Typhon and Sagaris Road/Track Test?

[cacatous]

Does anyone have an inside track on when these wonder cars will be tested on the road or track in any UK publication?

Getting restless now!

Try Evo this month, as mentioned in other threads.

Got mine today, but not gone through it properly as yet...

Generally TVR seem to only give the press cars to review when they have already sold a few though, so it might be a while before the others mags get to play with them.

The current Sagaris seen at MPH03, various dealers and pictured in Evo is the prototype, and the only one in existence.

It's insured for £750,000 apparently, so I doubt they'll be letting this one on track in the near future! The first cars I guess should be ready later on this year, but I understand that the first ones will be built for the Tuscan Challenge, with road cars being available from summer onwards.

I'm guessing that we'll have to wait until late summer for the first road tests...

You could always buy one if you're that keen to find out about the driving experience...

It does say in Evo that development of the Sagaris will be done by Peter Wheeler when he runs the car in the Tuscan Challenge this year

There's only a race chassis so far. So don't expect to see a Sagaris racing for a little while yet.

Martin Brundle threw the T440 round a track in his video.


Looked well cool

Didn't he say something along the lines of 'a bit too raw even for an ex-f1 driver like me....' although he did seem to enjoy himself on the track with it ......Well don't spose it would be very PC for an ex-mclaren driver to put it ahead of the F1 road car

I thought one of the best vids of TVRs was the actual TVR video which now has an 'addition' tagged on to the end, talking about the Typhon.

A clip shows a Typhon, Tuscan, T350 and Griff running line abreast directly towards the camera from a ground angle......

Really impressive sight to behold....well in my opinion anyway.

I must confess I didn't realise how much wider the Typhon is to the Tuscan.....

The Typhon is a real beast......

Damn

Well as they are making the Typhon maybe we can look forward to the Stig thrashing one in the next few months then?

PS. I would buy one if I could afford it!
