Its the new TR Speed 12 Turbo by Helical Technology, made by previous TVR Mechanics and debuted at Goodwood. Good to see rare classics coming back...

Indeed that's what it is.
I have a different name for the maker though so it's locked to see if you can come up with it.

That's what I was looking for!
It's a recreation of the TVR Speed 12 which TVR had made 2 of when they folded back in about 2007.
Not sure what engine it has, but not a V12!
Well done.

Everywhere i’ve looked says it does have a V12 like the original, and that it makes 1012 bhp. More than a P1!

Yes you're right; they say it has a "Twin Turbo 6.0 litre MJP 60 degree dry sump V12".
What's an "MJP" engine and where do they come from? Is it a marine engine?
