Word out of Holland -- and translated by Babelfish -- is that 40-year-old British car maker Marcos has gone bankrupt again. Most recently rescued in 2002, and headed by Tony Stelliga, a purported statement from the company cited an inability to get Marcos profitable or raise extra capital. There was no word on whether this would affect the racing division as well, which is based in the Netherlands.

If it's true, it's a shame to see the maker of the Manta Ray disappear again. The company just introduced its TSO coupe and convertible, powered by a Corvette engine and tuned by Prodrive, and it's probably the most elegant Marcos ever. Knowing Marcos' ability to repeatedly rise from the dead, it is entirely likely that we haven't seen the last of them just yet.

British sports car builder Marcos Engineering is set to unveil a its new TSO GTC model next week in London, ahead of the British Motor Show. Autocar reports that the GTC is a new version of the TSO GT2, priced in the neighborhood of $90,000.

The GTC is powered by a 6-liter Corvette V8, massaged to produce "a uniquely engineered exhaust note." With the GTC weighing in at a svelte 2,500 pounds, the 0-60 sprint takes only 4.2 seconds, with the 0-100-0 test requiring only 13.2 seconds.

The tubular spaceframe GTC chassis is built for Marcos by Prodrive, and the company is headquartered at the Prodrive campus in the British Midlands. Annual production of the new GTC is slated to be between 50 and 100 units, making it a very exclusive ride. More news after the unveiling - stay tuned!
