TVR Typhon
The TVR Typhon will not be a cheap car to buy or operate. Fuel economy will be on the high side and so will insurance rates. Maintenance and running costs are likely to vary somewhat with each owner.
The Typhon was not designed for space but it does provide more than adequate space for the driver and passenger. Head and legroom is good but storage space is limited.
The TVR’s switchgear has a quality look and feel and further enhances the overall sporty feel of the cabin. The Typhon provides an adjustable pedal box, electronically adjustable mirrors, electronic boot release and a fully adjustable steering column.
The Typhon provides a decently comfortable ride. The seats are supportive and firm but remain comfortable even on longer journeys. Head and legroom are good and make accessing the cabin area easy.
Parking the Typhon canb be a little on the tricky side. The drive position sits low and limits vision. Caution should be taken when judging the car’s extremities. The Typhon’s steering is light at low speeds and helps out a lot when parking.

TVR Typhon
The TVR Typhon provides an excellent driving experience. The Typhon delivers more than enough power and performance to satisfy even the most daring of drivers. The Typhon delivers the performance that has come to be expected from the TVR firm with excellent handling and a good deal of creature comforts as well.
The Typhon is not a family car. It only provides enough seating for two and has limited storage space. The Typhon like other TVR’s is not designed for families on a budget. There are more suitable family cars available but the Typhon would definitely be a fun third car to have around for a family who could afford it.
The Typhon is not a good first car either. There is too much power on hand and the Typhon is too expensive for most first time drivers. Even novice drivers who could afford the Typhon should find a more suitable first car to practice in.
TVR has an excellent reputation for producing beautiful performance cars. The firm has raised the bar a notch or two and is not only focusing on performance in their newest models but also on practicality. TVR’s are still super cars but with an extra touch here and there.
 Security and Safety
|
|
|
The TVR Typhon comes standard with a visible VIN plate, central locking, an engine immobilizer, and a security alarm. Given the car’s kerb appeal a visual deterrent and a tracking device may be a good idea too.
The Typhon’s standard safety features include side impact beams to help strengthen the car’s body in the event of a crash. The amount of safety kit is fairly standard for a car in this class.
