Went to motorshow... saw new Tuscan... couldn't help but think...

Is it just me, or does it look like the new Tuscan's got two black eyes???

TVR have missed smth here. Usually then design a new car and it looks good. The new tuscan lights make it look like it has been for a few rounds with tyson or some other heavy weight (probably a Hummer) and come off worse.

i think these new lights could have a bit of function towards them aswell,
as i remember the new bristol supercar had faired in headlights and an interview with the makers in evo stated that having the faired in lights give them a tiny bit more top speed (something like 4mph)so there's something that may be good especially upon the tuscan S Mk2

The new Tuscan lights look excellent and are a vast improvemnet over the spider's eyes on the Mk1. Ben said the final version will have all 4 x ligfhts faired in as per the Tuscan S, did you see that? It was fantastic! Rich...

I wish they had kept the tiny little light between the two headlights!

Also, I wonder what it would look like with non black surrounds and faired in?

The customer cars will be like the Tuscan S units which all have the black surrounds and covered which look fantastic...

Sorry, but I personally don't like the front, nor the back lights at all!

However, look in the picture above at the Sagaris' back ... JAWDROPPIN'!

Sorry to disagree but - how can I say this - up close the Sagaris is a bit of a mess. It just looks a bit to much like some little sod has got bored with their Nova and 'modded' this instead.

I prefer the clean cut lines of the T350. What I'd really prefer is the Tuscan. The old one. Lights are better

I thought only having one set faired in looked half finished - looked much better on the S.

I would ike to see what body coloured surrounds look like too - it would improve it IMO.

Me neither. If it was a case of aerodynamics could they not have found a way of fairing in the lights without making the design look older than the original Tuscan? As for the back.... think they need another Ned (RIP) in the design department.

Who's going to be the first company to offer installing retro design headlights/tail lights on Tuscan 2s?
