A supercar from British manufacturer TVR, the Cerbera Speed 12 started off as a design exercise but quickly became TVR's opportunity to become a player in GT racing. Using the not-so-subtle formula of "light car + massive engine = insane performance", the Speed 12 is a remarkable vehicle indeed. A 7.7L V12 generating a whopping 800bhp propels the one-tonner from rest to 60mph in close to 3 seconds. The Speed 12 isn't in production anymore, but the car remains as a classic of British engineering.
