    As a kid growing up locally to TVR you have to put things in to context. The Bispham tip was opposite the factory. Rumors abounded that some of the test drivers were local traffic police (!?). I would ride my bike past stacks of OZ wheels while not realizing the atmosphere was very heavy with the glues and solvents being used to bond the cars into those beautiful shapes. To paraphrase Johnny Smith… it was the 90s.

    The Aston 6.0 V12? Imagine if they went the supercharge route.

    What's better than a terrifying car with muddled whooshes? Slightly less terrifying alternative with loud screams and supercharger whine.

    I have physically seen this car in person, it was sat quietly in a little tent in Goodwood in '22. I walked past, not paying much attention, as no one else was, did a double take and then shouted "is that fucking thing real?!".
    The TR lad in the tent was pleasantly surprised that it'd been recognised, and even more so spending 20 minutes talking about the car (the missus had recognised she wasn't going to get a word in and stepped off to look at some scarves) with someone making GT5 fanboy noises.
    I was happier seeing this than the T.50 in the paddock later on.

      @ build quality looks awful not sure about this over a Veyron. It’s a lot of money for essentially a kit car with a modified engine. You can make 1000hp manuals for significantly cheaper. Small turbos on a viper make 1000 easily. And you have a lot of money left over to spend on very high end parts around the car, even put full carbon fibre body panels on it if you wish and you’d still have change to spare. You’re paying a lot extra purely for the ‘fake’ TVR body shape.

    Really impressed with what they have accomplished, they have made a car that is just as stunning as the original and just as mental with the performance.
    Like that they went with a TT V12 rather than just go the easy route of throwing a LS V8 or something in there also.
    If they get that TVR V12 reproduced as well that would be the icing on the cake.

    Very cool car, and I'm honestly just happy to see this beautiful shape living on even just a bit more. With the Aston Turbo engine it's hugely impressive I'm sure, but the 7.7 was what the Speed 12 was all about, the rest of the car was almost irrelevant, just there to give that engine a place to work. I saw the original racing prototype Speed 12, the white one, at a test day before they were really public knowledge. It was on an air restrictor plate so it had about 550hp for most of the driving it did, but later on they took the restrictor out, reflashed the ECU, and it was like they just turned on VTEC. It was a noise unlike anything I've ever heard, like a Zonda F on full song with some Days of Thunder depth to it as well. To this day I can still hear it and remember that feeling, I was only about 12 at the time and the only thing that came close was the Lamborghini L802 found in certain offshore powerboats. If these guys do bring the 7.7 V12 back to life, we Brits will finally have a reason to wave our nation's flag

    140mph and the bonnet comes loose. That's some real TVR energy there, you can't buy that. I remember seeing one of the Speed12 show car prototypes on a tour of the factory in 1996. I remember it being quite different looking, but still wild.

    I’ve no particular passion for supercars; I’ll never have the money to own one, and I don’t know if I’ve got the skill to not bin one as soon as I get behind the wheel.
    But the Speed 12 was always the exception. Utterly gorgeous, utterly bonkers.

    Super cool! I heard of the prototype a few years back, and wasn't sure out would really make sense with a turbo Aston engine. If they can get the looks a bit more polished, get the 7.7l 'Speed 12' engine developed, and ditch the leather from the interior (just my opinion it doesn't suit a car of this sort), this could be incredible
