| Additional Info: The Wildcat borrows a lot of it’s styling from the TVR Griffith and could be had with an updated and modified TVR AJP8 engine option (as above). There were 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. It was anticipated that 150 units would be built per year, however production stopped in 2014 with only 7 cars being built. |
