The only TVR Cerbera Speed 12 road car is up for grabs! This powerful machine is not for the faint of heart—even the marque's chairman found it too much to handle. Who will be the lucky new owner? TVR CerberaSpeed12 auction
TVR introduced a hard-top sports car with 2+2 seating called the Cerbera in 1996. The sleek coupe would serve as the basis for the Cerbera Speed 12—or, as it was originally known, the Project 7/12—a race car the company hoped would rival the McLaren F1 GTR, the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, and Porsche GT1, according to Top Gear. After these hopes were dashed by a change in racing regulations, the company turned its attention to building a road-going version of the vehicle.
Flip up the hood and you’ll find a front-mounted 7.7-liter V-12 that’s actually made from two of TVR’s AJP-6 straight sixes. The engine snapped an input shaft during the testing phase, so its unclear just how powerful it actually is, according to the auction house. Each of the straight sixes was capable of producing 473 hp by itself, suggesting a combined output of more than 940 horses. The closest TVR came to an official figure for the road car was 790 hp, though.
. No pre-sale estimate has been announced, though it seems safe to say that’ll it’ll take a fair bit of money to win this auction.
