	TVR Speed Six engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The TVR Speed Six (also known as the AJP-6) is the name of a normally aspirated straight-6 engine manufactured by TVR by its TVR Power subsidiary in Coventry, England and used in several of their cars including the TVR Tuscan, TVR Cerbera, TVR Tamora and TVR Sagaris.
		The engine's prototype was designed largely by independent engineer Al Melling (the "A" in AJP) originally as a 4.0 litre unit.
		The initial 4.0 litre version of the engine as used in the Cerbera produced 350 bhp but later incarnations of the mill have reached outputs of 400 bhp and higher in cars like the Tuscan S and Sagaris.

		It is propelled by the same 350 bhp version of TVR's Speed Six engine that has seen the Tamora decimate the competition in test after test by the motoring press.
		Now in production for five years, the Speed Six is a tried and tested unit and has performed admirably in the hothouse environment of GT endurance racing including the Spa 24 hour race in 2002.
		In all variants, TVR's own engine has been designed with responsiveness in mind which is the reason for it having individual throttle butterflies per cylinder and an ignition and fuelling map specifically written to make revs rise and fall instantaneously.

	TVR Speed Twelve engine - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The Speed Twelve is the name of a V12 engine manufactured by TVR for use in the TVR Speed 12 race car, and later the TVR Cerbera Speed Twelve road car, neither of which ever went into production.
		Unusually for an automobile, the Speed Twelve's engine block was not contructed of cast iron or aluminum alloy, but rather of steel
		When the prototype vehicle was road-tested by then-owner Peter Wheeler, he reportedly concluded that the vehicle was too powerful to be practical and the project was scrapped.

		TVR Engineering Limited is using miniature stepper motors from Crouzet in the heating system controls on its latest sports car, the Tuscan Speed Six.
		TVR's own 360bhp, straight six engine fitted to the Tuscan means that under-bonnet space is at a premium so the heating system controls found a home inside the front wing.
		Paul Harrop, development engineer at TVR designed a new digitally controlled heating system that supplies all the creature comforts expected in the Tuscan cabin while reducing the complexity of the control system.

		It has TVR's own straight six engine and has a novel roof design whereby, despite looking like a fixed head coupe, it is able to stow its roof and rear window in the boot, while still leaving room for luggage.
		However, with today's engine management systems and the far wider rev ranges of modern powerplants, it is no longer necessary to monitor the engine speed all the time.
		Like the Speed Twelve and racing variants of the Speed Eight engine, it has a dry sump which means it can sit very low in the chassis and that it doesn't suffer from oil surge which can be a problem with the long sump required for this configuration of engine.

		To TVR, the name "Speed Six" also means it is powered by a powerful inline six engine, but unlike the Bentley, it has 2 less cylinders than the normal TVRs.
		Saying it as smooth as BMW M3's engine is probably too exaggerated, however, the Speed Six engine is as smooth as other world class six pot engines, such as Porsche 911's boxer.
		TVR obviously tries to transform itself from a typical British specialist car maker (that is, producing cheap, raw but fast sports car by old technology) to a German sports car-beater.

		It is powered by TVR's own straight six engine which pumps out 360bhp plus it has a novel roof design whereby, despite looking like a fixed head coupe, it is able to store its roof and rear window in the boot, while still leaving room for luggage.
		Many of the features which make this car extraordinary are there for sound engineering reasons but the simplicity and elegance of their form that they have been left on show.
		The styling of the car has been very much influenced by the fact that it has a straight six engine mounted between the front wheels and it is this engine that is the heart of the car.

		The Speed 12 is loosely based on the TVR Cerebra 2+2 coupe, but with a V12 engine in place of the Cerebra's straight six or V8.
		TVR made the V12 by joining two of it's already powerful straight sixes together with a common crankshaft.
		The TVR straight six is easily tunable in road going form to over 450bhp, and when the V12 was put on the dynamometer in TVRs engine shop, it ran up to 980bhp+ before it broke the dyno!

		Apparently they are slowly improving, particularly in the engine department, but the overall build quality and very high servicing cost is still the main deterent for people looking to buying one (well, that and the lack of traction control, ABS and airbags!).
		TVR were allegedly aiming at wooing people out of their Boxsters with the 'baby' TVR's (Tamora, T350s), but I reckon the average Boxster buyer is more interested in the corporate pose value and prestige than out and out driving thrills.
		TVR can never hope to get the lardies to get out of their Ps, Bs and Ms Sory I was a bit heavy-handed about the 'excitement'.
