I had one of these. It looks fast, but handles like crap. The transmission
always stuck between third and fourth, and the back end would break loose around
every corner -- even in good weather.
Total piece of crap. Deadly at any speed.

The TVR Cerbera Speed 12, originally known as the Project 7/12 was a high
performance concept car designed by TVR in 1997. Based in part on then-current
TVR hardware, the vehicle was intended to be both the world's highest
performance road car and the basis for a GT1 class endurance racer. However,
problems during its development, changing GT1 class regulations and the eventual
decision that it was simply incapable of being used as a road car ended the
idea, forcing TVR executives to abandon its development.[citation needed]
The vehicle's engine, displacing 7.7 litres and having twelve cylinders, was
reportedly capable of producing nearly one thousand horsepower,[citation needed]
although an exact measurement was never made. Nonetheless, its performance was
said to be astonishing, and it may have been capable of hitting sixty miles per
hour in the low-three second range and have a top speed close to that of the
McLaren F1.[1]
