The Touring V8 was a small, V8 powered convertible, with a space frame chassis, and fibreglass panels.
It was built by Touring of Barnsley, a company based in an industrial unit, producing limited run vehicles.
It was built to pitch into the market dominated by TVR, and the Griffith and Chimera.
It utilised a 4.2L naturally aspirate V8, producing 265hp and 277lb-ft of torque. It was paired with a 5 speed manual gearbox, and weighed only 1.1 tonnes, less than a Ford Fiesta. A lightweight car, with a lot of power meant that the vehicle rocketed to 60mph in under 5.5 seconds, and continued on to 180mph.
well i said how long it was gonna be … but yes well done (honestly) i accutally like the car because he refers to cars that are exactly what someone should base a car like that off. We will gloss over the fact that its a cappuccino
