TVR S3 V8 mieten
TVR hire
Rent a TVR S V8 and drive it yourself with unlimited kilometers!
Wolf in sheep's clothing probably sums it up best - many a well-heeled Ferrari customer only saw the TVR with the V8 engine from behind in the nineties. The super-light British athlete showed (and still shows today!) the colleagues from Italy where the hammer hangs. The TVR needs a strong grip - because: no power steering. Unlabeled switches and the gearshift knob that took some getting used to are evidence that at that time lightness, performance, fun and exclusivity were more important to the British than things like: Ergonomics, comfort or even perfectionism.

Our S-series TVR is one of the very rare ones with the 4 litre V8 engine! If the description "wolf in sheep's clothing" applies to a sports car, then to this rocket on wheels. In contrast to the TVR models before and after it, it has a decidedly classic design, no comparison to the wedge-shaped examples of the 1970s and certainly not as radical as the later TVRs, which are reminiscent of futuristic spaceships. The S model could be a modest, well-behaved and yet good-looking English roadster from MG or Triumph. But it isn't.
It has always been wicked, loud, and fast. In the 90s, it beat the Ferrari Testarossa, the Porsche 911 Carrera 2, an Aston Martin Virage or the Lotus Esprit Turbo with an acceleration of less than 5 seconds in the 0-100 km/h sprint, while costing only a fraction of its competitors. With its compact dimensions of just under 4 metres in length and less than 170 cm in width, it was as nimble as a weasel even in the corners, and thanks to its weight of less than 1000 kilograms, it was easy to brake much later than was necessary with its more expensive colleagues. These facts still apply today, and the small, loud and fast Brit is now available for hire from us!
Once you have settled into the cockpit of the S V8, everything feels like an unspectacular sports car of the 90s. Instruments and levers are more or less where you'd expect them to be - ok, the speedometer and rev counter are arranged in a funny way, and some unimportant switches for lights and heating pose little riddles, but everything is actually quite clear. The S V8 is pure understatement - woe betide you when you start the engine, everyone turns around and certainly doesn't suspect the sound in the little TVR... The V8 bubbles expectantly at idle, and as soon as the engine oil is up to temperature, it's ready to go. Torque without end and satisfied snoring from the exhaust when you lift the throttle-
As with our Super Seven or Cobra, the TVR is only suitable for experienced drivers who can control their throttle foot. There is no ABS or ESP, the brain must always be awake and too much cockiness is out of place on this racer!
When the sun is shining, the two Targa roof halves disappear into the boot, where there is then not too much room left for bulky luggage - but there is still room for a sports bag behind the seats. For the full roadster feeling, the rear part of the soft top is folded down with the rear window, and the open-air fun with V8 sound can begin!

A true pleasure!
Top organisation from A-Z.
The TVR is in excellent condition with beautiful patina.
We did 10 mountain passes in 1 day and enjoyed the great engine but also the amazing comfort.
The TVR S3 V8 sports car has several very good features that are appreciated when driving long distances. Driving the never-ending, very narrow hairpin bends and old narrow rock galleries of the Splügen Pass and Maloja Pass on the Italian side of the mountain, completely unhindered by other road traffic, with the V8 sound is a unique and unforgettable pleasure.
