TVR Cerbera Old Top Gear

[2487sullivan]

love jeremy

[CarBoreBoy]

I don't care that my friend's one tried to kill us when getting on to the M5 - i still want one of these more than any other car out there and have done since it first exploded on to the scene. RIP Trevor Wilkinson.

[brooklyntheredone]

I cant believe we cant get something like this in the states...this has to be one of the top 10 coolest car ever made.

[Paladin24987]

2:55 - its also faster than a diablo in a 1/4 and 1/2 mile jeremy :)

[pedalsnkeys1313]

TVR's are so cool the same way the Zonda is, it's fast, makes great noise, and looks amazing both inside & out!

Random thought, Clarkson mentioned Tchaikovsky, but the song at 6:20 is Chopin's nocturne in Db! :D

[SnapeVEVO]

so sad that tvr no more produces cars!

[creamyfilling102]

flat cranks may have the benefits of breathing better and getting more power, but sound is one thing they don't have going.

[nakkihillo]

@creamyfilling102 I think ferrari would disagree :D

[xoio]

LMAO look at Clarkson's hair! :-)

[450cerbera]

Again some one who's never owned or driven one, well done!..what ya got Corsa or Clio????

[matthewabouttime]

I just have to own one, one day I will sell everything I own and buy one, then run it until it breaks down, then as I will have no money to repair it, I will simply starve myself. What a fantastic car to die in. I still think it's the nicest looking car to ever make production.

[c0c0asauce]

If I ever have a midlife crisis I'm flying back to my home in England and I will buy then import this car back to America so I can show the american roads what for.

[Paladin24987]

@c0c0asauce you cant - the police wont let you - they're banned in america

[SuperStig1992]

This video brings back old memories :-)

[SuperStig1992]

BTW, watch my videos, (I'm not plugging my channel) the TVR Cerbera is in Clarkson's Shoot out. Look at what its up against and look at the results :-)

[450cerbera]

I had a Red Rose Cerbera in Viper Blue for 3 years. It was very quick!. I remember sitting next to a R34 Skyline in Portchester outside the Ford garage at the lights. My car pulled at least 3 car lengths in first and blew it away in 2nd!, I slowed down and the guy gave me the thumbs up!. But for all that in 3 yrs the Cerbera spent 18 months in the garage and the engine came out 7 times!!, why didn't they fit an LS Corvette engine!!

[t3super60W]

@450cerbera

Because then it wouldn't be a typically British car! And would be a lot more boring haha

[StuRaz]

@450cerbera Because they're shit.

[gizmouk777]

@450cerbera Unlucky! I had a 4.2 for 2 1/2 years - did 15,000 miles in it. Never broke down 'only' had routine maintenance at £1,200 a go. I drove it to work... at 15 mpg.

[Annihilator1111]

[tonyalmeida80]

Anyone know what the badass music is near the beginning?

[jsupra]

This was the first TVR that I heard about. It'd be great if they imported them back to the states again.

[TripleZ89]

I'd love to have one here in America. All I have is a Hot Wheels "Planet Micro" one ... red. :( 

[Annihilator1111]

the 1996-2003 TVR Cerbera was assembled in

Blackpool, England

[xJEWMAN22x]

All TVR's are great, it just sucks that Transport Canada are communist and wont let us have them.

[StuRaz]

It's amazing how one of the best sounding cars ever made sounds so shit on every video.

[snypa345]

Gear lever does look awfully close to the dash

[Jamirofan89]

The only two cars that look the best and masculine in purple: the Diablo SE30 and a Cerbera...

gorgeous car

[rick4318]

MGB nose, Dodge Viper side and cockpit, Jag XK8 rear end.

[aby9005]

@rick4318 i felt the same plus it looks shittiest car ever made

[rick4318]

@aby9005

Yeah lol

[stonkie1982]

My all time favourite TVR :-)

[chippyarcher]

wht i love about tvr is there not trying 2 be anything they will not pretend 2 be ferrari's or lambo's they r what they r and r very unique like v fact they have door handles in the wing mirrors tvr's r not tryin 2 be anything but fun shame my uncle got his smashed in to by a person doin powerslides in a GOLF!!! the cunt.

[DIRTYDEEDS1313]

Old yes old anything over 4.0 sec to 60 is not that fast in the super car world of today. He'll my m3 can match and beat that TVR

[rossyboy51288]

@DIRTYDEEDS1313

No unmodified M3 is going to be faster than a Cerbera.

[mopasaurus]

v8 tvr.. yes please.. word is that tvr hasn't doesn't have any records of one actually breaking down.. so loads a ppl sayin oh they'll break on you n everything tvr hasn't actually had one recorded

[DilkingtonsDiary]

You can tell what an arse clarkson has become. He used to rave on about the tvrs because its a real man car! its awesome! now he slates them all the time! TVR rules!

[FLAME4564]

to me Ive read enough facts on Gran Truismo to know that the only decent model out of the entire Cerbera series is the Tuscan Speed Six along with the Speed 12

[mopasaurus]

@FLAME4564 i love granturismo but thing is that its only a game its not like actually being in the v8 model if u was in that u'd probs have brown pants mate

[shauntvr]

love tvrs

[supranick666]

I miss my Cerbera, buying another one real soon though!

[volvomantom]

@Mrgoldsilver1 Can't Argue With That. Fair Enough. :)

[hunghuge12]

I wonder if anyone developed 16v heads for it what would happen?

[whoohaaXL]

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the engine design.

[junkkilai]

killed my brother 5 years ago



[Mrgoldsilver1]

I Cant Believe It......... You Cut The Footage Short!!! On The Original, He Starts To Laugh, And Continues Whilst The Camera Focus's On The Motor. Years Ago I Can Remember Thinking It Was The Best Review I Had Seen. I Wanted One....... Unfortunately Im Skint, And It Never Happened.

[volvomantom]

@Mrgoldsilver1 Why Do You Find It Necessary To Capitalise Every Letter In Your Sentence?

[blahblop123]

thats not even a 4.5 which has 420 bhp.. in a car weight 1 ton :O... and thats 16 years ago... thats british muscle :D

[mopasaurus]

@blahblop123 not like american muscle which is like twice as heavy and also has to carry the guy inside it haha

[dojOdRiFTeR]

@blahblop123 british muscle cars are light and agile american muscle cars r heavy as shit hands down tvr makes some fucking badass cars

[TheElite1102]

@blahblop123 Sure that now they can use much more new technology and get 500 hp from the 4.5, or even make a new 4.8-5.0 V8 and get over 560....

If Ascari got 600 hp from and old BMW 4.9 V8...

[mattorama]

@TheElite1102 What difference does the size of the engine make? Who cares if it's twenty seven liters? What matters is the amount of power; nothing else. Specific output does not make a car better, it makes it worse.

[DUBARTIFY]

@blahblop123 hey plz reply, wasn't the engine an inline 6??

[blahblop123]

@DUBARTIFY there were 3 engines available, a 4l inline 6, 4.2 and 4.5 v8...

[zymyn11]

it was...and still is...THE first car I buy after I cash the lottery check....

[OCquattro]

@zymyn11 I don't think Cerberas are that expensive any more.

[chimaera1855]

@zymyn11 why???they are pretty cheap to buy!!!

[ikingofhelli]

@zymyn11 can u buy 2? =)

[RAMBQNER]

@zymyn11 id rather have the cerbera speed 12 prototype.

[volvomantom]

The car in this video hasn't been taxed since 1997!

Written off, I expect.

[JOCKEYSI3OLLIX]

@volvomantom LOL. I'm guessing you're a policeman?

[volvomantom]

@JOCKEYSI3OLLIX No, just a sat bastard. The DVLA's website has a feature which enables you to see whether a car is taxed or not, and if not taxed, when it's last tax disc ran out.

[JOCKEYSI3OLLIX]

@volvomantom now that I did not know. I'd be putting reg numbers from the tv into it too!

[volvomantom]

@JOCKEYSI3OLLIX Haha, yeah, I've done it to loads of cars, it actually gets quite addictive.

I now know that my dad's old Cavalier has gone to the great scrapyard in the sky, as has my mum's first car!

[xINKMANJRx]

ive got the new Cerbera 2003 and its amazing but the problems are horrible.

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

Gotta love 90s Clarkson.

[Molo9000]

It's such a shame that owning a car like this is such a hassle :(

Guess u have to be your own mechanic or somehow live near a TVR specialist.

[rosenscharf]

Will the fireman think his way in, after you wound the car around a tree???
