Additional Notes

  • The TVR Tuscan Speed 6 Mk1 cooling system capacity is 12 liters across all five configurations spanning the 1999-2005 production period, covering both the 3.6 and 4.0 engine variants as well as the higher-output Red Rose and S trims.
  • A 12-liter cooling system capacity is relatively substantial for a two-seat sports car, reflecting the thermal demands of a high-displacement inline-six engine operating at elevated power outputs.
  • The 3.6-liter variant producing 261 kW and the 4.0-liter variant also rated at 261 kW share an identical 12-liter cooling system capacity, despite the difference in engine displacement.
  • The 4.0 Red Rose, rated at 283 kW and produced during 1999-2002, carries the same 12-liter cooling system capacity as the lower-output 4.0 variant, even though power output is notably higher.
  • The 4.0 S configurations from 2003-2005, rated at 291 kW and 298 kW respectively, also share the 12-liter cooling system capacity, indicating a consistent system architecture across the S trim's power variants.
  • All five configurations specify a coolant change interval of 40,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, meaning the interval is governed by whichever threshold is reached first.
  • A 48-month maximum interval means coolant replacement is due at least every four years regardless of mileage accumulated, which is consistent with the degradation of coolant additives over time independent of vehicle use.
