Thumbs up Mystery targa top exotic car

Driving home from work an hour ago i spotted this STUNNING contraption of a vehicle on Blackburn Rd Doncaster East (MELB)
It had a targa roof and some kind of 9350t badge. The front looked very british (lotus style). Does anyone know what it is?

Yeah, I gotta tell you - It would want to look pretty bloody good in real life. Remember that Dodge Viper in the other thread?? I've never seen one of those in real life - and I know they look hot.

This... well... if munted looking Porsche 924s on acid are your thing then yeah... rock on.

the good thing about TVR's is they are cheap for what they are, and pretty much all do 0 to 100 in 4 seconds or so!

the tvr out of swordfish was a TVR cerbera - might have been the speed 12 version. not to be confused with the concept speed 12 - 880bhp, and 0-100kmh in 2.9 seconds. I dont think the cerbera is in production anymore, but there are plenty to be bought from europe second hand.

tvr's are goddamn elite cars. 400bhp from an NA straight six. cmon that engineering has got to count for something. as for the looks, they give me a boner, but they are pretty ostentatious and definitely not for everyone.
