These cars will be returning to showrooms soon…
There are many iconic cars which have sadly gone out of production in recent years. Many car marques also have too. Car marques which are now defunct include: Pontiac, Saab, Mercury, and Hummer (GMC then became their successor).
Now, for many fans of such brands, it would have been very upsetting to hear they've stopped production. However, there is still hope! For example, check out TVR - TVR Motors Company Limited was founded in 1946, and the original TVR Griffith was put into production from 1991-2002. Soon after, TVR stopped production altogether. Then in 2013, TVR was founded again (this time as: TVR Automotive Limited), by a syndicate of British business men (led by Les Edgar). Now, we're set to see a whole new TVR Griffith put into production...
TVR Griffith
The new TVR Griffith has got tongues wagging, that's for sure. Back in September 2017, a new TVR Griffith was revealed at the Goodwood Revival (under the recently revived TVR marque). It just so happens that it was the marques 70th anniversary year too. Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not.
According to the TVR website, the new model is going to have a 5.0 litre V8 engine which produces 500bhp. It's also going to have a 6-speed manual gearbox. These aspects, together with a custom clutch, flywheel, and ECU, work well in delivering an impressive 400bhp per tonne power-to-weight ratio.
Production is said to begin later this year, with prices starting at £90,000.

Toyota Supra
The exact release date of the new Toyota Supra is yet to be confirmed. The all-new 2019 Toyota Supra is already set to reignite the passion first installed into the hearts of many, before it went out of production 16 years ago. Despite this, the love for the Supra has never really passed. The Toyota Supra is an iconic car. For many, this is due to their robust engines. A Supra engine is renowned for achieving a ridiculous amount of power through tuning / modification - no need for an engine swap!
It's also worth noting that the car is being developed in conjunction with BMW.
On numerous occasions, the car has been pictured in testing form. The exact styling and final design is yet to be officially released by Toyota.
