TVR Cerbera 4.5 specs

Autocar 9 July 1997

3.8 seconds is Murcielago levels of fast, just wow. I could care less about the catching fire jokes, I'd kill to own one of these.

Awesome car, I want one. TVR and Aston Martin have always been my favorite British automakers.

My cerb will do 0-60 in the wet in 4.0, with decent tyres, it's only wheelspin stopping it being faster. Mine is still trying to light the back end up 80 in the dry. If u haven't been in one .... you really have nothing to add to this!

Im lucky enough to have worked with cerbs for years and can tell you that the 4.5 does 60mph in 3.86s and 100mph in 8.08s
The red rose edition is a little quicker at 3.7s and 7.78s
These are documented times for normal production cars.
Top speeds are unknown but one brave soul did 195mph in the standard 4.5 and had to back off, given a longer airfield it may have gained a couple more mph.
Anybody who says a cerbera isnt all that fast needs their head examined. Infact the 30-70mph in the standard 4.5 is only 0.48s slower than a mclaren f1.

This car has a simply amazing engine. Only weighs 121 kg!!

You are the man when it comes to getting info! The pictures and dyno you posted I couldnt find anywhere! Doesnt look quite as "peaky" with torque as a DOHC engine.

Anyone out there have a link to a dyno of this engine?

Its called the lightest production V8 and I'd love to get a look at the power/torque curves of this engine!

0-100 is 9.0 not 8.0

Noooo, only thing off is the 0-100kmh which is the 0-60 time, and 4.0s to 100kmh, everrthing else is correct.

This car isn't that quick, the figures here are for the Red-Rose.

its supposed to be the other way around 2420 lbs not kgs...unbelievable..lol

2420 kilograms, yeah right.
