Cerbera 4.5 3,3
Cerbera 4.4 3,6
Tuscan S6 3,6
Chimaera 500 3,7
Griffith 500 3,7
Tamora 3,8
Chimaera 450 4,2

if I understand correctly:

the lower the amount of points, the better the rating

all the TVR's are very close to the best of the best (GT2 and the likes) which is excellent!

Griffithy,

What do the numbers actually mean? (Too much money spent on petrol to be able to afford the magazine you quoted from...)

I suspect 0 to 60 times 3,3 = 3.3...

Don't think so, they are quick, but not that quick.

That´s right. 0-60 time is only part of their formula,
a German magazine that is.
As you see, the comparison of (true)sportscars gives TVRs an excellent reputation, that´s what I wanted to tell you.
