Favorite rare supercar

[chrisdoesntknow]

So whats eveybody's favorite rare supercar?

mine would definitely be the TVR cerbera speed 12
only one of them ever sold




edit: just to give a little info, 1200 stock HP, 4 miles to the gallon on the track


i was also readng this article in this european car magazine when i was over there that was talking about the sagaris, and they had a special feature on the cerbera, and they mentioned that during their test drive the car delivered the one thing that would make very little boy cream his pants: the ability to spin the tires in fourth gear.

i'd have to agree with you there, with the McLaren F1 foloowing right behind it.

1 ever sold? Total crap. Nevertheless, I like the Chrysler ME Four-Twelve. Haha... No more like an exotic... Concept. But I think someone DOES own it. Or maybe not? Did he? I dunno.

The Speed 12 was only a one off concept, the Cerbera Speed 12 was put into production, although I don't know exactly how many they made. They used to be in the database, but they appear to have been removed. I believe what you have pictured there is a Cerbera Speed 12.

total crap? what do you mean? they only sold one.

there was the cerbera speed 12 race car, and they were working on the prodction model using the same engine and one of the developers drove it home one night, got a mile down the raod and swore this car should never be sold or ever driven on the street. One guy had bought one after much persuassion and the other three they were working on became part cars fr the cerbera speed 12 race car.

at least thats the story i remember.

[Tourbillon]

No, that's not it. The Cerbera Speed 12 is a rare car, yes but not only 1 was ever sold!

[chrisdoesntknow]

i was just confused on what the total cra comment was about. what is total crap? care to ellaborate?

[Tourbillon]

Total crap is er... Total nonsense?

why is the statement one ever sold total crap? i have evidence that says tehre was one ever sold. you claim otherwise. i'm just asking what evidence you have that makes you think that my statement is total crap?

and my evidence is EVO magazine May 2005. i'll scan the article in over the weekend when i go home from school to visit.

thats what supercars.net says. i'm pretty sure it was 1000 or 1200 though. the car literally broke the dyno (again, EVO i'll get it this weekend) and they had to do each bank seperately and add them, so they never got the true numbers.

wait till monday, i'll get the article and scan it and upload it.

Maybe that's why even the former owner of TVR said this was a pig to drive, and that it made no sense at all.
