    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.

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

      @ 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.
    Speed 12 was a almost mythical car so to see someone making new versions of it is epic.

    The Speed 12 was mental, this looks amazing.

    I went up against Peter Wheeler at Bruntingthorpe in the OG Speed 12 (the white one) when I was testing a then new Nissan Sunny GTiR. He definitely came past me on the straight at 200mph +

    None of those V12 wail we used to hear from modern V12s, it's a proper barrel-chested 50cal old-school V12 bark. Befitting the TVR character.

    And, this is why the NASCAR Next-Gen racing cars never have 1,000 horsepower. If you put that much horsepower inside a racing car with rear-wheel drive, it is actually scary. That being said, the TR Speed 12 Turbo is an incredible piece of engineering. Just don't expect it to be safe and make sure you have some racing experience first.

    10/10 for being the only channel sponsored by Manscaped that I've ever seen wear the boxers. Now if only I could figure out how to get myself into one of those Speed 12s (without killing myself or the car). I'd like to work at or have a company like helical one day XD

    Definitely true to the TVR roots in the fact that it cant drive in a straight line without falling to pieces

    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.

    With this car you dont need to wait 30 years to be able to do a top gear cheap car challange. It falls apart straight from the factory :)

    That 7.7 was a monster. I loved using it in Gran Turismo. Such a beast of a car. It was even fast in the Xbox: Test Drive other than the Ford GT and Dodge Viper GTSR

    Love TVR's can't wait to see more imported across the pond. It's also hilarious the hood/bonnet pops open a bit, English car brand employees, it's ok, keep doing 140+ you're safe 😂. I love my p38a so I say that with admiration

    This car is badass as hell. Kick ass color too. I have a modified Vanquish Volante with some head work done, intake, Velocity AP headers and Quicksilver Titan exhaust, and custom tune. Makes just about 700hp to the wheels. This TT setup is looking great now
