The
2007 Marcos TSO GTC coupe is powered by a 6.0 litre aluminium
V8 from the Corvette. Available with either 420 horsepower in
standard form, or 462 horsepower with the optional performance
pack, the British-built TSO GTC sprints to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds.
Top speed is in excess of 185 mph.
By using a lightweight foam-core GRP composite body, and a spaceframe
chassis manufactured by race specialists Prodrive, the Marcos
TSO GTC offers superb intuitive handling. Over 150 upgrades
and changes have been made to the GTC based on customer feedback
and test results from the previous TSO coupe, the TSO GT2. This has resulted in a roomier interior
with better visibility, a stiffer and lighter body, and a specially
engineered exhaust note with a engine management system specifically designed for the car.
"The TSO's [GTC] combination of tuned V8 power and lightweight
design delivers both stunning performance and breathtaking sound
in a reliable, precision Engineered and affordable British Supercar,"
said Tony Stelliga, Marcos Engineering's Managing Director.
Only
50 - 100 TSO GTC's will be produced annually at Marcos Engineering's
facility in the UK.
