"Baby Face"| Tera Front Engined Variation - As an entry level car, the Tera would need to not look intimidating to first time TVR customer.
Some cars in this segment look cutesy or gutless (MX5, Elise etc.) This car needed to be muscular to appeal to the more macho image of TVR, but offsets that aggression with a crocodile tears demeanour.
"Baby Beastie" | Tera Mid Engined Variation - The success of the compact mid engined lightweight sports car over the years can not be denied or ignored.
This version of the design has an evolution of the TVR Griffith open mouth and spotlights with a reference the "Dog Bite" intakes as seen on the Cerbera and Chimaera before it.
"Another Wee Beastie" | Tera Mid Engined Variation "Long nose" - A second variation of the open mid engined concept:
This version sports an evolution of the TVR T350 style "long nose" with the bonnet surface pulled all the way down and under the front of the car.
"No Messing!" | Tera Mid Engined Variation - A mid engined car obviously needs a lot of cooling.
The Tera may approach with crocodile tears, but as it overtakes and tears off up the road it will leave it victims in no doubt that it means business.
With massive grille vents and substantial Venturi duct, the rear end styling is very definitely form following function.
"Ready for work" | Tera Speedster Interior - This interior concept is designed to put the composite tub structure of this variant on show.
The exposed skeleton of the car partially obscured by the upholstered sinews over the seats, tunnel-top and door cards providing the occupants' points of contact with isolation from the hard, working parts of the car.
"Kid Sagaris" | Tera Front Engined Variation - Another front engined Tera variant, this time drawing on influences from the Sagaris and Griffith.
This is a mischievous character, whose innocent eyes are betrayed by his hunkered down shovel nosed stance. A baby dragon, endearing but may bite you if you turn your back.
"Open and Closed case" | Tera Front Engined Variation - The "Mythological Mechanical Animal" surface language is extrapolated and explored in the flanks and haunches of the Tera, with a similar effect to BMW's flame-surfacing with an organic and very British twist, here shown in coupe and spider forms.
