You can count the number of road cars that have had all-carbonfibre bodywork on the fingers of one hand - Mclaren F1, Ferrari F40 and now TVR T440R. More usually found in the aerospace or motorsport industries, this material is expensive but is extraordinarily light and strong.
Aerodynamics have played an increasingly significant role in the design of TVRs over the last few years and the T400R and T440R take this to the logical next level. A lot of attention has been paid to drag and lift with the result that its coupe shape owes most of its form to the demands of the aerodynamicists. A phenomenally low drag co-efficient of 0.32 is the result of all this attention to detail and its virtually flat floor, front splitter and rear diffuser work together to give it unparalleled high-speed stability.
