Like the Maserati GranTurismo and the Chevrolet Corvette, the TVR Griffith will have a fully electric version.
After disappearing from radar screens in the early 2010s, TVR is attempting a return with a new sports model: the Griffith. Introduced in 2017, this coupe will start its career with a powerful eight-cylinder combustion engine. But TVR has just announced that there will also be a fully electric version later on.
To develop its electric Griffith, the small British manufacturer will rely on its recent partnership with Ensorcia Metals Corporation, a company specializing in lithium extraction. In addition to its technological expertise, Ensorcia is also providing fresh funding. “Millions of pounds” assures TVR, without providing more details on the amount.
The injected funds will not only finance TVR’s push into the all-electric market. They are also meant to finalize the thermal Griffith, which has been awaited for several years now. Finally, TVR will dip into these millions of pounds to repay a debt contracted with the Welsh government.
A Truly Mysterious Electric Griffith
Technical specifications, launch date, price: almost nothing is known about the electric Griffith, except that it will be produced in limited quantities and will arrive “soon after” the V8 Ford version. Clearly, TVR no longer wants to make promises unless it is sure it can keep them.
Ambitions… and Challenges!
The announcement from TVR comes the day after Chevrolet’s, which officially launched both hybrid and fully electric versions of the Corvette. The idea of offering both combustion and electric versions of the same sports model also appeals to Maserati. Indeed, the Italian manufacturer will also offer a choice for the next generation of GranTurismo.
