Silverstone Auctions<\/a> is offering you the chance to own a truly unique supercar! What are they offering? Well, you’re only looking at the one and only 2000 TVR Cerbera Speed 12 built by the automaker specifically for road use!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Cerbera Speed 12<\/a>, the ultimate TVR sports car, is going up for auction on May 20th. This extremely rare vehicle was designed to be driven on public roads, but it takes a true fan or daredevil to do so. TVR is known for building cars that are as wild-looking as they are challenging to drive, and the Speed 12 is the pinnacle of their craziness, made in Blackpool, England.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

TVR created the Cerbera in 1996, a hard-top sports car with 2+2 seating. The company hoped to create a race car, called the Project 7\/12, based on the Cerbera that could compete with the McLaren F1 GTR, the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR, and the Porsche GT1. However, after a change in racing regulations, the company shifted focus to producing a road version of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Peter Wheeler, the company’s then-owner, learned just how tough it was when he took the prototype home one night and concluded that the car was uncontrollable and far too risky to offer for sale. As a result, he put a halt to the entire production run and refunded customer deposits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nonetheless, TVR ended up building a single street-legal Cerbera Speed 12, modified with large intakes, oversized fenders finished in metallic red, and a black rear wing. The car’s cabin is sparse, featuring two carbon-fiber seats, basic instrumentation, and a roll cage that pays homage to its racing roots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Under the hood, the front-mounted 7.7-liter V-12 is constructed from two of TVR’s AJP-6 straight sixes, with a combined output of over 940 horsepower. Although an official horsepower figure was never released, the closest TVR came to disclosing a number was 790 hp. However, during the testing phase, the engine snapped an input shaft, leaving its actual power output unclear.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Wheeler himself sold the car to a carefully selected enthusiast roughly two decades ago, and it spent the majority of its life in a museum. But now, we may get to see it on the road, especially if it gets to hands of a new owner who has the courage to tame this beast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re a big supercar fanatic who always wanted to own a very rare car, this one-of-a-kind Cerbera Speed 12 should be it! The 2000 TVR Cerbera Speed 12 will be offered for sale with no reserve on Silverstone Auctions<\/a> this May 20 and it’ll likely require a ton of money to get it!<\/p>\n
