In 1997, TVR designed a high performance sports car based on the TVR Cerbera, the TVR Cerbera Speed 12. The car was intended to be both the world’s highest performance road car and the basis for a GT1 class endurance racer. However, due to the tightening of regulations in the GT1 class, it remained only as a racing car. In 2003, the manufacturer decided to make only one example of the road-legal 2000 TVR Cerbera Speed 12, and it is now offered at auction.

The TVR was introduced as a 2+2 coupe and was the brand’s first model with an engine produced by the company as opposed to using tuned engines from other manufacturers. The British magazine Evo wrote about this car in 2010, stating that the owner had tuned the V12 engine to 840 hp (618 kW).

The TVR Cerbera Speed 12 weighs less than 1,000 kg and is powered by a 7.7L V12 with 840 hp (618 kW) and 900 lb-ft (1,220 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. As a reminder, the standard model has 660 hp (492 kW).

This unique car is an extraordinary opportunity for all car collectors as well as those who want to become one. The auction will be held on May 20, 2023.
