I think AF should design our own car to beat this time, and call it the AF roadster. We could design it all online! I bet that would break a record, fastest production car and first car where the designers didnt meet.

Well this car is in EVO magazine this month, in an interview with the TVR engine shop guy "Andy". What he says pretty much clears up any speculation of power figures, prices etc.. For the power figures, noone knows, the race cars were restricted to around 660 to 680bhp, but the fully unrestricted road car engine was only ever dyno'd once on TVR's 1000bhp dyno.......and it broke it. The torque from the engine snapped the input shaft to the dyno before a proper reading could be taken. The only way the car ever had a half accurate power figure was when the car was run seperately on 2 banks of cylinders, and each of the two banks was dyno'd seperately. From combining this TVR could only estimate the power, to be around 940bhp at 7200rpm.

And on it's price/availablilty. The owner of TVR drove the car once, and knew straight away the car was too dangerous. It was too powerful for its own good. Nearly 1000bhp in a car weighing just over a ton. So as for the rumours that one or two will be built per month for customers, its no longer true. The undisclosed number of cars already built have been locked away, and you will never be able to buy or drive a road going TVR Speed 12

Well if it is too powerful, with over 1000bhp, weiging just over a ton, then if you were to crash you would go home in a matchbox. With no airbags this would be a disasterous offering to the public. Imagine the insurance costs!!! Sad but you have to agree sensible.

Unhappy

well the insurance on one of the old minies for someone under 21 i £2,000 so for the tvr i cant even imagine howe much it will be. but i supoes someone who is ready to buy a car well over £100,000 is not going to worry about the insuarence .

Are you sure it is £2000!! I pay £1000 for my Jag!! and my wifes first car was a mini. On limited milage or expectancy of about 12k miles a year, it owuld cost a lot less than that... That is a true rip off.
