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:
here's the cerbera:

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....

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