Description
I have to say, I miss TVR, primarily because they tended to come up with insane pieces of machinery like this! Originally conceived as a race-oriented car with a power-limited engine (I say limited, it was still outputting 675hp!), when the limiters were removed, this 7.7-litre V12 beast was capable of over 800hp and even managed to break a dyno TVR tested it on which was rated to 1000hp. Determined to be just too powerful and undriveable to be unleashed on the road, TVR originally cancelled existing orders, but later placed a single one of the prototypes up for sale with a bodyshell repurposed from one of the race models - that same vehicle you now see here on show at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

In short, it's overpowered, it's insanely quick, it's reputedly undriveable on the road. I love it.
