TVR 420SEAC

The TVR 420SEAC was a sports car, the TVR in Blackpool ( England) from 1986 to 1988 produced. He is regarded as the ultimate wedge shape TVR - and was also the last of the wedge shape family. The 420SEAC differed from his brethren. The acronym SEAC stands for " Special Edition Aramid Composite " (Eng.: Special series of aramid composite ), which meant that more than 20 % of the body of aramid fibers was, while the bodies of the other wedge shape models were made of reinforced only with glass fiber plastic. The use of aramid made the car 100 kg lighter to have no influence on its torsional rigidity. This and the high-powered Rover V8 engine made the car extremely fast, but had its impact on the price that was at twice the price of a 350i. In addition, you can see the SEAC models on her big rear spoiler and the more rounded nose. Until 1988, when the 420SEAC was replaced by the even stronger 450SEAC, 40 copies were created.
