Tamora

In production: 2002 - 2006
​Model: Speed Six
TVR Tamora

History

2002 - The Tamora name comes from Shakespeare's Queen of the Goths character in Titus Andronicus , and it was launched at the Birmingham Motor Show in 2000, when TVR claimed it was "less extreme, more accessible, more conservative." The price however was very close to that of the more popular Tuscan so it was never produced in great numbers and remains a rarer car, although it has a very strong following from those that have owned and driven one.

The platform and engine were shared with the entry level Tuscan and it was designed as a replacement for the Griffith and Chimaera, a very hard couple of acts to follow.

Reviews from the period

The oft-overlooked TVR Tamora is one of the best-driving TVRs and good value too - EVO
this TVR is about as much fun as you can have on terra firma while fully clothed, stone-cold sober, and uninfluenced by recreational pharmaceuticals. There’s more than enough straightline acceleration to drain the blood from your eyeballs, but what really impresses is how well the chassis copes with so much grunt. The basic layout, front and rear, consists of upper and lower control arms with anti-roll bars and coil-over-gas dampers. High-geared steering that’s almost telepathically communicative complements plenty of grip and sharp handling. The Tamora is one of those exquisitely balanced and very responsive mile eaters that require little more than a flexing of the wrists and appropriate amounts of pressure on the loud pedal - Automobile Magazine 2002
Runner up for EVO magazine car of the decade 2009 - Bit of an unexpected one, this. Trawling through the evo archives it’s a bit of a surprise to see one of Trevor’s more forgotten sports cars turn up so highly, especially in an eCoty dripping with talent – Elise, Vanquish, Evo VII and Clio 172 were all swept aside by the Tamora. ‘It’s close to roadster perfection,’ enthused Harry Metcalfe at the time, while Dickie Meaden put it at the top of his eCoty ’01 voting list. A car that we’re wrong to forget beside the Griffith and Cerbera glory cars, then. Is now the time for justice? A TVR would certainly be a fun Car of the Decade…
