820bhp...Twice the power to weight ratio of a Bugatti Veyron! British Beef at its best.
TVR Speed 12 'Road Car'
Legends are proud to offer the iconic TVR Speed 12 'Road Car' for sale.
With its awe-inspiring looks and astonishing performance, the Speed 12
is one of the most memorable hyper cars ever produced.
Four racecars were built, whilst the road car was always evolving in
the background. There were supposed to be a number of road cars built
to homologate the racecars and also to sell to the public however this
never happened as the car was felt to be far too fast to sell to the
general public and hence only one road car was ever built.
The car was used very sparingly by TVR as a major PR device (i.e.
Goodwood Festival of Speed, etc.), then sold to the current owner in
Sept 2003 who then spent 3 years further developing it with TVR. The
last iteration of the engine used heads developed by Dallara, full
carbon-fibre body work, a brand new latest-spec Hollinger sequential
flat-shift gearbox and the whole rear end of the car was rebuilt using
all titanium parts.
The car has been used about 5 times - The drive through London (where
it made the 6 O'clock ITN National news) on the way to the Sony
(Polyphony) Gran Turismo 4 launch (Sony based all of the visuals and
sound of the car on this Speed 12), the test that was done by EVO
magazine, the drive up the hill at the Goodwood Festival of Speed with
Tiff Needell driving.
It is believed that there is one racecar that went directly from the
factory to Japan but without an engine. The other three racecars were
destroyed. That means there are two cars left, one racecar in Japan and
the only road car, which is offered here.
Weight 950kg. An under stressed 820bhp and 650 ft lbs of torque. Twice
the power to weight ratio of a Bugatti Veyron! British Beef at its
best. Beautifully engineered and absolutely on the button. Please
