By 2007, Marcos were still not building and selling cars in the sort of volume to keep the company viable. The 2007 Marcos TSO GTC coupe was powered by a slightly larger 6.0 litre aluminium V8 again from the Corvette. It was available as either 420 horsepower unit in standard form, or with 462 horsepower when the optional performance pack was fitted. The TSO GTC could reach 60 mph in 4.1 seconds. Just 0.1s slower but the estimated top speed was now a mind blowing 185+ mph. The + is the important bit!
The gearbox was a Tremec T56, as fitted to the Corvette, Viper and Aston. Brakes were AP racing, 4 pot on the front with vented cross drilled and grooved discs, to the rear were fitted 2 pot ventilated discs.
By using a lightweight foam-core GRP composite body, and a spaceframe chassis manufactured by race specialists Prodrive, the Marcos TSO GTC offered superb intuitive handling. Over 150 upgrades and changes were made to the GTC based on customer feedback and test results from the previous TSO coupe, the TSO GT2.
