Each car is hand crafted to the buyers specifications (and pocket) ... the speed 12 is the highest performace, and one of the nicest looking cars out there.

When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!
Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!
To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!

Its ugly...
and for the same price (or maybe even lower) you could get a nice 550 Maranello or F40
and they have much better looks and characther
and much higher quality engine, suspension, frame etc..

The engine is basically 2 stuck together, they were not going to make it originally because it was too powerful. As it was designed for Le Mans. It will beat a McLaren F1 though ...
Hand made producing one per month, now thats quality ...

I never said it was low quality, i just said there is stuff out there that are much higher quality
there is no way it can compete with companies with 40+/50+ years od racing experience etc..

Yes, but TVR DOES have over 40 years of racing experience ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)
And the company itself is coming up to being 60.

But then you go and like the looks of car's like this..
I don't understand, that car is bland and its performance is relatively poor for what it is. It doesn't have character. You're them most inconsitent person I've never met.

You criticised the Nobel I liked which cost £45,000 (can't think in $ atm) And it only had 245bhp. So you know I'm not like that. The TVR Tuscan has a lot of hp but not in a huge quantity.
So thats that out of the way. And somehow I doubt the name of a car affect's it styling or how it drives.
When you say automotive world you mean the US/Italian automotive world.
Although I wouldn't be surprized you if you constant trumpetted high tech crap like the paddle shift gears of the 360 modena, which apparently are a gimmick and makes the driving experience less fun/enjoyable/involving.
