> [@rookee](#): > > an obscure **UK** car seen only in the movie swordfish and arab oil prince’s garages. Sorry had to fix that 😉 If I had to sum up TVR for someone who’s never heard of them outside Gran Turismo. They enjoy building RWD cars that are usually powered by some very strong Inline 6’s which make between 300-400 hp. And every so often they shove a V8 into something. Most their cars handle pretty well and are fairly light for what they are. They’d probaly make a decent buck if they ever sold them here. Yea, to be honest I pulled alot of that off of here, check it out. > **[About TVR - My WordPress](https://tvr-eng.co.uk/about-tvr/)** > > TVR.

> [@Gray05](#): > > arent these powered by Ford engines too? like the Pagondi, and Koeneggiseg? No. They design and build their own engines, notably a twin- cam 24V straight six and a flat- plane crank 32V V8. Amazing for a tiny little British company. TVR used to run Rover V8 engines which were the old all aluminum Buick V8 (215). When Buick decided they had no use for the engine, Rover bought all the tooling in the 60’s and started making them under their name. Rover V8’s have been in a ton of British cars including Range Rovers, MG’s, TVR’s, Marcos, various Rover sedans (SD1 etc), Westfields, etc. etc. ---
