Lagoo Posted December 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 Unfortunately the Speed 12 never made it into full production and has been superceded by the Cerbera Speed 12, but there were a couple made. It just sat around the factory in Blackpool doing nothing! I think Keith Flint from the Prodigy has one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted December 12, 2002 Report Share Posted December 12, 2002 THIS IS THE BADDEST TVR ever made damn, i love that baby!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfie Posted April 18, 2003 Report Share Posted April 18, 2003 The Speed 12 Actually Broke the Dyno (roling road thingy) and just before it did it Read Just over 1000BHP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted June 14, 2003 Report Share Posted June 14, 2003 To be fair it must have been a pritty crap rolling road becasue they have recorded power of weel over 1000bhp, using cars with turbo charged engines, and with the extra instant rush they give off, that must have far more strain on the dyno. If you get my drift. But yes one very sexy motor. You can actually buy them still, but wheeler advises customers not to buy them becasue he actually considers them dangerous. He dosent mind puttin ghtme in a showroom, but not as a road car. Bummer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drillslinger Posted December 10, 2003 Report Share Posted December 10, 2003 Yeah, but the 600 or so ft/lbs was the figure associated with the 800 hp, so I'd assume if they got over 200 extra hp, then they'd have a few more ft/lbs of torque as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted December 11, 2003 Report Share Posted December 11, 2003 Wasnt the 200 extra horses recorded at the flywheel though??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison1379134007 Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 you can still meassure flywheel output (albeit calculated by loss) from a rolling road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(re 'trying') [/ QUOTE ] 17mm of throttle travel = near whiplash 18mm of throttle travel = disipearing into the tyre smoke in the direction you just came from Was a gig put on by a UK magazine @ Thruxton (circuit). Did the slalom first, then practiced emergency braking in Chryler Neons (Neon's bend when exiting the Karussel at the Nurburgring). Then some lapping, again in the Neons followed by a number of laps in either the VV or GTS (miserly 430bhp +/-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted July 4, 2004 Report Share Posted July 4, 2004 Lagoo, I think you may have set a record, this thread says it has had 14000 views!! I googled 'TVR Cerbera Speed 12' and we are on the first page, perhaps an explanation. Oh, almost forgot, what a beast! Completely useless on the road, and for any track smaller than Silverstone for that matter too! Excellent PR for TVR no doubt. Ian C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
