Appearances at the British Motor Show and on TV, this one-of-two development car has lived one heck of a life
Imagine the scene at the 1990 Birmingham Motor Show. Among a sea of '90s rep mobiles, '80s supercar hangovers and more straight edges than a ruler factory, is the TVR stand. Slack-jawed onlookers gather around for a peek at the new Griffith 500 , parked at the front of a line of Wedges to hammer home just how radical of a design it was. Beautiful curved surfaces, doors without handles and an interior resembling the flight deck of an alien spaceship.
So it’s pretty special, then, and we’ve only just scratched the surface. Being a development prototype means there are some choice upgrades not found on any standard T350. Lurking under the bonnet isn’t the 3.6-litre that powered every other T350, but rather a 4.0-litre straight-six from the Tuscan S. That means at least 365hp, though forged pistons, a steel crank, Red Rose exhaust and a Tuscan race car-sourced ECU means it’s probably putting out a fair bit more than that.
