The name is derived from Cerberus the three-headed beast of Greek legend that guarded the entrance of Hades. The TVR Cerbera was the third car manufactured by TVR under the leadership of Peter Wheeler (the first was the Griffith and the second was the Chimaera). The car represented three firsts for the Wheeler-led company: The first hard-top—the Griffith and the Chimaera were both convertibles The first 2+2—TVRs were traditionally two-seaters The first to be driven by TVR's own engines—historically, TVR had purchased engines from mainstream manufacturers like Rover, Ford and Triumph The prototype was introduced at the 1994 Birmingham Motor Show.

(June 2008) Prior to the Cerbera, TVR had purchased V8 engines from Rover and then tuned them for their own use. When Rover was purchased by BMW, Peter Wheeler didn't want to risk problems should the Germans decide to stop manufacturing the engine. In response, he engaged the services of race engineer Al Melling to design a V8 engine that TVR could manufacture in-house and even potentially offer for sale to other car-makers. In an interview for the television programme Top Gear, Wheeler explained "Basically, we designed the engine as a race engine. It was my idea at the time that if we wanted to expand, we ought to make something that we could sell to other people. We've ended up with a 75-degree V8 with a flat-plane crank. The bottom-half of the engine to the heads is exactly as you would see in a current Formula One engine." Wheeler was quoted at the time of the car's launch as saying that the combination of light weight and high power was too much for a road car, a quote which ensured much free publicity in the press. Enthusiasts still argue about whether this was a typical example of Wheeler's legendary frankness, or an equally typical example of his PR chief Ben Samuelson's knack for saving on advertising costs by creating a story. The result was dubbed the "Speed Eight" (official designation 'AJP8' after Al Melling, John Ravenscroft and Peter Wheeler, a 4.2 L V8 producing 360 horsepower (268 kW). A larger version of the engine was later offered that displaced 4.5 litres and output rose to 420 horsepower (310 kW). This larger engine was also fitted with a crankshaft that was made of steel for added strength and reliability. The smaller motor allowed the Cerbera to still achieve up to 185 mph (297 km/h). The AJP8 has one of the highest specific outputs of any naturally aspirated V8 in the automotive world at 83.3 hp/litre for the 4.2 and 93.3 hp/litre for the 4.5. Later models of the 4.5 litre engine were given the option of being to the 'Red Rose' specification, which increased its output to 440 bhp (97.7 hp/litre) when fuelled with super-unleaded (high octane) and the driver pushed the unmarked button on the dashboard which altered the engine mapping to suit. In some cases, real-world outputs for production V8s (4.5 in particular) were down from TVRs quoted output. Some of these have seen some form of modification (ECU, induction, exhaust etc.) to bring the power back up to the factory quoted output. One of the unique attractions of the V8 Cerberas for many owners was the loud backfire produced on the over-run, usually when the throttle was disengaged, and particularly at low speeds. In fact this was the result of an argument at the factory between one of TVR's executives and the engineers mapping the engine. The engineers wanted to map out this "irregularity" to improve fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions, whilst the executive insisted it was exactly the kind of thing owners would like. In the end a compromise was reached in which the popping and banging remained on the 4.5 L cars. The engine is also unusually compact for a V8. According to TVR, the total weight of the finished engine is 121 kilograms (267 lb). With the success of the Speed Eight program, Wheeler also undertook the design of a "Speed Six" engine to complement it. This engine also made its debut in the Cerbera. Unlike the Speed Eight, the new engine is 4.0 litre inline slant six (I6) design. It also differs from the V8 in having four valves per cylinder to the Speed Eight's two. [edit] The car The car itself was designed from the start as a four-seater. The rear seats are smaller than the front, a design commonly referred to as a "2+2". However, the interior is designed so that the passenger seat can slide farther forward than the driver's seat. This allows more room for the person sitting behind the front passenger. TVR have referred to this as a "3+1" design. TVR maintained its tradition of building cars that were not only exceptionally powerful but also very light for their size and power output. The Cerbera's weight was quoted by TVR at 1100 kilograms, although customers claimed the weight varied between 1,060 kg (2,337 lb) and 1,200 kg (2,646 lb). The dashboard was designed especially for the Cerbera and uses a two-spar steering wheel as opposed to the typical three-spar previously found in most TVRs. The reason for this is that minor instruments are located on a small panel below the steering wheel and a third spar in the wheel would have made them difficult to read. Like all TVRs of the Peter Wheeler era, the Cerbera had a long-travel throttle to compensate for the lack of electronic traction-control and very sharp steering. The V8 powered cars were two turns from lock to lock and the Speed Six car was 2.4 turns. This made it easier for experienced drivers to maintain or regain control of the car in the event of a loss of traction but some less experienced drivers complained that it made the cars feel "twitchy" and more responsive than they would otherwise have preferred. In 2000, TVR changed the styling of the car slightly by modifying the headlights to more closely resemble those seen in the TVR Tuscan. The "facelift" features were available with all three engine configurations. In addition, the cars equipped with the 4.5 liter engine were offered with the "lightweight" option, reducing the overall weight through the use of lighter body panels and a slightly reworked interior. [edit] The Last Cerbera In August 2006, TVR held an online auction for what it billed as "The Last Cerbera". According to thelastcerbera.com, the website that TVR created especially for the auction, TVR's owner and chairman, Nikolay Smolensky (spelled "Nikolai Smolenski" on thelastcerbera.com site), brought the design out of retirement for one more unit as an homage to the "beautiful but brutish bygone British sports car." The "last Cerbera" was a 4.5 LW right-hand drive car in Pepper white with Prussian blue leather interior trim. The auction failed to meet its reserve price but TVR still decided to sell the car to the high bidder. The final bid was under £45,000 to which 5% plus 17.5% VAT would be added.[citation needed] [edit] Performance [edit] Speed Six 4.0L model Engine type: straight-6 DOHC 24v Power: 350 hp (261 kW; 355 PS) 0-60 mph: 4.4 seconds Top speed: 170 mph (273 km/h) Torque: 330 lb·ft (447 N·m) [edit] 4.2L model Engine type: V8 OHV 16v Power: 360 hp (268 kW; 365 PS) Torque: 320 lb·ft (434 N·m) at 4500 rpm Redline: 7000 rpm 0-60 mph: 4.2 seconds 1/4 mile time 12.4 seconds Top speed: 185 mph (297 km/h) [edit] 4.5L model Engine type: 4475cc V8 OHV 16v Power: 420 hp (313 kW; 426 PS) at 6750 rpm Torque: 380 lb·ft (515 N·m) at 4500 rpm Redline: 7000 rpm 0-60 mph: 3.9 seconds Top speed: 195 mph (313,7 km/h) [edit] Notes ^ "TVR Cerbera". carfolio.com. http://www.carfolio.com/search/results/?terms=TVR+Cerbera.

Queries should be addressed to cerbera@onelist.com The advice is merely a consensus of opinion, if in doubt please check with your dealer. Can I run on regular (95 RON) unleaded? Generally speaking yes you can, without any problems other than a decrease in power. The amount of the power loss is not known. Be aware though that the very earliest Cerberas running the early cam profiles and/or very early ECU versions may pink under load. What sports exhausts are available, and what are they like? Are they legal? Many people find that fitting a sports exhaust improves the sound of the car no end, because it adds a lot of bass to the rather tinny noise that the flat-plane crank AJP8 produces. There are a number of systems to choose from, (one early dealer offering should be avoided because it just doesn't last). Your first port of call should be your dealer. Team Central have a good looking system, and Fernhurst are about to produce a system that they claim will be bullet proof and gorgeously loud. The legality of loud exhausts appears to be a grey area. Generally speaking the police expect TVRs to be loud and don't seem to have a problem with them. How do I go about de-catting my car? Is it legal? Will it pass an MOT? A: There is some debate about the benefits of de-catting. Most 'experts' agree that merely removing the cats won't cause any problems as long as the Lambda sensors are left in place, and that the ECU does not need re-mapping. Simply replace the cats with equivalent lengths of exhaust piping. The main debate is whether the ECU automatically makes the most of the cat-less exhaust, or whether re-mapping is required to maximise the benefit. The consensus now appears to be that re-mapping, although optional, will increase the power over and above that gained by merely removing the cats. Over 460bhp has been quoted as the power output of a de-catted 4.5 with undisclosed work performed on the ECU, however other people say that a increase of 20bhp is more likely. Looks like somebody somewhere needs to get their car on a dyno! A word of warning though: driving your de-catted Cerbera on the public road is ILLEGAL. There have been anecdotal reports of £5000 fines for owners of M3s doing this. Note also that it'll miserably fail the MOT come its third (and subsequent) birthdays. However this is not such a problem - just bolt the cats back on for the MOT and then take them off again. A quick mention regarding the morality of this as well: A catted car uses up around 10% more fuel then one without cats, and converts all its carbon monoxide emissions to carbon dioxide - the greenhouse gas. Many people are of the opinion that catalytic convertors were only ever created to make politicians look like they're doing some good for the environment. Whatever your opinions, a few expensive sports cars driving around without cats is not going to cause the world to end. How do I stop the indicator beeper? A: There is a volume control for the indicator beeper mounted on the circuit board onto which the speedo and tacho are mounted. It is on the back (i.e. the side that points forwards in the car) of the board, in the top centre. To get to it, take off the leather-clad cowling that surrounds the top instrument pod by undoing the two butterfly nuts that can be found by groping away under the dash. You may find that you leave entire fingers behind whilst trying to find them. Why do the brakes squeal? A: Race-standard brakes often squeal. This is a problem that affects other supercars just as badly. Brake squeal is caused by the braking components resonating. This can apparently be "cured" by fitting anti-squeal shims which move the resonant frequency out of the audible range for humans (but cause dogs to explode every time you brake near one). These are now standard on Cerberas which are affected because of the hard compound of pad used. Later pad fitments are much quieter. Dismantling at every service for inspection and greasing is a must to prevent pads seizing in the callipers. Why doesn't the handbrake work? This is due to a number of factors, including the fact that you can't get a proper straight pull on the lever itself because its almost at shoulder height, but also because the handbrake itself operates on a small drum brake at the centre of the disc, and this small radius limits the braking torque effect it can exert. By relocating the cable anchor on the lever the braking effort can be improved (ask your dealer). A properly set-up and adjusted Cerbera handbrake can be made relatively effective. What is the breeze I'm getting in the back of my neck? Some cars suffer badly from this, others do not exhibit it at all. The draught comes from either a poorly sealing door seal or from the vents in the rear screen. Door seals can be a nightmare to get right due to the shape of the door. The rear vents can be partially blocked off with foam rubber. Be wary of blocking them off completely if the later heating system mods are fitted (separate hot and cold vents as opposed to a "mixer" system), since this system recirculates the air in the cabin, and if the rear vents are blocked completely the car can steam up since no fresh air can enter. What is the best starting procedure for the car? Some dealers neglect to mention that when you start the car, partly depress the throttle as the engine turns over. This should make it start easily. Without this, starting can be next to impossible, however owners can easily fail to try this if they have got so used to modern computer managed cars in which you are told NOT to use any throttle during starting. After starting keep the engine at around 1500 RPM for a minute. Avoid "blipping" the throttle repeatedly since this gives acceleration enrichment leading to cylinder bore washing or flooding. However if there are lots of people watching you, repeated blipping of the throttle may be mandatory. Why is the radio reception so bad? This seems to vary from car to car. Some people report dreadful reception, others have no problem - at least on FM anyway. Adding an external aerial helps tremendously - see your dealer or a local ICE specialist for help. If you stereo was fitted by the dealer, you may want to go directly to them and complain about the reception. If they try to tell you that they're all like that sir, don't believe them! It should be noted however, that AM reception appears to be terrible on almost all Cerberas. Does it matter than I've ripped the chin spoiler off my car? The aluminium chin spoiler is very vulnerable and tends to get bent and/or torn off very easily. It is partly there to prevent lift at high speeds, and thus is extremely important if you plan to get well into the upper reaches of the car's performance, otherwise you stand a chance of the steering going light on you just when you really don't need it (remember that Merc at Le Mans '99?). Anecdotal reports speak of no problems at around 120mph with the spoiler missing however. The other reason for the splitter is to increase air-flow through the radiator by prevent air entering the underside of the car and thus decreasing the pressure differential between the front and rear of the radiator. Therefore you could experience overheating problems without the splitter, however no reports of such problems have yet surfaced. Why does it sound like a bag of nails when I start it up? The diesel tractor impression is due to a few things, but generally that the engine and engine-bay make no attempt at noise suppression, unlike your average production car. Also it has plenty of noisy gears in the cam drivetrain, and on earlier cars the cams themselves are noisy. Later cars have the so-called "soft" cams, however some owners have reported a preference for the early cams because they like the edge that they add to the engine noise. Other aspects such as servicing and tappet clearance also come into it, but generally speaking the engine is meant to be noisy, so stop complaining and go out and drive it! What on earth is a flat-plane crank? Like most Ferraris, the Cerbera's AJP8 engine uses a flat-plane crank. "Flat-plane" means that the crank throws are all in a single plane - i.e. if you laid the crank on a desk it would be flat. Laying the crank of a conventional (twin-plane) V8 on a desk would result in a very three-dimensional wobbly thing sitting there. In both cases however, the desk will get very oily. With a twin plane you get eight evenly spaced firing intervals for every two complete engine revolutions, but the downside is that you can't take advantage of exhaust pulse extraction effects since the manifold design is prohibitive. The Cerbera's flat plane crank means that the engine (essentially) becomes two four cylinder engines operating on a common crankshaft, so the exhaust design is made like a traditional 4-2-1 set up to take advantage of pulse tuning effects. Thus a flat-plane crank produces an engine that is more powerful but rougher in nature. It also means that the engine sounds like a pair of four cylinder engines together, rather than the classic "warble" of a V8 (e.g. the Rover engines used in Griffiths and Chimaeras). As a point of useless trivia, a four cylinder engine in a "boxer" configuration, as used by old Alfas, Beetles and of course the Subaru Impreza sounds like a classic V8. The unusual exhaust sound is made even more weird by the "V" angle not being 90 degrees. Its 75 degree angle means the engine doesn't behave exactly like two four-cylinder engines since instead of the firing intervals being 90 + 90 degrees apart they are 75 + 105 degrees apart. I bet you didn't really want all that gory detail, did you? And I bet you're now wanting to know what "pulse effects" are? Basically its a technique where exhaust gets actively sucked out of the cylinders by the exhaust system, due to standing waves being set up in the exhaust pipes. Better? I didn't think so.... What are the rules for running the car in? Opinions differ, but there is a general consensus that it is worth being careful, as it makes the engine smoother and actually more powerful in the long-run. However this is not unanimous, and some people claim that you can thrash the engine from the word go. You should be warned however that TVR have been known to refuse warranty claims on engine problems if they find out that the car has, for instance, been taken on a track day when less than 2000 miles old. A sensible scheme is the following: Mileage Behaviour 0-200 miles 3000rpm 200-1000 miles 4000rpm 1000-1500 4500rpm, occasionally more 1500-2000 Start opening it up more and using high revs once in a while 2000 Let rip.. During the first 1000 miles never use full throttle, never strain the engine, and avoid prolonged periods at constant revs. During the second 1000 miles start breaking these rules very gradually, but only really start using the car freely after 1500 miles, and even then, show restraint. It should be noted that the factory's official line is that the engine is not fully run-in until it has done 6000 miles, which is why at this mileage it is "converted" to fully-synthetic oil (i.e. some bloke in overalls pours Mobil One into it). What are the differences in the nature of power delivery between the 4.2 and the 4.5? The first 4.2 had radical camshaft profiles which produce a definite step at around 3700 RPM in the power curve. They are also the noisiest, so later cars have softer cams giving a flatter torque curve. To a large extent the early cam benefit was lost due to the inefficient rear silencer design which robbed the engine of around 20 BHP. Later silencers are very efficient. The 4.5 is much faster altogether, it may not give as much torque at the very bottom of the rev range, but you're never there long enough to notice! How do I get into my car if the battery's flat? There is a way to do this, but we don't want to publicise it here because of the aid it would give to thieves. If you're stuck during office hours, call your dealer. Otherwise, the AA know about the method, and should be able to help you if you're a member. Failing this, drop a mail to the Cerbera mailing list if you can get to a computer! Otherwise, you're going to be a bit stuck until your dealer wakes up. I can hear a knocking from the back of the car, what is this likely to be? A knocking from the rear is more than likely going to be part of the exhaust hitting the chassis. The exhaust is very heavy and not particularly well located, and also grows in length when hot by about 1 1/2 inches! There are also known problems with the rear shocks causing knocking (although this should be only when cold), the differential bolts can work loose, the diff mount can fatigue and crack, or the diff mount bush can split. If you've got a knocking, grab the tail-pipes and give them a shake: if you can hear the knocking then this is all it is and you shouldn't lose sleep over it. If not then it may be more serious, so get your car looked at by your dealer as soon as possible. Is my Hydratrak working - I still get wheelspin if one wheel is on grass? The Hydratrak diff does not work like normal limited slip diffs. This sort of behaviour is perfectly normal, and does not indicate a fault with the unit. What is the real top-speed of the Cerbera? This is a point of much debate! The car is geared for over 200mph [S6?], but there are no confirmed reports of anybody getting one up to this speed. There are multiple tales of exceeding 190mph in both the 4.2 and 4.5 however. Anybody fancy setting the record straight? What happened to the carbon-fibre inlet pipes on the 4.5? The carbon fibre pipes shown on the magazine review cars were dropped for the production car due to cracking problems. Although they don't look as good, and on first sight appear to restrict airflow due to being squeezed, apparently they are actually better than the carbon-fibre pipes. According to a technical source at TVR, they just tried the rubber pipes as a solution to the cracking problem and were surprised to find that the power had increased. This is possibly why the original quote of 440bhp, which was dropped to 400bhp after the state of tune was found to be too radical, then went back up to 420bhp by the time customer cars were delivered. The rubber pipes are also quieter than the carbon fibre ones as they absorb some of the induction noise, however many Cerbera owners will not consider this to be an advantage! Where's the best place to get tyres, and how much should I pay? Micheldever tyres seems to have a reputation for being cheap. Elite are also very good. If you can't get there, ring for a price anyway and get your local place to price match - some will even if it's miles away. Both Elite and Micheldever will send by mail order. You'll find that even franchised places such as ATS will match prices - the local managers have a surprising degree of flexibility over such things. Early Cerberas were fitted with Bridgestone S01s, later ones have Bridgestone S02s. The very latest is the Bridgestone S02 Pole Position (an improved version of the old S02 which deliver better wet-weather performance when worn). Stick to S02 PPs and you can't go wrong, although it is HIGHLY advisable to replace all 4 tyres at once, particularly if you're changing from S01s or S02s to S02 PPs. Some people swap to Yokohamas. These give more grip but wear more quickly and give less warning of breaking away. Leaving changing your tyres to the moment that you're down to the legal minimum of 1.6mm is not sensible in a car as mad as the Cerbera. Record prices recorded for S02 PPs so far (each, including fitting): Micheldever Tyres, Micheldever Station, Winchester, Hampshire, SO21 3AP Tel: 01962 774437 Elite 136-138 New Road Rainham Essex RM13 8DE Tel: 01708 525577 Where can I get an alloy handbrake handle? Talk to Clive Reed. Why do some Cerbera have alloy pedals? Where can I get some for mine? The story goes that 4.5s come with alloy pedals loose in the boot - they can't be fitted at the factory for type approval reasons. Nice dealers than fit them before the customer ever sees the car. Lazy dealers just leave them in the boot. Devious dealers charge the customer for them. Otherwise, try Demon Tweaks (01978 664466). They'll supply nasty stick on things, which really aren't the same as the proper adjustable TVR jobs. Fears about feet slipping off them when wet are unfounded. || || Car Search Car News Car Reviews Sell My Car Sign In Used TVR Cerbera Search for a TVR Cerbera for sale here or many other used cars for sale € € TVR Cerbera - Here is a sample of our Used TVR Cerbera cars for sale TVR Cerbera TVR Cerbera Speed Six - Full TVR Service in April 2010 (£1,073) MOT until April 2011 Full TVR Service history since new.
