New TVR Griffith with Cosworth tuned Coyote 5.0

New Griffith from TVR. Always cool cars to me. But this new one has a 500hp Coyote 5.0 with a Tremec 6 speed. 2700lbs curb weight and side exit exhaust pipes. Too bad they didn't go with the LT1's

That is pretty damn cool!

BUT...they "stole" too many design cues from other cars instead of being more out there like TVR used to be. I see a little too much Supra from the side, Mercedes GT from the front and Viper from the rear.

I'd still take one though lol...

The history of the Griffith was, he was a Ford dealer who did the Shelby thing (stuff American V8 into a British sports car). So the real Griffith had a Ford engine, and it's understandable why they'd bow to history in this case.

I saw that it was a mustang 5.0 and was disappointed they didn't do the LT powerplant. But i then see the side exit exhausts....then i see the shifter...... Ohhhh yeahhhh i like this one
