hi there, just wondered if anyone could help me find footage of the topgear lap time for the tuscan, and if anyone knows if it was the 3.6, 4.0, or tuscan S that did it. tried looking on google video and topgear web site, but with no luck.
any ideas

Daftlad, i agree with you, but you must see some peoples view, they spend £50,000 plus on a car and somebody calls them a NOTHING car, i dont think that is fair.
Anyway, nobody has answered the first question, IS the saggy £8-9 thousand over priced..........
Edited to say, is the saggy as fast as a tuscan or are they the same.........

Is the Sagaris as fast as a tuscan or are they the same??? In a straight line with the same gearing they are pretty much the same (until aerodynamics get in the way at silly speeds).

Is the T2S as quick as a Sagaris on a track - standard? No where near I'm afraid, unless the track is Bruntingthorpe, Elvington or Santa Pod. BUT....... did you buy it for that?? wink

Rubbish, if anything the T2S would be quicker in the right hands, I have driven both on track.
The Sag is easy to drive on the limit and not as hairy, thats the only difference.

But don't take my word for it take the Stigs around the very twisty Top Gear Track.


TVR Sagaris 1.24.6
TVR Tuscan 2 1.24.8 (not S)wink

I borrowed a Sagaris for a while and I honestly thought my Tuscan was quicker, and much more exciting.

I might be wrong but I am pretty sure they tested the Tuscan 2 against the Wiesmann Roadster and from memory they used a Tuscan 3.6......they also said they would all prefer the Wiesmann to the Tuscan which made me mad.....what do they know anyway!!??
