You want to talk dream cars - check out this one

TVRs aren't sold here. I think they stopped selling them here in the late '80s. They're sweet-looking cars and very fast, but I've read they're not very reliable. Plus a young Russian billionaire owns it now, so I don't know if their cars are going to be as cool.

And a Veyron would be my dream car. It's one of the fastest cars in the world, but when driven like a regular car, it's as smooth and refined as an Audi A8. I think that's pretty tight.

I watch the episode in which he raced James in his airplane but I never saw them actually put it through the track? Or any acceleration tests. Although 1000hp in a 3500lb car with 4wd you would assume its fast.

Right, I never saw them put it through any tests either... but I would guess that it is the fastest car. Two v8s and 4 turbos...

IIRC it's a 4L I6, and it didn't sound like a V from the video

I looked it up online and all every site said was v6. Who knows, it is the internet, but they were British sites.

Why didnt it light on fire?

I saw a bloke with a sagaris in shannon ireland last year. It was built up to around 450horsepower or round abouts he was speaking Newton meters so it was kinda hard to convert it off hand. Anyway that is a very sweet car.

The Veryon has like 15 intercoolers... its insane and suprisingly quiet at idle. Nothing like the Drone of an enzo. Truly wicked car, but worth the 1.2 million? hahaha not from me.

My dream car would be either a 91 E30 M3 with an S50B32 motor built up a little to maybe around 400 horspower, or a 993 911 turbo... both with roll cages 5 point harnesses but still streetable.

ONe day and hopefully one day soon i will own one of those cars.

Good thread:)

The current TVRs all share the Inline Speed Six, with the exception of the Speed Twelve, which is probably 2 Speed Sixes

You are right, but honestly Wikipedia is full of shit. I can hit that little edit button on the top and write whatever the hell I want.
