Additional Notes

  • The TVR Tuscan Speed 6 Mk1 rear differential holds 1.6 liters across every listed configuration, spanning the 3.6-liter and all 4.0-liter variants from 1999-2005.
  • A 1.6-liter differential fill is a moderately sized capacity for a rear-wheel-drive sports car unit, consistent with a compact limited-slip or open differential housing rather than a larger transaxle assembly.
  • The check interval for the rear differential fluid is set at 20,000 km under normal use conditions across all five configurations, meaning the specification applies to standard road driving rather than track or high-stress operation.
  • The 3.6-liter (261 kW) and 4.0-liter (261 kW) variants share identical output figures despite the displacement difference, yet both carry the same 1.6-liter differential capacity and 20,000 km check interval.
  • The 4.0 Red Rose variant, rated at 283 kW and produced from 1999-2002, carries the same rear differential capacity and service interval as the higher-output 4.0 S variants produced from 2003-2005, despite the power difference between the two generations.
  • The two 4.0 S variants from 2003-2005 differ in rated output, at 291 kW and 298 kW respectively, yet both share the 1.6-liter capacity and 20,000 km check interval, indicating no differential hardware distinction is reflected in the fluid specifications between the two power outputs.
