TVR CERBERA (1996 - 2005)叶重瓣(1996年至2005年)
The Cerbera, more than any other TVR before it, cemented the Blackpool company?s place in the big league of performance car manufacturers.重瓣的,比任何其他术前、黑池凝成的公司?在大联盟的表现,汽车厂家. Here was a proper 2+2 sports coupe with crushing power, sleek good looks and an affordable price tag.这里是一个适当的体育2+2采伐权与破碎,漂亮好看、价钱便宜. What?s more, it also offered a range of engines developed entirely in-house.什么?收盘以上,它还提供一系列的引擎开发完全在内部. Few believed that TVR had either the technical acumen or financial muscle to manage this, but with three different TVR-designed engines now residing under the elegant bonnets of the Cerbera range, some quite considerable amounts of humble pie have been eaten.隔了数相信无论技术还是财力驾驭这种触觉、但叶有三个不同设计引擎现在居住在优雅的引擎盖重瓣靶场有的相当数量谦和大饼已吃掉. One issue that has dogged the Cerbera has been reliability.有一个问题一直困扰重瓣的可靠性. Some high-profile cars have spectacularly failed, so what can the general public expect from a used model?有的高调车急转直下失败,那么可以用市民期待从模型? Find out here.找到这里.
HISTORY历史
The Cerbera was first displayed at the 1993 London Motor Show.首次亮相的重瓣1993伦敦汽车展. Named after Cerberus, the mythical three-headed dog guarding the gates of Hades, the show car was anything but a hellish dog?s dinner.cerberus命名,神话三头犬地狱门口守卫,花卉是什么车,而是魔鬼狗?收盘晚餐. Based on a lengthened Chimaera platform, the Cerbera stunned all who saw it.基于加长妄想平台,重瓣谁看了都大吃一惊. With its wild interior and long doors with no handles to break up the curvaceous lines, advance orders were taken from day one.与其野生内政部长门处理无弃山川秀美线预订取自一天. It wasn?t until the start of 1996 that the first customer cars were delivered.它.其余?直到1996笔开始第一车客户交付. Powered by the TVR AJP8 4.2-litre V8 engine, the Cerbera 4.2 hit the covers of every motoring magazine in the country with its incredible performance figures.马力的迷宫ajp84.2公升V8发动机,四月二日的重瓣击中汽车杂志封面,在每一个国家,其表现令人难以置信的数字. Unfortunately the press demonstrators suffered some problems, one locking its occupants in, another?s rear window being sucked out and a third having its timing chain disintegrate.示威群众遭到不幸新闻界的一些问题,其中一个上锁的住客,另?收盘后窗户被吸走,有三分之一的时间链瓦解.
Whilst working to fix many of the problems that owners were experiencing, TVR announced the Cerbera 4.5 in 1997.虽然工作排许多问题业主分别经历,叶宣布重瓣4.51997 With even more power than the 4.2-litre car (420 vs 360bhp) it was more muscular in the upper reaches of the rev band but slightly less responsive lower down, to the disappointment of some.更有力量比4.2-公升轿车(420比360bhp)据肌肉更在上游晨曦下反应稍慢,但波段下跌有些失望了.
January 1999 saw the launch of the Cerbera Speed Six, using a four-litre straight-six cylinder engine, again of TVR?s own design.1999年1月发射的重瓣看到速度六、用四公升直6缸发动机再隔?收盘自己设计. A remarkably lightweight and compact unit, the Speed Six developed 350bhp and even more torque than the 4.2-litre V8.一个非常轻量级和紧凑股,6速更发达350bhp扭矩比4.2公升V8的. The Speed Six is now the most popular engine choice in the entire TVR range, although most used Cerberas will be fitted with the 4.2-litre V8.速度是目前最流行的六个选择发动机在整个迷宫程、虽然大部分将用来cerberas装有4.2公升V8的.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
What?s it like to live with a Cerbera?什么?它喜欢居住在同一个收盘重瓣? Well, it?s certainly never dull.那么,为何?收盘当然不会平淡. The interior, with its underslung instruments and wild swooping dashboard never fails to delight, and gives rise to certain Cerbera rituals.内政部与underslung仪器仪表从来没有野生凌空高兴并引发一些重瓣礼仪. Pressing the red button under the steering wheel cuts the ignition.按下红色按钮点火削减下方向盘. The engine stops instantly, like a racing car.发动机瞬间停,像赛车车. That steering wheel holds push button controls for lights, washers wipers and horn.持,方向盘按钮控制灯光,洗衣机刮水器、喇叭. Once you?ve worked out which switch does what, it?s surprisingly intuitive.一旦你?转出其中是否有什么味,它?出乎意料的直觉.
The back seats are best reserved as additional luggage space, unless you plan to make a habit of transporting people who have no heads or legs.最佳座位后面预留空间作为额外的行李,除非你计划去习惯没有主管或运送人腿. There is however, a surprisingly generous amount of stowage space around the fascia.但是有一个宽大的装载空间出乎意料周围筋膜. Before you take a test drive in the Cerbera, it?ll boost your credibility enormously if you know the procedure for getting out of one.参加测试前您在驾驶重瓣,?信誉大大刺激当地如果你知道你的程序失控. There?s no internal door handle, you see.?收盘内部没有门处理,你看. The Griffith used a little lever on the transmission tunnel and the Chimaera had a rotating aluminium pastille next to the gearlever, but the Cerbera has something different.格里菲斯杠杆的运用就有点妄想了传输隧道,而旁边的gearlever旋转铝锭、但有一点不同重瓣. On the door?s side pocket is a tiny button which you?ll need to press to make the door spring open.关于大门?一边是一个很小的按钮,你的口袋?当地新闻界作必要的大门春天开放.
Likewise to get in you must deactivate the alarm and press a button on the underside of the door mirror.同样得到了警钟,你一定待发新闻烈性然后根据大门镜子. To start the Cerbera press a black button below the fuel gauge.启动按钮重瓣新闻黑色低于燃油量. Hold it in, wait for the electronic diagnostics to do their stuff and then listen to the engine spring into life.它举行,等待诊断学做电子的东西,然后听其发动机春天到生命. Both the AJP8 engines and the Speed Six respond to the throttle in an alarmingly direct way.无论ajp8引擎和六速度惊人,在回应了油门直接的方式. It feels as if the car?s engine is hardwired to your foot.好象车?你的脚下是硬的发动机. There?s no flab or mush in the throttle pedal.?收盘没有松弛或糊状的油门踏板. Press it and the revs rise, take your foot off and they die back.新闻资讯和摩擦增加,你先和他们过脚模回. Instantly.瞬间. People buy Cerberas for the soundtrack and the car doesn?t disappoint.人们买了原声带、汽车cerberas不惜?笔失望. It?s a magnificently hard-edged sound, quite different to the burbling Rover V8 cars of the past, but equally evocative.?一个出色的硬边声,迥异于以往burbling孚V8的车,但同样动人.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Pricing a used TVR is very tricky.定价是一个非常棘手用右. Many cover only very small mileages, and to a certain extent they are custom built, so it?s difficult to compare like with like.许多只很小哩,并在一定程度上定制他们建所以?收盘很难比较类似东西. This is part of the reason why you won?t find used values in any of the recognised price guides.这是部分原因,你赢了?找笔用价值的认可任何代价向导. What is well recognised is that they start to depreciate far more quickly when they are out of warranty due to a number of niggling problems.什么是公认的是,他们开始贬值来得很快在走出保修由于种种繁琐的问题. Insurance for all models is Group 20.所有型号的保险集团20.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
"I have amassed 2000 miles on dealer visits alone"."我已经00年里聚敛经销商单独访问". "Thank God for the warranty is all I can say"."It has let me down on every trip over 100 miles"."感谢上帝,我只能说是保证"."它让我击每次一百英里". "Interior finish is frightening"."室内整理是可怕的". There?s no gentle way to break the news to you.?收盘没有打破温柔地给你的消息. The TVR Cerbera is a spectacularly unreliable car.叶急转直下是靠不住的重瓣轿车. These quotes from owners are indicative of the many things that can and do go wrong with Cerberas.这些都显示了业主转述很多事情可以做cerberas出事. When asked what they would like to see improved on the car, owners wanted better ventilation, rear suspension that was less jittery, a handbrake that worked, brighter air conditioning LEDs, less wind noise, a better stereo, intermittent windscreen wipers, fewer electrical problems with doors and security, a clutch footrest, non vibrating rear view mirrors, better rear ground clearance and less brake squeal.当被问及他们希望改进的车,车主更要通风悬浮后方,不到紧张,handbrake,拼搏,美好空调发光,少风噪音,更立体、间歇雨刮器、电动少、安全门问题,猛地一离合器、后视镜无震动,更好地清理和少刹车尖后方. The key grouse was about the one-year warranty and many owners found the dealers unhelpful.关键松鸡约为1年保修和许多车主发现经销商无益. The most pertinent quote came from one frustrated owner who when asked what he most wanted in his Cerbera replied, "A spare car in the boot."最中肯引述一名来自受挫老板问他最想谁当他的重瓣答道:"备用车在车尾箱"
Common faults include misaligned gearchange linkages, warped rear suspension wishbones, snapped steering-wheel control ribbon cables, deteriorating rear anti-roll bar mounts, leaking radiator cores, seizing door hinges, ineffective crankshaft seals, and shearing clutch release arms.包括通病完了gearchange联系,后方受扭曲wishbones,逾三成方向盘控制丝带电缆每况愈下后方反滚杆套、散热器芯泄,抓住门铰、印章无效曲轴、离合器释放剪切武器. It?ll also be worth checking the alternator, water pump and remote boot opening system.?当地还值得检查发电机、水泵和边远车尾箱系统启用. The security system comes in for constant flak, with the ?plipper?保安制度是不断防弹同?plipper? having a very poor range with anything other than tip-top batteries and there have been several stories of owners being locked into their immobilised Cerbera.有一个非常贫穷与射程以外的任何首屈一指电池及业主故事有过多次被锁入固定重瓣. Two warranties were available for the Cerbera from new, 5 Star and 5 Star Gold.两名来自保供新重瓣,5星和5星金. Look for used cars which had the superior 5 Star Gold warranty.找旧车永川优于五星金牌保修. TVR hate reports which stress the car?s unreliability, but if they want us to eulogise over the car?s styling and performance, they have to put up with the other side of the coin as well.报导强调轿车右仇恨?收盘可靠、但是如果他们要我们过去eulogise车?收盘造型和表现,他们要忍受的另一面等.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
Trying to establish definitive parts prices for Cerberas is tricky, due in no small part to the fact that the vehicle has undergone a series of tiny ad-hoc improvements and changes throughout its lifetime.欲建通用零部件价格cerberas是高明归功于这一事实,即汽车已发生一连串小小的特设改善和改变其整个一生. Without a quotable chassis number many parts prices will fluctuate hugely.许多地方没有多少名言底盘价格将大幅度波动. Check your local dealer for details.检查您当地经销商查询.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Everything about the Cerbera is firm and purposeful.一切有关重瓣是坚定和针对性. The power steering offers minimal assistance, the clutch is heavy and the gearchange requires a hefty shove.督导提供电力援助微不足道,离合器沉重,大幅推gearchange要求. The power delivery of all Cerbera engines may come as a surprise if you?d been reading reports of the car?s explosive performance.电力全部交付重瓣引擎可能令人感到惊讶,如果你?四车内阅读报告?收盘爆炸性表现. There?s no peakiness, none of the drama of a turbocharged installation, just a massive wall of torque.?收盘peakiness没有,没有一个戏剧增压装置,只是一个庞大的围墙扭矩. The noise is a sharp bark rather than a rumble, and trying to catch the rapid rise and fall of the engine with the gearbox is an art that requires some practice.噪音是树皮,而不是一个尖锐的声响,并赶快兴亡引擎与变速箱是一门艺术,需要一些实践.
It?s only when you get the TVR up to speed through a series of bends that all the ingredients fall into place.?只有当你得到的速度通过了右弯,一连串的全部要素到位. The thick wheel rim feeds back all the road surface information you could ever need through those huge Bridgestone tyres, and the steering itself is so quick, you?ll only need a gentle roll of the wrists to send the Cerbera?s nose darting towards the next apex.厚厚轮辋所有路面信息反馈您可以通过这些以往需要巨额bridgestone轮胎而督导本身就是这么快你?当地只需要一个温柔的手腕,将一卷重瓣?收盘鼻子冲进走向未来顶峰. Get a bit brave and you?ll find the front-end grip more than a match for the back.得有点勇敢吧?当地找到前端握多障后面. The brakes are impressive four-pot AP-Racing callipers with ventilated discs, and have little trouble in retarding the lightweight TVR.四是可观刹车一锅鸭赛车卡尺与通风碟、小麻烦延缓了轻量级迷宫. Steering and stopping are no problem, but how much go does a Cerbera muster?督导及停车都没有问题,但是否去了多少重瓣催发? Rest to sixty in 4.0 seconds and a top speed of 180mph from the 4.2-litre car should satisfy that compunction.休息60年来最高时速达4.0秒,从180mph四点二公升汽车,不仅要满足内疚. The Speed Six figures are broadly comparable, but the added muscle of the 4.5-litre V8 lets it race up to 100mph in just 8.8 seconds.六个数字大致相若的速度,但又说肌肉的4.5公升V8的亮出马仅8月8日至100mph秒. That?s enough to make a Ferrari 550, Lamborghini Diablo VT or Porsche 911 GT3 appear somewhat tardy.为何?收盘足以使一个法拉利550、兰博基尼保时捷911或X染色体速网格计算似乎有点迟缓.
OVERALL 总体
You need to be brave to drive one and even braver to sign on the dotted line for a used TVR Cerbera.你必须勇敢驾驶人甚至勇敢签署了关于使用右虚线重瓣. Despite the car?s numerous faults, it?s still so much cheaper than anything else with an equivalent level of performance that perhaps this can be excused.尽管车?收盘诸多缺陷,?还有这么便宜的比什么都具有同等水平的业绩,这也许可以原谅. They say that fortune favours the brave.他们说发财偏袒勇敢. Good luck.好运.
