| Additional Info: The Wildcat borrows a lot of it’s styling from the TVR Griffith and can now be had with an updated and modified TVR AJP8 engine option (as above). There are a number of other engine choices, including Chevy’s LS2, LS3, LS7, a Hemi 425 and 440, the Viper’s V10 and also V8/V12 BMW engines. These engines put out anywhere from 400-1000+bhp. You can even specify your own choice of engine. The car can be built from as little as £30,000+ or you can even enter their raffle (yes that’s right they raffle their cars off!). |
