AFAIK, there aren't any.
You may be thinking of the Bristol Fighter, which uses the Viper engine.

It's just that 26 years of being joined at the hip to a Swedish maker of fighter planes left its mark in the form of a shared logo.

Thanks for clearing that up, I had read the name Scania elsewhere and never got the connection. I guess I thought it was like Scudeira (sp) to Ferrari. Same company just a separate division or whatever...Thanks again.

SAAB started off in 1937 builing planes, and cars in 1947. Scania, which had been building trucks since 1900, became part of SAAB in 1969.

In 1990 GM bought half of SAAB's passenger car business - SAAB Automobile, buying the rest of the company in 2000

In 1995 Scania became independant.

SAAB AB still makes planes, Scania AB still makes trucks, SAAB Automobile AB still makes cars - all, now, independant of each other, but having been the same company for so long, they all share the same logo.

No problem. I havent been on UCP for awhile due to heavy school work loads. Is Matts Hi-Res Hide-Out a place for information as well? For example the Cerbera Speed 12 low-res page and the evo article I included? Cause I put alot of information into that page concerning the history and such.

On a side note, I had a dream about the Cerbera Speed 12 a few nights ago. I "aquired" the car back when I was in highschool and showed it to my auto teacher and took him for a ride. Dissapointingly, I was scared to floor it even in a sleeping state. I guess you really cant kill yourself in a dream after all.

Of course, add as much info as you like. When people are looking for pictures here, I'm sure they read some of the information too.
I'd love to see the official press release for this car lol.

Ill give it a try
"A v12 monster that has the looks like a mix between a horse and a giant tortoise, sounds like a volcano and goes with the power of an atom bomb, we at TVR tend not to refer to this thing as a car, a car is a symbol of purpose, beauty, and modernity. TVR acknowledges that none of these things are important and refrained from using them in this cars development. The Cerbera Speed 12 is ravish, unforgiving, scary and is a not car. We at TVR simply call it, the #&^#ing ____ (insert name of some demonic, beastly, unruly thing from an unknown language)"

I think the blue and lime green car is a T400r, not the Speed 12. Looks suspiciously like a straight six in the engine bay.

The pics on the track are definitely the Cerbera though.

I didnt think of that. I was just browsing some racing photos and saw 6 cylinders on what I thought was a side and figured it was a v12. They do looked pretty angled for it to be a straight dont you think?
