NIce looking vehicle . . .

Makes me think that these body lines would have evolved if you cross-bred the current model Cougar with a Viper . . .

As they say, "theres no replacement for displacement"

Does anyone else think that its odd how the brits tend to fail when it comes to mass produced performance vehicles, but they excel when it comes to being on top? This TVR has been known to run in excess of 200mph--even 250. For a naturally aspirated gasoline motor, this is beyond outstanding. 300 is the general mark for nitromethane force-induced burners. How many other 12-cylinder autos do you know that can run at airborne speeds? And this is just for the autos.

Many have considered the British Norton Nemesis, with its 235hp, 1497cc, V8 to be the world's fastest production motorcycle. It's not a drag bike, but it's just as mirror-less, with a rear mounted camera showing the past on a screen for the rider. Yes, its faster than the Suzuki Hayabusa, although testing cannot seem to produce a final maximum velocity, which exists somewhere beyond 220mph. There is even a 280hp Nemesis A, which I have no further data about.

What's with the funky white hex discs? Are those the brakes?

The old Speed 12 had more agressive styling. The head lights were different.

Yeah, the concept 12 looked mean as hell! It frightened me it looked so aggressive. I had nightmares for weeks.

Definitely. It also had completely blacked out tail-lights and headlights that looked awesome!

How could you compare such a masterpiece of design to a pair of vulgar, unrefined and poorly developed american suedo sports cars?

God I love these cars. Sometimes I wish a good American magazine such as Road & Track or Automobile would do a cover article... but then I realize every rich fob and his dog would own one, much like Ferrari's and Lambos.

Just look for TVR Cerbera on google images... you will spend the next half hour realizing just how much you need one of these cars. You will begin to see that you could drive it as a daily driver, it's not much more expensive for a late 90s Cerbera 4.2, than it is for a new Corvette. It's a 4 seater, which the Corvette is not... It turns heads like nothing else.
