YouTuber Shmee150 Buys 2018 TVR Griffith, Talks Ground Effect Aerodynamics

We're referring to Shmee150, one of the most famous automotive vloggers out there. Given the camera addict's nationality, it doesn't surprise us that he aims to sustain the revived marque.

As the vlogger explains in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page, he won't get to hoon the 500 hp naturally aspirated wonder until early 2019 - the aficionado mentions that the 200+ mph (make that 322+ km/h) car could also be delivered in late 2018.

When a Gordon Murray-designed chassis, which comes with ground effect aero magic, meets a Cosworth V8 and a stick shift, the recipe for driving engagement is guaranteed. Did we mention the mechanical handbrake? It's obvious that this two-seater was designed for tail-out shenanigans and it's impossible not to jump for joy when coming across so many old school driving elements.

As for the details of the £90,000 (that;s nearly $119,000) go-fast tool, Shmee zooms in on each and every one of them in the clip, which takes you to the launch event of the machine, which took place at the UK's Goodwood Revival. The video also allows us to check out the istream steel-carbon chassis and the 5.0-liter Ford Mustang block-sharing heart of the car, as displayed during the launch event.

Here's a nod to the British carmaker's velocity-loaded past

Now, since the British automaker has been in limbo for quite a while now, you might enjoy a bit of TVR history. Fortunately, we've got just the video for you, one that describes the pedigree of the brand using four cars. And yes, it all starts with the original Griffith.
