What is that exotic car driven by J. Travolta in "Swordfish?"

[Joel]

A friends says it's a modified Dodge Viper.
I say it's a TVR (based on what I remember reading somewhere).

Anyone know?

Let's try this one again (I messed up the last time I replied to this thread) - it's a Tuscan Speed Six.

edit : Wasn't trying to disagree about it being a TVR; rather, was trying to pin down the model. Guess I should have specified...

I believe you can see the TVR Speed Six and the Speed 12 in GT3. The Speed 12 is a *fast* car when tuned well in that game.

Which doesn't change the fact that it is a TVR. Trivia question: what do the letters "TVR" signify in the name of the company? Answer later.

Well I don't know about an abomination exactly but it *is* taken from the name of the founder: Trevor Wilkinson who founded the company in 1947.
