The TVR Tuscan Speed Six is a sports car designed by Damien McTaggart (exterior) and Paul Daintree (interior), its name pays homage to the original Tuscan which was introduced in 1967. The Tuscan Speed Six was introduced in 1999 while TVR was being run by Peter Wheeler, initially fitted with a e 4.0 litre version of the TVR Speed Six engine rated at 360 hp with the later Red Rose pack raising output to 380bhp bringing with it track-focused chassis upgrades as well as an AP Racing braking system. The high performance Tuscan S was the top-of-the-line model rated at 390 hp (395 PS) and had aerodynamic improvements over the base models, most notably a rear lip spoiler to improve downforce.
Five different in line six engine options were offered to customers. Four of these were variants of the 4.0 L Speed Six making different amounts of power and torque, depending on the trim level selected. The last was a 3.6 L Speed Six which produced the same amount of power as the lowest-level 4.0 L engine, although slightly less torque. With output ranging from 350bhp to 400bhp for the 4.0 S.
The Tuscan Speed Six underwent a facelift in 2005 and was now called the Tuscan 2. Exterior changes featured a redesigned front grille and headlamps along with more conventional taillamps. Mechanical changes involved revised spring rates, improved steering response and different suspension geometry to make the car easier to drive on public roads. The base models were detuned to 350 hp (355 PS) while still retaining the basic weight figure of 1,100 kg (2,425 lb). The interior was also refreshed and featured a more conventional and ergonomic layout.
