The TVR Typhon was a sports car , which of TVR in Blackpool ( England was made) of 2004.

The Typhon is probably the fastest series TVR. Only the Cerbera Speed 12 prototype was faster.

Like all TVRs, the Typhon did not have electronic security systems because the company's owner thought his cars would be safer without these systems. It was powered by the same in-line six-cylinder Speed Six as its sister models Tuscan , Sagaris and Cerbera . The entire body was made of CFRP and not GFRP as with the other TVR. This enabled an extremely low power-to-weight ratio of just 1.89 kg / bhp (2.57 kg / kW). In addition, the body was designed using CAD software and manufactured using CAM . The rigidity of the construction has been increased by a roll cage and a sandwich floor with a honeycomb core . The Typhon was also the first TVR road vehicle to be fitted with adjustable shock absorbers that enabled customers to fine-tune the handling.
