TVR 400 Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1989–1993) — First Generation

The first-generation TVR 400 is a lightweight British Roadster built around a big-capacity V8 and a fibreglass body, offering the kind of raw, unfiltered driving experience that heavier modern sports cars rarely deliver.

TVR 400 Engines and Transmissions

A representative example of the TVR 400 engine is the 4.0 MT Roadster: a four-litre petrol V8 with a manual gearbox sending drive to the rear wheels. That classic powertrain layout rewards deliberate gearshifts, and the drivetrain's simplicity keeps weight low and responses immediate.
