TVR Chimaera

The TVR Chimaera is an open, two-seat sports car, the TVR in Blackpool ( England) produced from 1992 to 2003. The name is derived from the chimera, a monster of Greek mythology, which is composed of parts of different animals.

The car has the same central tube chassis and the same version of the Rover V8 engine as the Griffith. The Chimaera should be a touring car and was therefore longer, had more space and a slightly softer tuning than its sister model.
