TVR Chimaera Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1992–2003) — First Generation
The first-generation TVR Chimaera is a hand-built British roadster that pairs a lightweight fibreglass body with a large V8 up front, offering open-top driving with genuinely serious performance and an unmistakable exhaust note.
Every TVR Chimaera engine here is a naturally aspirated petrol V8, seen in examples such as the 4.0 MT, 4.3 MT and 4.6 MT. All drive the rear wheels through a manual gearbox, so larger capacity mainly buys stronger mid-range pull rather than a different driving character.
