4ltr 570bhp chimp....really??
Discussion
Might have miss heard what he said but does he really have a 570bhp from a 4ltr rover engine. I know you guys on this forum dream of Cerbera levels of power but I by the looks of it just stick with what you got.

That's a very nice supercharged 4l ,I think it produces around 360hp ,don`t know the torque . All I know is it shifts .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afXSkbvjGlM
Think you may have miss heared. Ask the man himself.....

Is that supposed to be a bit of humour or are you naturally condescending?Just curious...
Pretty sure that this is NickOrangeTvr's car and despite what anyone says it is a fantastic piece of engineering. We have had a bit of banter on the merits of supercharging v turbo, but credit where credit is due, it is guys like Nick and his old man that continue to push things on, even on lumps that are as old as the earth!
Watch out for their next creation; I'm told it should be on a track in 2015.

Yes they have had a special lS built for the Cerb with a close ratio gearbox for the trackWatch out for their next creation; I'm told it should be on a track in 2015.
That video was before the speedo conversion .

A 350z dusted it, must be really fast...
Firstly this was my first run out after taking delivery of the car - Brands is not a place to muck about if you are not 100% confident, second I was taking out a random who wanted to experience a TVR - so was taking it easy. It was also before we had even had it rolling roaded properly - and before it had the larger pulley put on. Just to remind everyone it is 360BHP (390BHP if I was on Surrey rolling road ) and 380lbs of torque.

Nick What`s your quickest 1/4 mile run to date ? and was that run with the smaller pulley and remap ?Just to remind everyone it is 360BHP (390BHP if I was on Surrey rolling road ) and 380lbs of torque.

That sheet says 12.66 @105mph, cheating with drag tyres though
Yes it was 12.66 (the 13 second was the other car!) This was first run on those tyres and I backed off halfway up the track as the side wobble you get from them was pretty unnerving the first time out! Plus the track was not 100% dry..
So all told next time I am hoping for 12 second flat with those tyres.
