 TVR has had several owners who have put their own mark on the company. Peter Wheeler did just that and led several innovations for the company. TVR released the Cerbera in 1996 following a successful launch at the Birmingham Motor Show in 1994. The car continued in production until 2003. In August 2006, ‘The Last Cerbera’ was sold at auction by owner Nikolay Smolensky for £45,000. This car was a stunning example of the TVR Cerbera, in Pepper White with Prussian Blue leather interior. The auction was held in homage to this stunningly beautiful car, celebrating fantastic British car design.
The TVR Cerbera held many firsts for the company. The Cerbera was the first 2+2 coupe, with the addition of 2 small seats in the rear of the car. TVR famously called this a ‘3+1’ as the front passenger seat could be brought much further forward than the driver’s seat, allowing for a little more room for one lucky rear-seat passenger! The Cerbera was also the first hard-top, an innovation well received thanks to the typical British weather. One of the most notable differences in the Cerbera compared to other TVR cars previous is the development of an in-house TVR engine. Prior to the Cerbera, TVR purchased their engines from companies such as Ford, Triumph and Rover. Due to the sale of Rover to BMW, Wheeler decided it would be a safer option to produce their own engine. Thanks to the help from race engineers the new TVR engine series was born.
This new engine for the TVR Cerbera first came as a 4.2 litre, 360 horse power 75-degree V8 with a flat-plane crank. . A larger 4.5 litre engine was also produced with 420 bhp. TVR maintained superb performance thanks to the low weight of the car; approximately 1100kg. There are several unique features found on the Cerbera, including a custom designed dashboard and selection of interior options, including some of the finest leathers. The steering wheel of the Cerbera was also redesigned to give optimum visibility to the driver of the dials and instruments around the steering wheel. During development it was discovered that a three spar steering wheel would obstruct some of the dials, leading to the development of a two-spar wheel.
