I dont know if anyone's seen this yet. But this car is pretty sweet. I wonder what the price tag will be of that or if it will be released to the public... Its a short vid... But i thought id share it.

A couple quotes from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVR_Speed_12

......said that TVR had tried to record the car's power on an engine dyno. The dyno was rated at 1000 bhp but the test resulted in the dyno's input shaft being broken......


....Peter Wheeler drove one of the finished prototypes home and he concluded that the car was unusable on the road. It was simply too powerful, Wheeler was no newcomer to high performance cars, he even raced in the TVR Tuscan challenge for a number of seasons.

So sadly, no this car won't see production.

Its kind for funny you posted this because I accidentally happened across the speed 12 while browsing the internet only a few weeks ago.

They did say on top gear once that TVR had a new owner and that his vision was to see TVRs sold in every major world market, i.e. the US

I remember that car in GT2... was an absolute MONSTER. 1k+ N/A horsepower, would light up the tires at almost any speed under 150. Useless for racing, but damn fun to have high speed pulls with ghosts of other cars =D
