Of course, what daan means is, they WERE going to make one, but didn't, so WE did... Hehehe, GTGP2 here we come... :D
 
I ended up getting 10 of them from the Tuscan Challenge and will get the other 2 from the PD Cup. These are the only 2 places you can get them.

If any of you want to get multiple Speed 12s by trading between game saves be warned they cost 800,000cr each.

I still need these colours:

Chameloen Orange
Rosso Pearlescent

Hey , good find. I actually wondered the same thing myself, as the in-game model looks very,very wierd. I'm not sure why TVR made the Speed 12 this way. There should be a good reason for it being like this. Any members can clarify this ?

Well, the ol' Speed 12 sits oddly for the same reason the old Sierra Cosworth sits oddly - it's designed so that the suspension sits perfectly when it's dropped down on to enormous wheels for endurance racing.

I think from memory the Speed 12 was built by TVR as a homologation special for International GT Racing back around 1999/2000, but the changes in the rules meant it never raced in that category. In a bizarre twist it was more powerful in road trim than in race trim, thanks to the restrictions on engines.

I hear the same is true with the Toyota GT-One. They had to de-tune it to 600HP to race on the cuircut, but it's actually some 640HP on the street.
 
I have the Chameleon Orange, it is actually a chameleon colour (orange to red)...I never knew there was a TVR Racing Speed 12...but I have seen a pic of the interior and it is all bare except for a roll cage and racing seat...racinjg wheel etc (I'm talking about the road version).

Good explanation there Vat 👍

Sidenote: Just checked, my Speed 12 colour is actually Starmist Blue. With black OZ Racing rims :D
 
Hey, Gumpy, what are the other chameleon colours (that actually look good) on the TVR Speed 12?

ok, something's been bugging me about the TVR Speed Twelve...and i'm SURE i'm not the only one! The wheel wells are HUGE!! they extend a good 30 cm above the tip of the actual tire! to me this looks horridly rediculous...and i always thought that it was an issue with the game designers not making the car correctly....but i stumbled upon a picture of a 00' Speed 12...and look what i found

A bargain at $800K, for a car that drives like a TANK unless you Boost the HP a tad, then it rockets at 900 mph


Chameleon Orange:
2A9BB76D 00000569
2A87B76D 00000002


Rosso Pearlescent:
2A9BB76D 00000508

Do you have something against chameleon colors? They make great eye candy (except for reflex spice and the gay purply blue color). I thought Crystal Topaz Pearlescent was the most interesting of them, so I bought my Speed 6 in that color. Most of the time, I race cars in yellow if it's available, or, better yet, orange. I think the Chrome Orange color available on the Lotuses is the best color in the game.
 
i also bought the perlescent speed 6, it's a great color indeed....im doing the TVR challenge right now to get a speed 12 and i hope i get a decent color!
 
I have that yellow-purple on my Speed Six...It looks very very horrid when racing. But in the showroom it's a different story.

Reflex Spice is vomit-inducing no matter where the car is.
 
It looks horrible on the track...but on the showroom floor it looked wonderful.
 
Excuse me, but could you post that in English? That sentence doesn't make sense..(if this is your question) I bought it, and i chose the colour...
 
I was talking about the Speed Six...:rolleyes:
