Now a VW polo got 300 HP...And lasts 7 months, then craps out...And VW won't accept the warranty, because you drove a 1-liter turbo screamer with 300 hp too hard... Then you take a bottle of gasoline, pour it on the little shit you gave your life savings on, and light the match...Then go and buy a car from the 90-s for 1000 euro/dolar and drive your little heart out for a 100000 miles...
Its such a shame that TVR went bust, these (and sadly I can't tell from own experience as most of you also can't) must have been pure drivers cars. Built for no other purpose than fun and enjoyment while driving. And thats what we are missing out from todays cars. There's no Mitsubishi Evo, no Toyota Celica, no Nissan 400Z, no Toyota MR2, no Wiessmann, no Nissan GTR's, VW Scirocco or Corrado, no Honda S2000 or Prelude in Europe coming anymore. The only "Drivers Car" of that sort that has survived are Caterhams and the Mazda MX5 and some Porsche's. It is so sad that Inflation and economy crisis hit so hard and society can't afford such cars anymore. All people want now are those stupid crossover SUV's like the Nissan Juke or the Mazda CX30
my favorite version of the cerebra ,i had to have it and i did it ,what a car, the ones who talk bad about it ,never drove them or bought a regular sport car probably forgeting the cerebra, this is a men´s car ,manual gears and drive it as you can ,at the end of several monthes all is controled and what seemed impossible is just regular, i never bought a powerfull car saying "i will get the most of it, let´s see if it is like they said"or if it endures my driving" it´s the same of saying "i don´t know how to drive fast cars" first you have to think all the time, "this can kill me" and everything will run smoth or not, in the video one can guess the feeling or it wasn´t a chalenge and the other sport car you have for 20 years would be enough
Well he changed his tune not long after ... for years TG sounded like they were being paid to pimp German cars and constantly moved the goalposts about what was important in order to big up the panzers vs whatever the competition was. Audis with Playstation steering and wooden brake feel? ... forget how they drive, just look at the looks! Minging E60 BMW 5 series? Looks aren't important, feel how it drives!
I love the shape of the Cerbera. It's a shame that a big manufacturer didn't buy TVR and use the styling. Imagine a BMW M5 under that body. It would be glorious.... and require slightly less walking home in the rain.
They're not if: 1) You buy one that's been looked after 2) You get it checked out by an expert 3) You get it serviced regularly and maintained by people who really know the cars.
Owned 2 cerbera’s V8, dangerous, no safety, smells of petrol inside, comes with a fire extinguisher, unreliable and melts your face…….. best car I’ve ever owned, reserved for real drivers. F@ck health and safety!!
Tubular steel chassis that was poorly rust proofed. Cheaply constructed glass fibre body and depending on which engine you have a possible rebuild in as little as 6000 miles. No wonder they were sold so cheap.
More bollocks from someone who's never owned one. 1) My Chimaera went for a body off restoration at 15 years old and 60000 miles. My friend's Porsche of similar age had to have extensive welding. But my car's now exactly as built, whereas his is welded up. 2) The glass fibre body is light and very strong, so what's the problem? Oh, and it never rusts. 3) The only engine with problems was the Speed Six, and then only the early ones. Most were rebuilt under warranty. My son's Speed Six Cerbera has done over 70000 miles with no issues. You're just butt hurt because it's faster, better looking, handles better and was cheaper than your Porsche or whatever other inferior vehicle you drive.
You sound like my miserable jealous neighbours. 😊 Glad they annoy you. 😊 If you are one of my neighbours, we are looking to move house. But when we do I'll bring the car back every few months to annoy all of you ok. 🙂🙂🙂🖕🏻💪🏻
@@RobsCars Ever done a V8 alarm call? I had one yummy mummy who used to really annoy me by sitting outside my house waiting for her kids (I live quite near a school) and playing very loud hip hop with the roof of her Porsche down (yes - I live in a wealthy village with a lot of nouveau rich). I asked her to turn it down a bit and got a very arrogant reply to the effect that it was her right to play music if she wanted to. So at 5 o'clock one Sunday morning, a few of us went to her house and revved the old V8s for 10 minutes. She doesn't wait near my house any more.
@@kingcurry6594hahaha 🤣 unfortunately not... But I'll make sure someone is filming to gauge the reaction lol 😜 My concern with doing such at the moment is getting into a neighbourly dispute put up against our house. But when we move I will do it and I'll get a few of us together to do it as well. Just so they can remember me and TVR forever. 😅 Perhaps they secretly love TVR, and want this sort of reaction to have a free car show. 🥴🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Took me 20 years since watching this review, before I finally got one.
Well worth the wait, even today, a very special car.
I'm next in line for one.
I had a 4.2 years ago its was ridiculously fast, il never forget her, drive carefully
There are some genuinely innovative design features in those TVRs, for their time.
We don’t do any market research whatsoever. Excellent!
A world in which “360 horsepower has got to have a government health warning on it”
Simpler, happier times.

The big difference was it weighed 1100kg and came with 1995 tyre technology
The TVR Speed six is 4.0ltr NA 400hp very impressive performance!!
It may have been later ones but the speed six did produce 400hp!!
No - it produced a claimed 360bhp and my son's car made 343bhp on a rolling road. Some of the Red Rose spec made more.
This has been my dream car ever since it came out, I just instantly fell in love - absolutely stunning machine!
“We don’t do any market research…” That’s the British way…😂
I’ve never seen the whole vid before, very pleased I’ve found it
Seems hard to believe that Blackpool used to make sport cars
Especially how poverty stricken it has become over the last decade
Such a British thing having the boss of a small car factory saying they came cheaper than BMW on tooling of some obviously cheaper material 😂.
Still don't think you can beat the sound of a cross plane V8 against a flat plane V8 (as in this case) but what a car. And TVR is sadly no more ☹
This is true just like in the Esprit V8. They don’t sound as good but are more commonly used in motorsport.
@@MrGwaldo Why would you want to an expensive GT or Sports Car to sound like a hoon mobile and not a thoroughbred? Stupid
I have the original version of this video on a VHS 📼 and the music is far better!

You're forgetting the GT86/GR86 which is designed purely for fun.
Fucking russians innit!!
Dirty russian money
Ugh, what a load of rubbish.
There are plenty of 'drivers cars' available today.
@@gottliebdee263 No, because nowadays every car is fitted with unnecessary assistance systems that interfere with your driving all the time

TVR = A very cool car brand
Stunning just stunning.
It's good that Jeremy was never biased with British cars 😂

Ironic your comment as I put the demise of TVR squarely on his shoulders.
Brilliant car company, sad it had to sell up.
Jeremy Clarkson is still the goat
I love the shape of the Cerbera. It's a shame that a big manufacturer didn't buy TVR and use the styling.

What? A BMW? Deutschland, Deutschland über alles!
I hate to say this but I've got this particular segment on video about their about the TVR so here we go again
I had a straight six 4.0 it was the ballsiest car ever - like no other
Lovely things.
Still stunning designs 20, 30 years on. The unique interiors were copied by vsrious before everything went to TV screens.
TVR will always be special
I have wanted a cerebra for about 20 years. I just cannot bring myself to buy one as they seem to be a bit fragile
They're not if:
1) You buy one that's been looked after
2) You get it checked out by an expert
3) You get it serviced regularly and maintained by people who really know the cars.
Blackpool to London far away
Name song? 5:05
Why did Clarkson think a perm'd mullet was a good idea, and, why did no one tell him it very much wasn't?
4:56

Tvr would sold millions but that music ruined all😂
Name this song?
Imagine if the Chinese built a plastic car !
🙏
That Cerbera has aged way better than Clarkson.
Clarkson FFS
TVR. Such a shame that boring wallflowers with money don't buy them.
TVR = pure junk ! worked on these things and they are poorly built ..
No you didn't. OK - name TVR's chief race engineer if you really did work there.
💩
Always, ALWAYS hated tvr, noisy ostentatious and deliberately ridiculous...!!!
Is that because you can't afford one? (I've got 2).
You sound like my miserable jealous neighbours. 😊 Glad they annoy you. 😊 If you are one of my neighbours, we are looking to move house. But when we do I'll bring the car back every few months to annoy all of you ok. 🙂🙂🙂🖕🏻💪🏻
