TVR T350C

TVR – founded by Trevor Wilkinson, commonly referred to as ‘Trevor’ is an extraordinary British built sports car made in Blackpool and is capable of embarrassing the most renowned sports car manufactures in the world. Here’s why: Raucous, brash, scary are the common axioms that spring to mind when thinking about TVR and the Drift Limits T350c is no different. Under the TVR’s lightweight fibreglass skin you will find TVR’s own 4 litre straight-six engine normally found in the Sagaris. Uprated to precisely 400 bhp – twist the key and the speed six engine crackles into comic violence sounding as harsh as ever.

The T350c really does feel like a racing car for the road with its tubular chassis, AP racing brakes and wild slashes in the bodywork where a race car would have vents to relieve front-end lift. The styling is somewhat aggressive, infused with quirky and intriguing details which any petrol head will appreciate. 0-60mph comes up in 3.7s which makes the TVR quite a foe on the racetrack. Surprisingly the chassis is more forgiving than you’d think and while you need quick reactions to compensate for the lack of ABS and traction control, it’s a challenging and invigorating experience. Business as usual.
