Model year changes

[edit]

The Chimaera was originally intended to replace the Griffith but sufficient demand for both of the models led TVR continuing them. In 1994, TVR introduced the Chimaera 500, a high performance derivative of the Chimaera. The BorgWarner T5 manual transmission replaced the Rover LT77 unit on the rest of the range. A new alternator, power steering and a single Vee belt were fitted to improve reliability. The 4.3 litre engine option was replaced by the 4.0 litre High Compression option. The Chimaera was mildly updated in 1996. Updates included a rear bumper shared with the Cerbera, push button doors with the buttons located under the wing mirrors, a boot lid shared with the Cerbera and the replacement of the front mesh grille with a horizontal bar. The GKN differential was also replaced by a BTR unit.

A 4.5 litre model was added to the lineup in 1997. It was originally intended to be fitted with the AJP8 V8 engine but due to the engine not being ready on time, a bored version of the Rover V8 was used instead. In 1998, the rear light styling and the number plate mounting angle was updated while the base 4.0 litre model was discontinued. In 2001, the Chimaera was again facelifted and now featured the Griffith's headlights as well as seats from the Cerbera. The Chimaera was succeeded by the Tamora in 2002.[2][3][4]

The TVR Chimaera is a two-seater manufactured by the British automaker from 1992 to 2003. Featuring a fibreglass body and powered by tuned V8 engines in displacements of 4.0, 4.3, 4.5, or 5.0 litres producing between 240 and 340 horsepower, it combined high performance with enhanced practicality over its predecessor, the , through a longer , softer suspension, and more spacious interior. As TVR's best-selling model, approximately 5,300 units were produced, marking it as a pivotal vehicle in the company's lineup during a period of expansion under owner Peter Wheeler. Developed by Wheeler and chief designer John Ravenscroft, the Chimaera was introduced at the 1992 British International Motor Show as TVR's effort to appeal to a broader audience seeking a refined rather than a pure track-focused . It shared its core chassis architecture with the Griffith but featured a stretched body for improved legroom and luggage space, along with a more compliant ride tuned for long-distance touring. Early models used a Rover LT77 five-speed , which was replaced in 1994 by the more robust Borg-Warner T5 unit to handle the V8's torque. The car notably lacked electronic aids like anti-lock brakes or traction control, emphasizing raw driving engagement, though became optional from 1995. The Chimaera was offered in several variants reflecting engine upgrades and minor styling revisions. The initial Chimaera 400 (1992–1993) used a 4.0-litre V8 with 240 bhp, achieving 0–60 mph in 5.1 seconds and a top speed of 151 mph. This was followed by the 400HC in 1993, boosting output to 275 bhp for a 0–60 mph time of 4.7 seconds. Early options included the 4.3-litre (280 bhp, 0–60 mph in 4.6 seconds) and later the 4.5-litre (285 bhp), while the range-topping 5.0-litre model from 1994 delivered 340 bhp, 0–60 mph in 4.1 seconds, and a top speed of 175 mph. Facelifts in 1996 revised the front grille and lighting, and a 2001 update modernized the headlights and taillights, with production ceasing in 2003 amid TVR's shift toward newer models like the Tuscan.

Conception and design

In the early , sought to evolve its lineup toward more refined sports cars suitable for , capitalizing on the success of the Griffith model introduced in 1991, which had revitalized the brand's reputation for high-performance vehicles. This shift emphasized balancing raw performance with enhanced comfort and practicality, positioning the Chimaera as a more accessible grand tourer within 's portfolio. The Chimaera's design was led by owner Peter Wheeler and chief designer John Ravenscroft, who aimed to create a more restrained aesthetic compared to the aggressive Griffith while retaining the brand's signature style. Conceptual development began in 1991, focusing on long-distance usability through a of 2,286 mm, shared with the Griffith, to improve interior space and touring comfort without sacrificing agility. The adopted a backbone frame shared with the Griffith but featured softer tuning via Bilstein dampers and a rear for a more compliant ride. The lightweight body, weighing around 1,060 kg at the curb, contributed to the car's nimble handling while providing a sleek, open-top roadster profile with two seats optimized for driver and passenger . For powertrain integration, the initial choice was the , selected for its proven reliability, tunability, and ability to deliver outputs ranging from 240 to 340 horsepower, ensuring a blend of effortless performance and everyday dependability suitable for extended journeys. This engineering philosophy prioritized modular components from the Griffith, allowing TVR to refine the into a versatile by the time production commenced in 1992.

Launch and initial production

The TVR Chimaera made its public debut at the 1992 Motor Show in , where it was presented as a refined open-top roadster ready for production. Priced at approximately £25,000 for the base model equipped with the 4.0-litre V8, it attracted significant interest from enthusiasts seeking a balance of performance and usability. Production commenced later that year in , , at TVR's facilities, where vehicles were hand-assembled in small batches—a hallmark of the company's low-volume manufacturing approach. This setup allowed for customization but relied heavily on skilled labor for constructing the bodies and integrating components on the shared derived from the Griffith. Positioned as a , the Chimaera targeted buyers desiring greater comfort and practicality for extended journeys compared to the more track-focused Griffith, featuring softer suspension tuning and additional interior space. Early manufacturing faced hurdles, including intermittent supply constraints for the tuned Rover V8 engines from and variability in fiberglass body quality due to the hand-laid process, which occasionally led to inconsistencies in panel fitment and finish. By the mid-1990s, production had ramped up sufficiently to reach the milestone of 1,000 units built, underscoring the model's growing popularity and TVR's ability to scale hand-built operations amid rising demand.

Specifications

Engine and drivetrain

The TVR Chimaera utilized a series of Rover-sourced aluminum V8 engines, extensively tuned by TVR for improved power and responsiveness, all featuring multi-point fuel injection and a focus on high-revving characteristics up to 6,500 rpm. The base engine was a 3.9-liter (later badged as 4.0-liter) unit delivering 240 horsepower at 5,250 rpm and 270 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm, providing strong low-end pull suitable for the car's lightweight construction. In 1994, a high-compression variant of the 4.0-liter engine was introduced, boosting output to 275 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 305 pound-feet at 4,200 rpm, enhancing mid-range acceleration without significantly altering the engine's compact dimensions. Larger displacements followed to meet demand for greater performance. The 4.3-liter V8, offered briefly in models, produced 280 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 305 pound-feet at 4,000 rpm, emphasizing torque delivery for spirited driving. From 1996, the 4.5-liter engine became standard, generating 285 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 310 pound-feet at 4,500 rpm, with tuning refinements including revised profiles for smoother power progression. The optional 5.0-liter V8, available from 1994 and standard on later high-performance variants, offered the highest output at 340 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 320 pound-feet at 4,000 rpm, enabling the Chimaera's most potent configurations. These engines shared a common architecture derived from the Buick-derived V8 block, but TVR's modifications—such as ported heads, larger valves, and custom exhaust systems—elevated their specific power density while maintaining reliability under track conditions. Performance metrics varied by engine size, underscoring the Chimaera's credentials with rapid acceleration and high top speeds. The 4.0-liter models achieved 0-60 mph in 4.7 to 5.1 seconds and top speeds of 152 mph, while the 4.5-liter variant improved to 4.7 seconds and 158 mph. The 5.0-liter engine delivered the quickest sprint at 4.1 seconds to 60 mph and a top speed of 175 mph, with figures across the lineup ranging from 270 to 320 pound-feet providing consistent thrust. Fuel economy reflected the engines' thirsty nature, averaging 15-20 in combined driving, though extra-urban figures could reach 25 on longer motorway runs when driven conservatively. The drivetrain was , channeling power through a introduced in 1996 for better traction on uneven surfaces. Early models (1992-1994) used the LT77 five-speed , noted for its robustness but occasionally vague shift feel under hard use. From August 1994, this was replaced by the T5 five-speed manual as standard, offering crisper changes and greater durability for the increased power outputs; an optional six-speed manual became available in 1998 for enhanced highway cruising. All transmissions featured a lightweight aluminum housing and were paired with a TVR-specific shifter linkage for precise control. Maintenance for the Rover V8 in TVR applications required diligent care due to the engines' tuned state, with camshaft wear emerging as a common issue if oil changes were not performed every 6,000 miles using high-quality synthetic lubricants. Timing chain stretch, leading to rattles on overrun or at idle, was another frequent concern unique to these high-revving installations, often necessitating replacement around 60,000-80,000 miles to prevent valvetrain misalignment.
