I picked up a copy of Max Power (probably the rauchiest car magazine ever) and it showed a car from the UK which runs in the 12's (not the one pictured above) & I think it can beat a stock porsche. Also, it was way cheaper then most exotics. Too bad production stopped and was never released to the US. The Ferrari corporation was just asking for too much from TVR.
 
Hmmm. That's ... different. I still don't understand gold as a car color. Especially when you put red lettering on it.
 
That's a 100% hand-formed bodykit. There's no aftermarket company that designs that. It's fricking awesome. That car is probably one of the most sexy cars out there.

I think you mean the ****tyest car/wank magazine read by 13 yearolds and ricers in the uk.

Every time I see that picture, it just upsets me. They managed to **** up the Cerbera's classic British styling with some stupid bling bling (handmade, but crappy) bodykit.

I call crappy rice on this one.

As for a Cerebra that runs 12's i'm pretty sure that a stock 4.5 could, with 450rwhp.

I'm pretty sure too, especially as it can 0 to a mile in 31 seconds! :trouble:
 
Its a show car and hasnt had many engine mods but still has 3.1 seconds 0-60mph. Its done by the company Carisma in Colchester (England) and thats only like 30 minutes away from me. I was going to go look for the place on Saturday but im not sure i want to anymore.

In the entire world, actually. There's a store that has European mags imported here (mostly from France and England) and Max Ricer is the worst pile of crap i've ever put my eyes on. Heck, it makes HCI and Import Tuner look Nobel Prize worthy.

That Cerbera, while there's a lot of time and craft put into it, still looks like garbage. Not surprising, when you consider what the guy who owns it built before. 300 hp Veilside Style Renault 5, anyone?

These are old pics, it looks even worse today. Can't find any new pics, though. No matter how much money and time he put into it, it's still an R5.
 
Yeh, probably is that. I just realised an hour before i posted that reply that all the JGTC cars had the two holes at the back. I took a quick look and to me i assumed they were exhausts. But you are probably right.

I think they actually are exhausts, as I can see the fuel cap in it's usual place.
 
Hey Eddie Turner I live about 20 mins from Carisma!
Where abouts do you live?

I have seen that TVR at Southend which is one of the biggest ricer gatherings. I dont appreciate all the kit but the interior is something special, especially the custom made bucket seats.

Exhaust so high up? I honestly don't know, but I always thought that's where they put the fuel to the fuel cell... so someone that really knows, please tell.
 
That is the quick filler for the gas. There's one on each side, so they don't have any complications when they go to racetracks with pitlines on different sides.

The exhaust is in the bottom of the skirts on Front engined cars, on this MR-S it's at the back, like a normal car.

And on the ugly R5, they are exhausts. Remember, it's a showcar, who cares about making the thing go properly, as long as it's "cool"... :rolleyes:

OH MY ****ING GOD, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
how sad :( I really like Renault 5s, but this... >_< poor, poor car. do they have to ruin everything? :mad:

oh, and as for the TVR.... :crazy:
 
They are both really nice cars if you see them in the flesh, all the bodywork is custom made!

The TVR's interior is absolutly stunning but the outside is not so great, but in the flesh its quite good, but the rear wing isnt just cosmetic, as the Cerbera at High speeds (Around 180 - 190) is a little unstable at the rear so i guess if set-up right will aid the car.

And that R5 is just any R5, its a R5 turbo. So i'm guessing that its probibly producing around 220bhp (Thats what they all seem to produce when there in show form cos K-tec have one too).
And 220bhp in a small car i bet it goes like **** of a Icy shovel!

Not forgetting that this is people tastes, not everyone likes driving round in a standard car like everyone else.

Yeh but, look at them though, they're both FUGLY
 
Got to disagree here (to my peril no doubt !!) but I really like both the cars.

The TVR - just because Jamie Shaw (the guy who created both the cars) has had the balls to take a TVR Cerbera and modify it !! and it looks good, the purpose of the car is to turn heads at shows and thats what it does

The R5 GTT - Ive been brought up reading max power fast car etc ... So I appreciated the R5 a lot when it came out in the UK. I admit its "riced" up and as Ive gotten older the apprectiation I have for that kind of car is slowly dwindling away.

I know what you mean when you dont really appreciate these kind of cars but theres a lot of effort and money that goes in !

the TVR has the power to back up the looks (no rice)

but The R5 GTT goes sub 6 to 60 I reckon ?

and the TVR 3.9 and 3.1 with nos, so yeah, that is quick.
