The TVR Griffith is a sports car built under a revived TVR brand in 2018, after the first generation's production ended in 2002.
Overview[]
- Text originally from the TVR Griffith's Wikipedia page.
On 8 September 2017, to coincide with the marque's 70th anniversary year at the Goodwood Revival, a new Griffith was revealed under the now resurrected TVR marque, featuring design work by Gordon Murray. It features a Cosworth modified Ford Coyote 5.0-litre V8 engine producing 500 bhp (507 PS; 373 kW), double wishbone suspension with adjustable coilover dampers, a carbon fibre ground effect chassis. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in approximately 4 seconds and can achieve a top speed in excess of 322 km/h (200 mph).
The new Griffith retains the manual transmission as used in the previous TVR models making it a proper driver's car but includes ABS, power steering and traction control as standard in order to handle the high power output and keep the car stable at high speeds. The extensive use of carbon fibre helps save weight and as a result, it weighs less than 1,250 kg (2,756 lb) with a 50:50 weight distribution achieved through the Griffith's architecture of aluminum and carbon fibre components which improves handling. Design elements such as large front air intakes, front splitter and rear integrated diffuser help in increasing aero dynamics while the double side exhausts and a double bubble roof add to the car's purposeful look.
Inside the car, a driver-focused setup is kept in mind with a digital instrument cluster providing useful information and minimum controls present on the steering wheel and dashboard. Air conditioning, leather interior trim and multimedia system come as standard as well. The Griffith is likely to start production in 2019 with an initial run of 500 Launch Edition (LE) cars and a price tag of ₤89,995.
Asphalt Legends Unite (formerly Asphalt 9: Legends)[]
The TVR Griffith was added in the Tune It Up Update as a high D Class car with the following rank statistics:
- Stock rank: 1,307 ( 30)
- rank: 1,630
- rank: 2,001 ( 23)
- rank: 2,381 ( 32)
- rank: 2,751 ( 42)
- () rank: 2,907 (+156)
Performance[]
At its stock rank, the TVR Griffith has a top speed rating of 322, poor acceleration (64) and handling (39.11) ratings with a wide drift radius, and a very poor nitro efficiency rating (17.02). Despite having a top speed much higher than most other Class D cars, even without the use of nitro, the Griffith's performance in all other respects is abysmal—it takes a long time to reach top speed even in a straight line, and its poor handing causes the Griffith to slow down on slight bends, and lose a huge amount of speed when drifting, turning sharp corners and driving on rough surfaces. The Griffith is also poorly served by its extremely low nitro efficiency, which makes it deplete a full nitro bar almost instantly, especially when shockwave is active.
The TVR Griffith's upgrades give the greatest improvements to its nitro efficiency, followed by top speed, then handling, with the least increase to acceleration. Once upgraded, the Griffith's vastly improved nitro efficiency gives it better bursts of acceleration and allows it to maintain its speed while driving over short segments of rough surfaces. While it is still deficient in terms of acceleration and handling, the Griffith gets sufficient improvements in both aspects so it can reach its top speed faster and lose less speed when cornering or drifting.
At MAX rank, the TVR Griffith is the fastest Class D car, with a top speed of 352 km/h (219 mph) when nitro is active, and a maximum airspeed of 458 km/h (285 mph).
Usage[]
The TVR Griffith is essentially an upgrade to the Porsche 911 Targa 4S, having a higher top speed and better handling while having much slower acceleration. It excels on tracks such as Himalayas and Cairo, where top speed is favored, but will struggle on tracks which require more acceleration, handling, and nitro, such as The Caribbean and Osaka.
The TVR Griffith is a risky pick in Multiplayer World Series. Its poor acceleration gives the Griffith poor starts, and it is largely incapable of holding its position in most races. Unless it is already ahead of the pack on tracks with lots of straights, its extreme top speed is made useless by its poor nitro efficiency, which makes it vulnerable to knockdowns from cars, while passing on the straight or being passed around corners.
In Weekly Competition events, the TVR Griffith can easily clear the solo reward of winning the race, which rewards 
tokens up to 3 times, on locations with long straights and fewer corners, which allows it to get up to and maintain its top speed. In addition, due to it having the highest top speed among all Class D cars, the Griffith is the dominant car used on Himalayas, Scotland, Shanghai, and Greenland, filling out nearly the entire top 100 leaderboard on these locations, even with the introduction of newer cars.
Availability[]
As of the Asphalt Legends Unite Expansion Update, blueprints for the Griffith are obtainable when the player has a level 5 garage. It can also be unlocked in many events, including its own Car Hunts.
