It’s funny, this car was available to drive in Gran Turismo 2 and it was completely undriveable in the game as well. Even with suspension tuning, full downforce and the longest gear ratios and final drive the game would take, it would like the tires in 5th gear. I learned so much from trying to fix this car in the game, I was able to jump in and use an alignment rack when I started working on cars in real life.

They screwed up big time and drove the whole brand into the ground with cost cutting cheap materials on the speed six that this car was based on. They used cast engine internals and sub- recycled soda can alloy pistons that would break every 20-30k Miles with minimally spirited driving. I'm sure they went all out for these prototypes, as they did for the 6.

Nope, nope, nope. TVR could never achieve that. They built "track ready" cars not hypercars. Look at the frames under the Cerberas, look at the crude aero, look at the hardware on hand. The would never have geared it to be a high top speed car. It would have killed anyone who tried to pass 150 mph in it. They should have stuck with what they knew well. 1050-1200 kg, 350-500 hp thrill rides. This thing only helped their downfall. That could have been a happy niche for them a'la Donkervoort, or KTM automotive. I think the owner let his feelings get the better of him and he threw common sense out the window. It's a damn shame. I think the Sagaris was their winning formula, a car that will impress with performance even today.

Some people don't know how much safer modern vehicles are. Porsche 930 (Which is a 911 made between `74 and `89) had 282HP and it was nicknamed "The Widowmaker" because people were crashing them. 282hp on 1350kg is a lot! Imagine 1000hp on 1000kg. This is an insane amount of power for a 90s vehicle. Nowadays kiddos jump in 500-700hp cars, they punch the pedal and they get home safe and sound because modern cars have many safety features.

I can imagine if an untrained driver just pushed the gas on this thing a little too hard you'd spin out and crash at 100 mph immediately. RWDs are already the most dangerous drivetrain, especially one that weighs nearly nothing and puts out the power of a small airplane. they had seatbelts and airbags back then but they didn't often have stability control, collision detection cameras/auto braking, etc
@nugget6644
5 ай бұрын
@perkypears well, kinda. He'll crash, but not at 100mph. It's probably going to be at around 30-50mph. I don't know about which car you're speaking, but a small airplane has around 100-350hp so if you're talking about the Porsche, you're right. More than 350hp it's not going to be a small airplane (excluding those very few examples of modified small planes) Regarding the difficulty in drivetrains, I'd say that the motorcycle drivetrains are more difficult. The RWD is difficult, but it has two wheels moving and two additional keeping the car in place :D Of course, in practice, keeping a bike in place is easy when the rider has brains.

This generation is a widowmaker because of the turbo, which had so much lag that when it kicked in, it surprised drivers who were not prepared for such a long delay in the turbo's operation.

@TranceFur That's like saying firearms manufacturers are somewhat responsible for the shootings that happen. It's not on their conscience. We have free will. If someone chooses to be a dick, then that's on them. Not the manufacturer. I imagine he simply didn't see the point in making a car that the majority of owners would crash within the first week. Even though it's not a waste of the companies money, as they wouldn't be paying out, it makes sense that he figured it'd be best not to put it into production. If the power isn't really usable, then it's kind of a waste. So I think it's got less to do with him not wanting it on his conscience, and more to do with simply knowing that the power and torque were too great, and not user friendly. Pointless having such a beast if even on a track you can't really go past 1/3 throttle without spinning. Although there are definitely drivers out there that could peddle it and would enjoy the difficulty.

I saw this circa 2010 at the nec Birmingham with new owners and they were putting a Mercedes engine in it. I had a good conversation with it's the owner. I also saw it for sale on ebay and I one of the pictures it was setting a speed camera off in the picture. I'm also sure it was supposed to have 880 hp. Amazing dream car

I had a poster of the Speed 12 on my wall as a kid in the 90s. My uncle took me to the Factory in Blackpool and this was my “when I am bigger” car.

The owner of the company remembered he’s British and is on the decline. Hence the last minute decision to abandon glory. That car would have been a death trap like most of the super cars of that era. Difference is, those cars were actually made. In all seriousness, I’m sure this official story from TVR is just a coverup because in reality there’s no way that little outfit was gonna be able to produce dozens of those Cerbera Speed 12s. Way more complex than the cars they’ve been churning out at that point.

I'd imagine the truth is somewhere inbetween. A complex build with plenty of potential gremlins and it was like a kamikazi fighter with 4 wheels. Still a shame it never went into production properly, what a weapon.

The owner of TVR didn’t want the deaths on his conscience… He felt sure the Speed 12 would kill people, it was so raw. It would have been incredible converted to 4WD.

The Cerberus is the pancor jackhammer of the car world. Never went into production because it wasn't a good idea, but still ends up in every game.

I had a couple of tvr’s in the 90’s. Great cars, but for every hour on the road, they spent two on jacks with the bonnet up.

The McLaren F1 is a very tame, calm, and composed driving car. Even when you floor it, and drive it to its limits. So there was no way the Speed-12 would ever have matched it in any way, shape, or form. THATS why they cancelled its production. It was a P.O.S.

I like how unique and instantly recognisable all TVR models are. The second I saw the car I said "that's a TVR" they're unmistakable.

It was actually being developed for the GT1 race group. . But changing regulations and the fact that it was incapable of being a safe road vehicle killed it off. However it was used in the British GT championship a few times. They built 3
