopefully we'll see some magazine road tests in the next couple of months.

P.S I think the T400R/T440R come with the sequential box as standard - perhaps the only way to compare the difference would be with a T350 or Tuscan fitted with one as an optional extra.
