1999 90s nineties Silver Grey Tvr Chimaera Blackpool built Britsh roadster; at the Classic & Performance Motor Show at Hoghton Tower; Supercar Showtime June 2023
The Chimaera was a retro-styled roadster, somewhat resembling the S Series that was named after a creature from Greek mythology. It shared a chassis with the 1991-2002 Griffith and had the same Rover V-8 engine options, with an output ranging from 240 to 340 horsepower and 270 to 350 pound-feet (366 to 434 Nm). Like the TVR Griffith, the TVR Chimaera also had a 500 version, which was the most powerful of all, and swapped the Rover five-speed for a stronger Tremec T5 unit. In 1996, the Chimaera underwent something of a facelift, with the wire front grille being replaced by a split-intake design. With 5,256 units produced over a nine-year production run, the Chimaera was more mass-produced than the Griffith.
