The GT40 Successor You've NEVER HEARD OF - The Spectre R42 

I had a TVR back in the mid 90s and one of the events organised by the TVR club was a factory visit to Spectre. Great day seeing the cars in production and learning about them. The harbour shots in your video were taken around Poole Harbour close to where the factory was located in Poole, Dorset, UK.

What's awesome is the fact this car was free DLC for 1998's Need For Speed III Hot Pursuit.

Diablo headlights. I KNEW they looked familiar! That was a bombshell. The spectre r42 was amazing, thanks for the video

Always learning about something new here. Cheers

I'd rather have a 90s supercar than the spaceships of today.

I always thought they were Mercedes Benz rear lights. I didnt see that one coming 😂

I remember seeing a R42 cruising up I-95 North of Philadelphia in the mid 90s. If l hadn't seen an article about it in a car magazine l wouldn't have knew what it was. I was driving my 71 Ghibli SS (that l still have) and we exchanged waves. I have a car collection and go to lots of shows but that was the only Spectre l've ever seen. Every car l own is a driver, no matter how rare or valuable it is. Last year l completed a 7 year saga of restoring a basket case 1975 Countach. After finally getting it assembled and running l spent two years and several flatbed rides sorting it out. In the last year l've put 2800 miles on it. I love it because it's constantly trying to kill me lol! I love driving old cars, with bad brakes, poor handling, dangerous aero at high speed and big horsepower it requires skill to drive them fast. It's a fantastic rush.

Good stuff! I wish the algo would have recommended your channel before now!

Just like the rest, Brickland, DMC, Bradley, they had an idea, but small clientele, and low funding doomed them .

What game is that at end of this video. I must know. Never heard of this car before or seen it in a game so I would love to know what game that is please. Love your videos too. New subscriber and watching all 23 rn.

Nice presentation. 👍🏻

Do a video on the Ascari KZ1

Never heard about this car

Thank you

I saw this at a car show in the UK, I might even have a poster print of it. I thought it was going to be featured in a film.

Do you have a Panoz roadster video it seems like it would your style

the diablo also had rear lights from a bus

I remember those cars from the game gran tourismo 2 for playstation. The only place I'll ever see them probably lol. The newer McLarens are more ubiquitous though. I guess not as exclusive

Looks very much like the Mossler GT would be based on this car.

R42 - MR2 😂

cool

Does anyone remember Joss jp1 from Australia

I'm not sure the R42 deserves to be compared to things like the McLaren F1, It's more comparable to a TVR (I used to work for Spectre)

Very Dodge M4S or vice versa?

Honda Legend Rückleuchten.

Jaguar XL200?? Or 220?

Testarossa and F40 were 80s cars. Not 90s

How bout the gt90 still think that's a sexy car.. Has panels from space shuttle round engine bay or it melt.

I like the fact that it came with a ford V8 😊

Looks like the wraith car its an old Charlie Sheen movie

I’ve got a GT50 Hot Wheels

Do a video when Ford spanked Ferrari with the GT40

Ruf😉gives me a chubby 👍🏻🇺🇸

It's Testarossa, not Testarosa.

Utterly forgettable looks, cheap detailing.

Really? This thing looks like a Nascar.
