I've seen this, it's awesome, something around 720bhp!!

It's certainly had some money spent on it, it was in last months PBMW too.

I'm sure that prism motorsports website has the pics

http://www.prismmotorsport.co.uk/

but the site is under construction

Sounds amazing. I have a video of a swedish 2.5 turbo @600hp and its the best sounding car i have ever heard. Anyone know where you can host video files?

Talk about old news

dude, you alright today?seem a bit sarky from the jimbob we usually see?

[Turbo-Brown]

Hmmm, wonder if that's a Rover V8, or TVR's own funny Vee angle effort.

the clues are there if you look hard enough

All alloy TVR based unit 5.0 L twin turbo injection

[Turbo-Brown]

Yes did see that, but TVR used both engines, and both came with 5litre capacities so it could be either.

[Paul325i]

That's been about for years, cool bit of kit though.

Way to complex though, silly turbos when they should have charged it.

[glenn]

[Sjoerd320i]

[Zayyan]

It looks ridiculous with all those stick-on bits, but nobody would agree with me before

Clive anderson is the owner of PRISM MOTORSPORT and is based in ENFIELD north London. Turns out some top work and done by his own hands

[Adammcf]

[Kos]
