The Vixen marks TVR’s return to inline-four engines. The Vixen shared its overall looks and architecture with the high-performance Tuscan. There were five versions of the Vixen – the S2, S3, and S4 all used the 1.6-liter Ford Kent unit with 87 to 89 horsepower. The 1300 came with a Triumph 1.3-liter inline-four and 75 horsepower while the 2500 came with a Triumph 2.5-liter inline-six and 106 to 150 horsepower, depending on the market and whether it was carbureted or fuel-injected. The Vixen S4 was the latest version of the car and was based on the new TVR M Series chassis. All versions used a Ford, four-speed manual with a synchro-mesh. In true TVR tradition, the Vixen was hand-built. The TVR Vixen had a total production run of 1, 029 cars.
