In-game description

This description is taken from the original Gran Turismo:

TVR is now one of Britain's best specialist sports cars makers with a history to match Lotus. In 1995 it announced the Cerbera. It was given a wheelbase that was 284 mm longer than the two previous models and was turned into a 2+2 coupe. The front-engined Cerbera is powered by a 4.2-litre V8 OHC, called the AJP 8, made by TVR. This power unit offers 350 PS and 46.2 kgm, and is coupled with a 5-speed manual transmission. The combination of this engine and the body's light weight of 1,100 kg provides intense dynamics capabilities. It has a maximum speed of 257 km/h. This model, with its combination of a lightweight body and powerful engine, has all the traits of a classic sports car, but is still capable of embarrassing the most recent Japanese sports cars.
