The TVR Cerbera is one of the fastest sportscars
of all time but has a long-legged Intercontinental
touring ability that puts it into a class of its
own. TVR has long been a byword for towering performance
but the Cerbera took this into a different league.
At the same time, it was also TVR's first fixed
head coupe for over a decade and gives TVR owners
with children an extra option as it is also a 2+2.
It is available in four different variants each
with a quite different character. The refined Cerbera
Speed Six is quieter and rides more gently than
the others which get progressively more sporting
in nature until you get to the immensely powerful
4.5 with Red Rose conversion.
There are few cars as dramatic as the TVR Cerbera.
From its optional gas discharge headlights to its
twin stainless steel exhaust pipes, the Cerbera
is one of those cars that looks like its going
fast when it's standing still. Although it could
not be mistaken for anything other than a very
modern TVR, its bloodline is very much in the tradition
of the British sportscars. New for 2002, its lines
are even smoother with the headlight housings now
being blended into the wings.
The interior of the Cerbera is absolutely unique.
The original concept of the Cerbera was to provide
TVR owners with the option of a two plus two. The
extra length in the wheelbase makes it possible
to carry two children in the back or smaller adults
over short distances. The leather-trimmed seats
reflect the cars dual purpose in that they are
supremely comfortable over long distances while
providing lateral support when cornering hard.
The boot is commodious and can carry an astonishing
amount of luggage for a touring holiday or a set
of golf clubs. All the instruments are clustered
around the steering wheel, perfectly in the driver's
line of sight and even the ventilation system has
been thoughtfully designed and is able to supply
cold air to the driver's face to keep them alert
while keeping the rest of the cabin warm. |
