The Tuscan Speed Six was introduced in 1999 and was available for media demonstration in 2000. The reason being then owner [[Peter Wheeler (TVR)|Peter Wheeler]] imposing a ban on press reviews of the car. Initially, the Tuscan Speed Six was fitted with the 4.0 litre version of the [[TVR Speed Six engine]] rated at {{convert|360|hp|PS|0|abbr=on}} at 7,000&nbsp;rpm and {{convert|420|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} of torque at 5,250&nbsp;rpm. Later, a Red Rose pack option raised the power output to {{convert|380|hp|PS|0|abbr=on}}, bringing with it track-focused chassis upgrades as well as an [[AP Racing]] braking system. The high performance Tuscan S was the top-of-the-line model rated at {{convert|390|hp|PS|0|abbr=on}} and had aerodynamic improvements over the base models, most notably a rear lip spoiler to improve downforce. 

The Tuscan Speed Six underwent a facelift in 2005 and was now called the Tuscan 2. Exterior changes featured a redesigned front grille and headlamps along with more conventional taillamps. Mechanical changes involved revised spring rates, improved steering response and different suspension geometry to make the car easier to drive on public roads. The base models were detuned to {{convert|350|hp|PS|0|abbr=on}} and {{convert|393|Nm|lbft|0|abbr=on}} while still retaining the basic weight figure of {{convert|1100|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}. The interior was also refreshed and featured a more conventional and ergonomic layout. Production lasted until the closure of TVR in 2006.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.evo.co.uk/tvr/tuscan/22788/tvr-tuscan-1999-2006-review-history-prices-and-specs|title=TVR Tuscan (1999-2006) – review, history, prices and specs|date=16 June 2019|first=Anthony|last=Ingram|publisher=[[Evo (magazine)|Evo]]|access-date=12 August 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.topgear.com/car-news/pioneers/top-gear-classic-road-test-tvr-tuscan-mk2|title=From the archives: TG vs the TVR Tuscan Mk2|date=8 September 2017 |publisher=[[Top Gear (magazine)|Top Gear]]|access-date=12 August 2020}}</ref>
