seeing as both of these cars never made it to prodution, and that they are monsters among cars, based on specs, i thought this would be an even comparison. comments, questions, all welcome.

first question is the obvious one. What is a Lotec Sirius?

is that running on a Mercedes engine? Or an Alpina V12 Biturbo?

If looks are to be taken into consideration, the TVR wins hands down. The Lotec's really quite ugly. There are bulges in places there just shouldn't be (underneath the front lights) and the overall look of the car is that it was made in someone's garage (parts that look like they've been robbed from other cars and botched together, in a mix-match of styles). There's also far too much glass.

"This is hardcore." - Evo's John Barker on the TVR Tuscan S
EVO Magazine did a brief roadtest of a Lotec Sirius about a year ago I think (can't remember which issue, might dig it out later if I remember). They seemed to think it showed a lot of promise with decent handling, ride and humongous power. They did say though that it was probably the widest road car they'd ever tested and that it would be a nightmare on a tight road.

Car Friend, if you put links in threads - posts make sure that they are not harmful and do not lead to uninvited polluters.
Thanks in advance

I think he's referring to the ridiculous numbers of 'pop-ups' you get spammed with when viewing anything on fast-autos.net without being a member.Originally Posted by car_fiend

TVR gets my vote.
The Ace of All Aces.
Crysis. Maximum Game.
How could something with 1334 bhp only get to 60 in 3.7 seconds? oh that's right, wheelspin. The Sirius is too powerful for RWD.
Gimme the TVR.
