TVR Cerbera Speed 12 (2000)

But the best was yet to come from TVR. In 1997, the firm built Project 7/12, a V12 supercar that was destined for sports car racing, but was canned before it could turn a wheel in anger. But one car survived, by this time called the Cerbera Speed 12, and its lairy, Bugatti Veyron-rivalling performance has been immortalised in every game since GT2.
