the design of car that TVR should have come up with as the perfect Mk 2 Cerbera - it looks gorgeous, has major hints of both the cerb and the tuscan - has everyone talking about it, and if TVR could have brought it in at about £65k with standard engine + solid warranty etc - i won't start the AJP vs Speed Six debate on that, - then surely this would have been a winner. Its a beaut, effortlessly desirable, stylish, covetable - and it should have a TVR badge on it 'cos that what it looks like and that is the heritage that TVR created. What a waste

Hi, it is stunning that's true, though Alfa have quoted me nearer 100k for the car. Pity it is proving such a battle to buy one!

partly that is the point - Alfa will be asking £100k which in my opinion is not TVR territory - but using a 'standard' chassis, etc and an established engine - which surely the S6 is by now, or a reactivated AJP V8, then the development costs would have been low and the car could have been brought in at around Sagaris prices but with a much more appropachable design that surely would have sold in a good quantity - it is SO gorgeous and it looks like it really should have a TVR badge on it - unlike the current moose that is featured on the pages of EVO. If you didn't know it was an Alfa you would have said it was a TVR.

Looks to me like a modern day Ferrari 250 GTO.
