TVR Cerbera Speed 12
C'erano ambizioni, c'era audacia. C'era la volontà di spingere i limiti oltre ogni confine conosciuto. La TVR Cerbera Speed 12 era nata per essere l’auto di serie più estrema al mondo e, al contempo, un’arma da gara nelle competizioni di durata. Un progetto visionario che, però, nel 2005 è stato abbandonato, lasciando dietro di sé il fascino di un sogno spezzato.
Parliamo di numeri che fanno tremare i polsi: un mastodontico V12 da 7,8 litri, 880 cavalli dichiarati, una velocità di punta stimata sui 386 km/h e un’accelerazione da 0 a 100 km/h in soli 3,6 secondi.
Un’erogazione brutale, una coppia di 881 Nm che trasformava ogni affondo sull’acceleratore in un brivido puro.
Non è mai diventata un’icona delle competizioni né ha solcato le strade come previsto, ma la sua leggenda continua a far battere il cuore degli appassionati. Perché certe auto non si guidano, si vivono.

TVR Cerbera Speed 12
This is a terrifying machine. And it’s a car so terrifying that, after a test drive of one of the prototypes, the boss of TVR decided against putting it into production. And when that boss was Peter Wheeler, who thought airbags were more trouble than they were worth and that ABS was just a crutch for poorly set up cars, you likely have some idea of what it takes to terrify him. In fact, we’d argue that Wheeler’s the man who made TVR a byword for terrifying. After he took the reins of TVR, he ditched the Cologne V6s in favour of Rover V8s. Which he then pushed out, bored out and maxed out. But after nearly tripling the Rover V8’s power, Wheeler ditched it entirely in favour of a V8 and straight-six of TVR’s own design. TVR’s tilt at top-tier racing, however, would require even more madness. But then it would, considering it was shaping up to be Blackpool’s merchants of oversteer up against the industrial might of Mercedes, the racing pedigree of Porsche and the bona fide genius of Gordon Murray. Yep, TVR’s planned racer would be up against the Mercedes CLK GTR, Porsche GT1 and McLaren F1 Longtail. Surmounting such a daunting challenge was approached in… let’s say typical TVR fashion. The 7.7-litre V12 (which was, at its most basic, two of TVR’s AJP-6 straight sixes combined) apparently snapped the input shaft of TVR’s 1,000bhp-rated dyno. A top speed in excess of the McLaren F1 was mooted. And, yes, Peter Wheeler, who raced 500bhp-per-tonne TVRs in the one-make Tuscan Challenge, was so spooked by the end result that he deemed the road-going Speed 12 entirely too bonkers and pulled the pin on the road-going car. Yes, too bonkers for TVR. Imagine how mad. See, TVR did end up building just one Speed 12 road car – an amalgam of road car, prototype chassis, and racing parts – and sold it to a buyer personally vetted by Wheeler himself. And it was every bit the madman that everyone expected it to be. The sheer weight of what was onboard the Speed 12– namely, that 7.7-litre V12, with around 850bhp and 900lb ft – was belied only by the eventual kerb weight: around 1,000kg.
