I wonder if we'll see a slightly different wheel design? Going by the drawing then we will see a stuuded spider wheel... Mmm, magnesium spiders anyone?

Split rims?

[Cacatous]

Split rims were what I was trying to say yes!

Danny - Are you suggesting that my 4.5 only makes 300lb/ft?! I'm going by the torque spread of a speed six 3.6 development unit I saw the dyno results for at the factory. John R and I compared it to my RR 4.5. The 6 could more or less match peak power at a little over 400bhp but torque at anything less then 5500 rpm was way down compared with the 4.5 AJP8.

Ah! 4.5 Red Rose! That's different - I agree, loads more torque. My 4.5RR peaked at 340ish though, and 400bhp spot on. That seems to agree with yours. Standard 4.5's are lucky to make over 310. Glad to see John R doesn't claim the bollocks 440bhp in person; just the marketing dept!

First order from Germany then Christof

Looks like TVR did the aero mods for you

Sagaris will probably have 400 bhp engine of Tuscan S, priced like Tuscan S.

It is based on T350C, with wider track, in order to enhance stability. It will be used as a one-make race car, the intention the T350C had.

I wonder what the "ass" will look like, as TVR seems to have a history of shocking the public with fantastic or less behinds.

The Sagaris is supposed to be unveiled today right? No pics/news yet?

[cacatous]

Yeah, any news?

[rods]

don't think its unveiled till this evening

[Waveboy14]

Oh come on, get on with it!

[bona8-2]

just seen it,it looks like a t350 doing an impression of jack nicholson in "the shining", you know "here's johnny!". it's in iced titanium and it seems to suit it well, could probably do with 19's at the rear but it's actually quite close to the drawing.

[Waveboy14]

Oh, no! Guess skipping my exam tomorrow and going to the show might pay off!

[bona8-2]

it's definately worth a look, lots of air intakes at the front (wonder how they will effect the top speed?) TVR are certainly true to their word, consepts straight into build and all that.
