The difference between T400r/T44or and Typhon?

[jolly]

Right, this might sound like a really stupid question to you guys. But can anybody explain the difference between these 3 cars? I saw a typhon (or maybe it was a T440r?) @ the motorshow in 2004 and thought it was a quality looking beast. :d

Cheers

T400 4.0L speed six 400bhp (the one they race)
T440 4.2L speed six 440bhp
Typhon 4.0L supercharged speed six, believe it's regulated down to 580bhp??
all have basically the same body, not sure about standard or sequential transmissons.

Thankyou!

And am i right in saying that the T400 / T440r are avliable for purchase and the Typhon is the one that is causing trouble. However I have seen a quality oranage one in this forum, so are they trickling out very slowly?!

Sorry for all the questions and I hope someone can answer them for me.

As far as I'm aware only one has made it into the hands of it's new owner (was either a t400 or t440 - not sure which). Pictures here

The orange one was a Typhon, it was due to be handed over last year sometime and made an appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. However as yet I don't beleive the owner has received the car. Full details here

Thank you. So it seems that all three models are difficult to get hold of, this seems rather strange, and im sure its probably been said before, but why>?!

Nobody really knows what's going on. Presumably they are still being developed, and they were busy getting the Sagaris and Tuscan 2 sorted. Last word going around was something about a problem with heat dissapation under the bonnet.

I was just checking if the T400R was yet into production . . . It isn't isn't it? (I love the English language) It isn't isn't it . . .
