Cosworth tuned NA Coyote making 500bhp+

[kapiteinlangzaam]

As to be found in the new TVR Griffith.

What do we reckon... non DI or DI, other mods apart from ECU tuning, all a load of hot air?

Interesting none the less and potentially some more performance parts for us!

Well... I assume it'll have a bit better supporting mods around it and a more aggressive race tune than the GT has... As people over here been making 500 with a few mods, it's doable I guess... If it's literally a lift and shift version of the coyote engine, be hard to hit 500 in it...

But you know, manufacturers love to overstate.

Not really spectacular as Gibbo made 516 with the 350IM and a tune. Add headers and that would've been a solid 530 I would've thought.

Think Cosworth have been brought on board for the kudos rather than eeking out the last possible hp. Plus this car is likely twice the price.

Haha I just made a thread too, DOH.

Gen2 can do 500HP NA with headers and better intake manifold with a tune for RON99 fuel. Still its quite a push if you ask me to achieve this on a larger scale, but absolutely possible as TVR would be ordering engines, they could then take their pick of intake manifold and on the Coyote you can use the F150, Mustang GT, GT 350, BOSS 302, Cobra Jet manifolds all bolt up to the Coyote engine.

If its a Gen3 Coyote than 500HP is a walk in the park with just a tune.

Cosworth isn't the type of company to just use their badge as lip service then walk away with just a tune and nothing else. I'd wager they've built it up to make it bullet proof.

Cosworth have had the engine for several years, so it's not a Gen 3. However, breathing, exhaust etc are all new and bespoke, so 500hp is not a stretch.

Yep just found an image, its gen2 so yeah intake manifold, headers will see it at 500HP, plus anything else Cosworth may have done to push it comfortably over the 500 mark.

£90K apparently. And it's even uglier front-on than a MY18 ;)

Yep, not as pretty as the older TVR's IMO.

Says they shifted 500 "launch edition" units already though, the collectors/enthusiasts must be going nuts for it!

Having owned an 04 Tuscan I was looking forward to this.
However I am underwhelmed, it is too generic for me .It could be a Jag/supra/sls etc.When the Cerbera came out it was unique in appearance,sort of car the devil would drive.The Tuscan was also unique along with the TVR engine(non tvr engineer designed) ,albeit early ones a bit chocolate.Personally I wanted to be shocked by the new ones wild appearance but it most defnitely has not worked for me.Ford crate engine lightly breathed on is ok but again a little lacking in soul.The Letters TVR on the bonnet could read any number of manufacturers based on its looks.

Only the opinion of an old git.;)

I work for Cosworth and have been involved on the TVR project, there are a few left over development parts that may end up on my car.....but warranty paranoia sets in.

For confidentiality reasons, I'm not allowed to answer any questions though.

Not going to post this as a question. But I'm going to take these off you and see what I can do to them...

(See if it was a question it'd sound much more polite)

Fk warranty, just do it.

Someone looks to have dived in to a few manufacturer's parts bins, put them together and come up with that design....I see mazda, toyota, mercedes to name a few!!

Also note the:

- EU spec wing mirrors
- Ford/Mustang steering wheel stalks
- Mustang AC vents

One of the major pieces of work shown at the reveal for deposit holders and dealers (yes we're one of those) was the dry sump installation which will allow TVR to keep the engine as low in the chassis as possible.

Of course there's always the option to add a supercharger to a Coyote too - 650hp in that would be something else.
