Anglo-Malaysian TVR ready soon

The first car to be made in Asia by British sports carmaker
TVR is set to roll out of its Malaysian factory this month,
according to the New Straits Times.

The company plans to make 1,000 Chimeras a year with the local
market getting 15 of these cars a month. The rest of the
vehicles, which use many local parts but get their engines and
transmissions from Britain, will be exported to other Asian
markets, possibly including Indonesia.

The small convertible soft-top is a two-seater roadster,
powered by a 4.0-liter V8 engine. With a light fiberglass body,
the car is capable of reaching a top speed in excess of 250kph.

The rear wheels are driven through a five-speed manual
transmission and interior features include an abundance of
leather and wood, sports seats and central locking/anti-theft
system.
