TVR Sagaris becomes film star

Pirelli ad film shows car and Malkovich

TVR Sagaris: it's about control

Pirelli has made what it called its first full advertising film, dubbed The Call. It stars John Malkovich – and a TVR Sagaris.

There are plenty of doughnuts and tyre-smoking action – but as for the film's artistic merit, you'll have to judge. Let's just say that it's about control – and whether you can tame the beast...

We better send Pies to go and polish it

That was fun......

So how much did they pay Naomi Campbell for glowing in the dark and growling a bit....?

Enough to stick a few quid on the price of tyres, I'll wager.

[D4V KC]

That was cool, i like this type of thing. Did anyone see the short movies BMW made about they're cars a few years ago. They were fantastic, especially when Clive Owen delivers Madonna to a premier in an M5, was simply stunning car control!

Well done Pirelli though!

Very stylish.

Must say the hose pipe ban must be spreading across Europe and taking its toll.

That TVR was filthy, shame on them!

[Mr Whippy]

Ummmmmm...

Glad it's their bandwidth they are wasting!

Fantastic !

[Andy T]

That was 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back...


Possibly the most pointless and pretentious pices of drivel I've ever seen!

[Mr.Cerbera]

What a pile !

[simonkd]

Pure Crud!

[richb]

Give them a break guys, tyres aren't exactly the most glamorous thing to advertise and I reckon they've done a pretty good job with this!

So does this mean TVRs will now be fitted with Pirelli as standard?

p.p.s. I liked the big exec saloon, presumably it is a Lancia and not available in the UK, certainly not seen one before? Rich...

[v8_gwa]

Not entirely sure I'm now more likely to buy Pirellis or a Sagaris....

[Polarbert]

I thought that it was okay, bit different.

[dan_swin]

Not the most interesting film ever but how much extra is the flamethrower exhaust?

[Marki]

What a load of old bollox all that $ and thats the best they could do ,, pish poor

[R988]

Hell of an ad

The saloon car was a Lancia Thesis

[joeggallo]

Relax it's just another bumb a?? ad, it's still better the the dico rape crap bridgestone put out.
Enjoy the car,I know I did. it's not every day you see TVR in an ad,the exposure is great for a small company. Ads like this may help TVR on the map.

[Guillotine]

nice one...



my kind of TVR...DIRTY!

[DavidEVO1]

That was truly piss poor, I LOVED the BMW ones they were truly fantastic, great acting and beautiful cinematography, oh, and the cars were nice also; especially the M5 one!

Agreed, it’s a bit of publicity for TVR, and hey, any publicity is good publicity, or is it?

[Shake me up judy]

Waafe says it's 'cack' and I'm inclined to agree. The Sag looked great though... can you buy it in a matt finish? LOL

Pity they turned down an entire television series devoted to the marque.

Please say your kidding! I would have loved to have seen a tv series about TVRs
