MARCOS TSO GT2 DEBUTS
Stunning 475bhp coupé makes first UK appearance

Marcos Engineering's new TSO GT2 coupé makes its world debut today at London's Canary Wharf Motorexpo, as the company announces the appointment of a new chief engineer.

The car is a race-bred GT, designed to deliver superb handling and performance. The 1150Kg car can accelerate to 60 mph in four seconds and to 100mph in nine seconds, with a top speed of 185mph. The GT2 also offers great handling with 50/50 weight distribution and a broad torque curve -- it can accelerate from 50 to 70 mph in only two seconds.

No, the Bristol Fighter is using the old Viper engine. The Marcos TSO is using the "old" GM LS2 engine from the C5 Corvette...
