Dream Track Car

TVR Speed 12. This is the second time in 3 years that this animal has come up for sale. LOL, perhaps it is simply too much car.

I have an article of it from EVO magazine, they say its not too bad once you warm up the fresh slicks and only running the detuned ecu setting. LOL, TVR did truly build the bad bay supercar

"It is a one off, horribly dangerous and ugly/beautiful as hell. Torque of the Devil."

[Yawn]

Looks bloody hardcore, any specs on it? Im not familiar with TVR cars

[giant]

i cant even imagine what that car would be like!! awsome!

[Whiplash]

Thats John Reid's car (ex director of TVR motorsport back in the day) He actually has a pair that are both up for sale. I love the last quote in the add "Torque of the Devil."

It should, John and co built this car with 1 target -- McLaren F1

7.7L V12

approx 880HP

881Nm

1000Kg's

hopefully the racing one will make an appearance in the FIA GT90 competition and play with the McLarens, F40, Porsche GT1's.

and they have a sense of humor

Ever since about 1993 when i saw and heard a TVR Griffith 500 i have loved TVRs. I hope to bring back a V8 Cerbera back from the UK with me as a private import next year. Dont think i will earn and save enough to stretch it to a Sagaris

a friend of mine has a cerbera and its insanely fast and sounds fantastic

I wouldn't mind converting a Tuscan into a drift car to compete in DA

i can get you a rolling chassis and everything needed to make a racing car. I have done a bit of work for TVR motorsport and know them pretty well (including john who is selling the speed 12)

[Ant97GTR]

I have always liked the TVRs as they have always been a raw sports car with entertaining (read oversteer ) handling, good power and great sound. The speed 12 is just off tap!

Not to put a downer on your dreams there mate but to my knowledge you can't actually get one on the road here in Vic due to some BS reason that they don't have a collapsable steering column Not sure if this applies to a personal import though...

I'm a fan of TVR's, very cool cars. Don't think too much of their interiors though...

They were an absolute dime a dozen at Le Mans, I was amazed at how many there were in the carpark/camp sites. Most common car their it seemed.

One for you Troy

I have to laugh at what Jeremy Clackson said about TVR "TVR seem to build a car, Put in into production, Then Find out what they Handle like"

But...I wouldnt say no to owning one, Id just give it to SK for a week and say "make it steer properly"

Tuscan for me too thanks. only thing I'd replace the 350z with.
