TVR

The order books are open for the new Legend 480, a V8-powered super-lightweight sportscar built by Formula One supplier and TVR lover Graham Mulholland. Named for its 480 horsepower, this tight design is as manual and visceral as today's cars get.

​​British sports car manufacturer TVR may have begun operations in 1947, but it changed ownership in 2013. The brand's first new car to come out since that resurrection, the TVR Griffith was unveiled this Friday at the Goodwood Revival event in the UK.

The historic TVR marque will be reborn at this year's Goodwood Revival meeting in September. The name that made a habit out of using not very much to go awfully fast will be resurrected on the 70th anniversary of its birth.
