Talking

atleast we know it would have whiped all the other cars in a race i mean have you ever heared of a car that is "too fast to drive"



i recon they should make a new car not the speed 12 they could call it the speed 13 and they could fix all the problems of the speed 12.

Red face

have you heared of the buggati veyron it is proberly the only car that could stand a chance in a race againts the tvr speed 12. it has 1001bhp
0-100km in 3.2 seconds 0-300km in under 14 seconds and a max speed of over 250 miles per hour. you might want too read that bit again.
BUT dont get your hopes up because it costs a whoping £750,000 and well over $1,000,000 thats £750 per 1bhp.

If TVR did sell to racers then they would probably make a few easy 10's of millions.

Menu I sent the EVO magazine...

1) I hurt my fingers playing 5's so the adress is a bit messy, but should do.
2) I fogot to right Germany, but did put Air Mail, which might have Germany on the sticker, and they can work out Worthsee i in Germany.
3) they only had normal large brown envelopes, no squidgy ones....

Hope it turns out all right!

I think that tvr only made 2 of the original Speed 12's, both with the 850bhp 7.7L engine, but that never went into production. They're both rotting in the backyard of the factory in Blackpool, cuz ive seen them, what a shame. The Cerbera Speed 12 has the same engine, but in a modified Cerbera shell, which means that the Cerbera Speed 12 isnt quite as fast as the original. Oh, and tvr have opened a factory in the states i think, though i dont know where. They used to be illegal due to US emission laws, but now the laws have been changed, tvr have started selling in the states again. They're really cheap as well, a cerbera speed 12 only costs £150k in england!

For a 1000+Bhp car? which would be one of the fastest in the world if made? thats cheap I assure you. That thing could kick the Enzo at three times the price!
