I've been waiting to see what this car would look like since I heard about it through a mate quite a few months back.

One of the well known "modifiers" in the Max Power scene had a Cerbera in progress that is to be unveiled at this weekends Max Power Live show. Someone on one of the "Cruise" boards has posted clips to it already though (so might save myself the trip now, since it was the only thing I wanted to see!)...


Anyway - let's hear what you all think...

Fascinating - all I see is the Cruiseit.co.uk logo throughout the clip. Huh?

Umm...

Have you let the whole clip download before playing?

Try right clicking on the link and saving it to hard disk first, before playing it.

A Cerbie with nitrous?!?!? - How long do you reckon that will last?

The rear spoiler looks like a GT racer jobbie, so isn't too out of place, wheels look better than I thought they would, but the interior is garish and IMHO looks tacky... the design is simply too fussy.

Given the expertise held by some notable TVR specialists - I really can't see this thing lasting long, as I doubt these guys have the understanding of the car (but I may be wrong of course).

I seem to recall my mother telling me that if I didn't have anything nice to say, it was best to keep quiet.

That is quite simply the most hideous creation I've ever seen.

Sacrilege.

It's what happens when MaxieP boys get given to much pocket money, I now it's a 'show' car but it's just gone too far, whats the point of the 2nd TV when you've replaced the rear seats wit speakers?
And it's going to need the Nitros to haul about the extra weight of all the CD/TV/DVD, speakers, amps, etc.
And I'm not keen on the colour

I tell you what, come the revolution the people that did that will be first up against the wall, even before the cabinet.

That really is an example of what not to do with a TVR interior.

If I see it on the road theres a high chance I'd attempt to ram it off.

Blasphemy!

So was I!

I'm sorry but its my favourite car, a car I have lusted after since its release and they have ruined it. In fact, its the automotive equivalent of gilding the Venus De Milo.

Oh my god - that's is truely the final crime on humanity!

Unleash the trojan horses my friend as nothing is safe anymore...

This poor blackpool beastie must be put out of it's misery so the rest of us can hold our heads high again....

p.s. And why the hell 2 TV screens? Surely the blurred view out of the windows of any TVR is good enough.

p.p.s. Anybody got a torch & pitchfork?

Hmm, I bet that will handle nicely now it's got all that lovely weight. A DVD and TV is essential when you're belting along those A and B roads. I'm sure he's thought about all the unsprung weight of the wheels etc too. NOS is clearly a well known and advised additional to the AJP engine and he can look forward to many years of happy trouble-free motoring.

What a crock of sh*t.

Originally I thought the Nitros bottle was a Soda Stream drinks dispenser, not sure if I'd want explosive compressed gas in the cabin behind my seat?

Well I'll probably get shot down for this but I really like it, saw it a while ago as it was being made. As for running NOS, if it works on his I think I will try it on mine!!!, Performance wise this car is going to be impressive!!! Last year the same bloke made a Renault 5 turbo, It cost over 50K, does over 180mph and would leave most TVR's standing at the lights!!!! The lad who made it has his own buisness - Carisma - so it is not a case of someone who has been given too much pocket money!!! AIMO obviously!!

That was a joke as well (if it was the light blue one) TV's in the head rests but you couldn't sit in the back seats due to extra speakers
And as for doing 180mph in a Renault 5 I've seen the remains of one that crashed into a Frontera at 30mph
As a rolling advert for his company fair enough showcaseing 'what can be done' but I can't see many people wanting one

Reminds me of a 1970's hairdressers. All that red leather and chrome accessories.

Nice
