Default is TVR Cerbera that fast????

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMsuPpAbT0U

I have a feeling that something is going wrong here....

especialy when the TVR overtakes at full throttle all othar car (including 993TT!!!!) in such a way...

having in mind that this is a JeremyClarkson's production video (british....) and TVR's are British...I assume that somewere there is a cheat over here....

I have no prob with British people,My best freind is british, and Britain gave me the opporunity-education to become an Architect (spent 8 years in UK studying).....which I totally respect...

any thoughts on the video?

Yes, it is that fast.

However, mine spends most of it's life on axles stands. But the days when it's working properly are sublime.

Absolutely, a load of power and very light, if you can get it to finish a race its going to be fast.

They made a faster version but never released it for sale because the boss of TVR was worried that too many people would crash them

It's a cool car





But it rarely works so my 928 is sometimes recalled from retirement





And recently my mate lent me his Integra, very competent but not quite so quick

Thread resurrection! Let's see, the weakest of the Cerberas is ~6.9 lbs/HP, while the strongest is 5.6 lbs/HP. The only way it would NOT destroy all the other cars in that race would be if it broke down. That thing is probably even lighter than a Miata with a small block V8 shoehorned in.
