I think the Tuscan is much prettier as the Cerbera AND you can buy it with a more powerfull engine.

Cerbera: 360hp 4.2sec 0-60mph
Tuscan(top model): 440hp

this should convince you about the looks:

nice but a little rough around the edges...and reliability isnt their strong point....excellent performance for your money though...and that bassy V8 has to be one of the best sounds ever....

Between the two, I'd take the Tuscan anyday :)

Yep, indeed. That's why it isn't really a dream car in my eyes. If you spend that much money on a car you expect it to be good, not only fast. You don't want to hear rattles and squeeqs after a few weeks. But I do love the styling & the sound.

Two Question:

I put two extra poll options on accident. How do remove them?

As for the topic; which tuscan would you go for the Speed 6, S, or T440 R?

Hehe, I know, in every review, the Tuscan was/is explained as a raw car. Lot of power, almost no electronics in it... and of course this mean the car is just for ppl with ball like coconuts :)

But I'd be carefull if I'd have one ;)

The speed 6 has 360hp - The S has 390hp - and the T440 440hp

So I will obviously choose for the last one :P

If I really owned one, I think there would be a resonibly big chance that I would crash it in a rush moment. But still, I would have lot's of fun before that :D So much power for a car that weights so little and the typical TVR's sudden breakaway from the back end (without any warning)... if you're on the road when that happens ... I wouldn't give a dime for your life.

If there's one car that they should fit with ESP, it's this one. But do TVR, as a small company have the money to devellop such a sophisticated piece of machinery... maybe that's why it doesn't have it.

that is the one thing that worries me about them...that is what I was trying to say by being so damn raw...like trying to tame a rhino.....

I 100 % agree with you zippo...but you said it all better than I ever could....exactly what I was feeling about the car though 8)

But I do think it's an interesting conversation because I like TVR's and I wish I saw them more in the streets. They're pretty rare here in Belgium. I've never seen a Tuscan in real life.

If I had started a poll about TVR's I would have given you the choice between the Tuscan speed six (360hp) and the new TVR T350C (350hp). Why? Well because they both have some very good points. The Tuscan looks real agressive and I love that but the back is a bit weird. The new TVR T350C has a great backside and should be a bit more stable along to some car journalists.

here are some pic's:

Yes a guy up the road from me has a light blue tuscan (I think you see a little bit of it on my video from saturday)...I will have to introduce myself to him properly when I see him next....as he seemed to be quite interested in the Lambo as we went past....maybe I can get some video of it in action...

Ooow, that would be very very cool :P

But if I were you I would certainly ask him about his car. If he takes it to track days, if he has much problems with it, why he bought it, ...

It would be interesting to have a conversation with a Tuscan owner.

And off course tell us afterwards about it :wink:

Yes I did notice it in the video, looked quite nice!!!

I wish I could get some cameras mounted to my car that wouldnt do it any damage as I see quite a few interesting things on my travels...although it would be very hard for me to come close to some of the cars TT sees on a daily basis :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: ...did you mention about the Zonda yet TT ?

Nono, sorry, I didn't explained like I should :)

It wasn not me.. :( but my friends, driving back to Italy... they phoned me, screaming like mad ppl! A ZONDA, dude, there is a fucking Zonda right here and we don't have a fucking digi-camera!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO. Lucky bastards they are!

The best I saw today was a Clio V6 Mk II today...

Ah zonda :o

Plz tell me you had your camera with you and you took some pics ...

Love that car.

I found it quite cool that I had the chance to look at those 4 merc AMG - old jag & Maybach today. There was a Mercedes representative there, and if I had the chance I would have had a little chat with him but my dad insisted we had to go further.

Definitely the Tuscan.. the Cerbera's design is almost too boring compared to the perfomance of the car. Just wondering, why can't they make a TVR with AWD or 4WD? At least that'll keep the TVR owners alive long enough to buy a second one :)

You guys are so lucky, getting to see all the nice supercars on the road. It's like virtually impossible to spot them around here. They're basically all hidden in underground parking in downtown area... the best car I've seen this year is only a 911 turbo 993 :(

/me goes back to supercar withdrawal...........

Im not scared of the car, I would look forward to taming one.

Jabba I am really interested in what the guy down the street from you has to say about the reliability of the car. Maybe you can do a little interview with him and or maybe go for a drive in exchange for a ride in your Lambo.

Also Jabba, I am quite interested in you experience owning a Diablo and a 355. Like the reliabilty of them and which is more fun to drive. I know im getting a 355 but a Diablo is so much more expensive. I was just wondering whether its worth it.
