Default TVR Speed 12

800 hp, 2200 lbs - pretty scary for a road car...

it has a 7.0L v12.
since there are rumor about a regular Cerbera can get to 190mph.

I won't doubt the speed 12 is a 200mph+ car.
very impress for a small sport car company.

It supposedly tops out at 240 mph, 0-60 in 2.7 sec if it makes much sense.
McLaren tops at 242 maybe due to slightly better aerodynamics or maybe gearing..
It must be difficult to fight against the cube of velocity at above 240mph

yea, Speed 12 is able to compare with McLaren. I don't care that 2mph slower, the speed 12 is alot alot cheaper than the McLaren F1.

Yup, only $245000! That's about quarter the price of the F1. Actually somebody told me he was trying to find a McLaren and could only find used one for $1.3M. Oops.

WOW!! Imagine seeing that in your mirror. It won't be for long if you do.

I've read about other cars that has more power than that stock. One of them is made by a company called "LOTEC" It suppose to have 1200+hp, and 1000+lbs./ torque. I could never imagine what it would feel like to drive one of those.
Another one is a new Bugatti Prototype with 1000+hp with a claim of 0-186mph in 14 sec. flat! Our cars would just hit about 100 mph and that car would already be at 186mph. WTF!!!!

I would probably never grasp the concept of driving a car that fast.
