    Carisma Tvr tuscan

    What do you think of this carisma tvr tuscan?
    This is the same company that modified that cerbera 12 (below).
    I suppose i do find the wing having the same waves as the tail a good idea and those holes in the struture the same as in the grill, but is it rice? has it destroyed a tvr? or has it improved it ? im sorry i dont have any perfomance figures just those pics though theres a site here

    I don't know if it has improved, but it's made for a pretty mean profile. The wing is awful, though.

    Yeah, I have to agree with you Matt, that wing is boo-urns.

    Again, yes.

    It looks like it has contracted a nasty glandular disease. In my humble opinion it looks foul. Exactly what right does some guy with a penchant for turning silly looking shopping cars into sillier looking, heavier shopping cars have to take something that has had hundreds of hours spent on it's fantastic looking, highly aerodynamic and unique design, and degrade it to a joke on wheels? Does he know something that professional car designers and manufacturers don't about aerodynamics and drag?

    I'd probably rather set fire to it than be seen in it, even if it is still a Tuscan under all that crap.

    Sorry if that looks a little ranty, it's just one of my bugbears I suppose.

    It looks like a HotWheel. And what hot-blooded man doesn't want to drive a HotWheel?

    Sorry guys but I have to disagree with you about how bad it looks!!!! I think it looks pretty good to me and I think it would look even better if I was setting in it instead of the big guy!!!!

    Dire.
    It looks like a toy, rather than a menacing high performance vehicle.

    Why do people always think that they can do better than the original, when even Stevie Wonder could tell you its going to look bad.
    Thanks for all the fish

    seen it...

    I've seen their work at their premises and it's flawless. I've seen both these tvr's on the road, and although they're insane, **** me they do grab your attention. They sound the bollocks too.

    IMO it looks nice. It's totaly different from another vehicles and that is the main preference of this.

    it's mediocre. I like the bodywork, but it looks so little.....probably due to that massive rear wing. RICE. Cut down the spoiler and you've got a fine piece of machinery there
