The RM'ed version looks amazing in Chameleon Orange with black rims:drool:

Great engine sound, pop-pop-pop on low revs and like a real I6 at 8000+rpm with the perfect amount of Tranny whine.

Awesome acceleration from the starting line and out of corners, can hit 0-60 in under 3 seconds even with La Sarthe-spec gearing.

Light as a feather with only 880kg, has very balanced cornering characteristics with little oversteer or understeer.

Kills almost everything between 500-600hp, even without race modding:tup:

Must have in everyones garages IMO.
 
Most people should already have one in their garage from one of the Seasonal Events, at Cape Ring I think it was.

I do have to agree, the car is fun to drive.
 
I've always liked these unique cars. I wish we had more TVRs in the game...

Loving your avatar:D If you RM it, you get the Black rims with the car, along with black bumpers and fenders:)

I originally bought it for the seasonal event, kept it mostly stock apart from Racing Softs. Performed stunningly, and is now RM'ed.

I keep two similarly-specced ones in my garage, one with RM and one without. They don't have too much of a performance difference, although the RM one is a bit quicker. 930kg vs 880kg, and a 10-ish hp more power, has more downforce too.

Strangely, the version without RM has a higher top speed:confused:

Both of them drive similarly though (the only understeery car which I actually enjoy driving). Very firm and predictable around the corners, and doesn't spin out even if you tap the throttle hard around corners (despite the amazing response).

Less aerodynamic drag.
 
I love the Tuscan, much underrated car, and looks great in the flesh (when it isn't on fire, apparently)

Shame they haven't changed the TVR line-up for years, would be nice to have the even faster Tuscan S or Tuscan R, and the Sagaris

Still, not complaining! And the RM is a nice addition :)

Already have one like this, like it so much that I'll buy another just for the RM... the one I have now will used quite a bit in photomode :)

its hard to drive with sports tires, tends to slide around a lot.

IMO that what makes it so fun to drive, had a complete blast drifting through the Cape Ring corners in the seasonal event where this was needed 👍

I kept the RM version with no downforce, and the streeet tuner with full downforce. And despite the 10hp less power and 51kg more weight, it's still quicker on the straights:sick:

I don't think you can go to 0 with the wings. Anyways the aero parts produce drag just by being there, just not as much in lower settings.
 
I LOVE TVRs! Currently doing the Suzuka 1000km in my RM Tuscan. Loved em all since the Griffith 500 and the racing Cerbera in the first game. They all seem to understeer more than they used to in this game, but a slight softening of the front springs and I'm happy!
 
It's a fun car to drive. PD's scheme worked if you're playing the game to have fun. We've got to buy different cars that we normally wouldn't buy and drive. Much like everything else in my garage I have 3 of them: stock, tuned, race modded.

You can't have an RM with no downforce, you can reduce it to a minimum but there's still some left (5/5, I'm guessing) and it has both downforce generated at the front and rear whereas if you fitted a rear spoiler to the road version (which I myself wouldn't even consider) the downforce is only generated and adjustable at the rear so there is a difference, haven't tried which one is faster yet (do own both versions too) but it wouldn't surprise me at all the regular tuned version has a higher topspeed even when the transmission is set up the same.

Agreed

That Sagaris is an awesome car. One of the reasons I bought Forza 3 was so I could have a drive of that beast 👍

I would love to see this as DLC.
 
i have 7 tuscans :D i love the paint colours and the car so much i use the chips on my other tvr's and one standard, one fully tunes and one rm'd (the RM version won the dream car championship by miles even thought it has over 200bhp less)

oh and tvr's in the rain and just so much fun :D
 
I've never really gave the Speed 6 a try if I'm honest!
I'm not really into TVR's, I don't know why!
 
While I love the Tuscan, I would still prefer to see either a Tuscan Challenge or T400R in the game. Along with that, I think the Griffith 500 deserves to be made premium.

You mean it's fun to drive with sports tires! :D
I like mine stock with sport hards and no ABS like it was meant to be. :)

I totally agree on this. Not that I have a problem with using driving aids, but I only do on cars which actually have those.

But as TVR doesn't use any, I drive it with everything off.

This way I had loads of fun in the seasonal with sports medium.

I also really enjoyed doing the DTM, JGTC and the Schwimmwagen challenges without any driving aids. Didn't expect especially the race cars to brake so well even without ABS.

Good times!
