TVR

Explore the TVR brand in Forza! Learn about their history, the powerful cars like the Sagaris and Cerbera Speed 12, and their place in the Forza universe.

Hey there! So, you're diving into the world of Forza and curious about TVR? Awesome choice! These British sports cars are all about raw power and a no-frills driving experience. Think lightweight, high-horsepower machines that often ditch driver aids like traction control and ABS. It’s a real driver’s car philosophy. TVR was founded way back in 1947 by Trevor Wilkinson, and they've always focused on building hand-built sports cars. Early on, they used engines from other manufacturers, wrapping them in fiberglass bodies over tubular steel frames. A great example of this is the Grantura, which got a serious boost when American tuner Jack Griffith famously stuffed a small-block Ford V8 into it. That car became the Griffith 200, a real pocket rocket with up to 271 horsepower! Later on, TVR started building their own engines. The Speed Six, a 4.0-liter beast, powers some of their more recent models. You'll find a 380 horsepower version in the Tuscan S street car, and if you're looking for pure track aggression, the Tuscan R boasts 450 horsepower and some slick aero. For the truly hardcore fans, TVR even built a GT1 race car in the late 90s. This monster used a massive 7.7-liter V12, essentially two Speed Sixes bolted together. They even made a prototype street version in 2000 called the Cerbera Speed 12. This thing was incredibly fast, weighing in at just 2,200 lbs and putting out a mind-boggling 800 horsepower. Definitely one of the fastest road cars ever conceived! More recently, in 2005, they introduced the Sagaris, a sports car designed with endurance racing in mind. TVR in Forza: You'll find TVR cars featured in pretty much every main Forza title, and they're even planned for the upcoming _Forza Horizon 6_.
