TVR flat plane crank engine really is something special

It uses a crankshaft that works as a straight line, a single plane of eight pistons working together.

Because of TVR`s flat-plane construction, the pistons are balanced and the engine vibrates less than in a cross-plane. Without the counterweight system, the vibration is still higher than in American cars, but petrolheads more than not appreciate this extra rumble.

In short … The engine can turn faster, and you can accelerate faster!
