by The Future of TVR Griffith Becomes Reality
After eight years of waiting, the TVR Griffith sports car, first introduced in 2017, may finally enter series production. The delays were related to financial difficulties and uncertainty about the brand’s future.
New Owners and Plans
Charge Holdings, the parent structure of Charge Cars, has officially acquired TVR. This opens the way for the brand’s revival and the launch of the long-awaited Griffith. Charge Cars is known for its electric vehicles, including the 1967 Ford Mustang restomod.
Charge Holdings’ mission is to bring together iconic performance brands and world-class manufacturing expertise. This strategic merger with TVR is set to unite heritage with innovation, creating a new leader in the low-volume luxury automotive sector.
Primary Tasks
A multi-stage restructuring of TVR is planned, aimed at creating a new generation of British luxury cars. The immediate goal is to complete the development of the Griffith with an internal combustion engine and deliver it to customers who have been waiting for their orders for many years.
Technical Features and Challenges
The original Griffith was equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine from Ford, modified by Cosworth, with a power of 500 hp. However, the main challenge remains the car’s chassis. Gordon Murray’s iStream technology was initially used, but the rights to it now belong to Forseven, which was formed after the merger with McLaren. Charge Holdings will have to either develop a new platform or adapt an existing one.
Electrification Prospects
The new owners plan to expand the TVR model range with electric vehicles. This may include a sedan and an SUV, allowing the brand to compete in the modern market. More detailed official statements are expected in early 2026.
The acquisition of TVR by Charge Holdings could be a key step in reviving the legendary brand. Combining traditional technologies with innovations in the field of electric vehicles opens up new opportunities for the low-volume luxury car market. The success of this initiative will depend on the effectiveness of solving technical and organizational tasks, as well as on the support from car enthusiasts who have long awaited the return of TVR.
