The Tuscan is another TVR nameplate from the 1960s that made a comeback in the 1990s. The two-seater sports car came as a coupe or as a Targa and was powered exclusively by the SpeedSix engine, with versions ranging from 3.6 to 4.2 liters, but always retaining the inline-six, naturally-aspirated setup. The 3.6 and 4.0-liter versions were available from the beginning, with 345 to 395 horsepower and 290 to 315 pound-feet (393 to 427 Nm), but were later joined by the range-topping Tuscan T440R, with a 4.2-liter inline-six that made 434 horsepower and 350 pound-feet (475 Nm). The TVR Tuscan T440R was capable of 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 216 mph (347 km/h). More impressive was the fact, most of the “lesser” versions were also capable of sub-4.0-second 0 to 60 mph time. The Tuscan really came into its own, after the 2005 chassis refinements, which made it sportier and more compliant. As with any other TVR, the Tuscan was very light, tipping the scales at 2, 308 pounds (1, 067 kg). Most variants came with a five-speed manual, except the T440R, which got a six-speed unit. A total of 1, 677 units were produced.
