RE: TVR Sagaris

[daftlad]

Why is it, again IMHO, TVR have completely spoilt the looks of a car with the exhaust system. Didn't they learn the lesson with the Tamora?

I did hope they would do something radically different from the pre-production model. Can't see me owning something like that I'm afraid....

I also reckon bright (Dog Knob as Michael Caine calls it) red

I am now permenantly put off that colour!

IMO The Sagris is the best looking TVR yet.
Then again, all my favorite cars are mean looking Yanks OR things that look similar to Griffs (faired in lights like the Datusn 260, AM DB's, Jag E-Type etc)

If it is to be the GT3 of TVRs then it will be fantastic.

didnt like the original sagaris, but this imo the red and 19" wheels really set it off. still not sure about the little perspex wing though

I kind of thought - "Oh that's clever, they have worked the exhaust into the design to resemble the chrome quarter bumpers on the Vixen & Grantura". I think it's another design trick for people who remeber early TVRs. Rich...

Rich,
Maybe your recollection of alloy 1/4 bumpers is differnt to mine. I just think it looks a mess....

[BogBeast]

You think I'd get finance..?

[RichB]

Perhaps , but then I reckon the Sagaris would look better on the track! Rich...

I want a set of those wheels in 18 inch diameter - they are gorgeous.

I think the colour is Red Glow Pearl ... hard to tell with all the lighting they use at shows.

[nick beef]

I think TVR have got the Sagaris bang on now with the neater rear end and looks amazing... can't wait to see it now...

[razzle99]

Sorry, got to say even after a tidy up I still think it looks hideous. Looks like an unfortunate T350 that fell victim to the Max Power boys.

All IMHO obviously...

Tend to agree, maybe a wee bit harsh, but I know what you mean!!

[kojak69]

I better get saving up.

Question for PetrolTed:

Have you had a chance to have a peek at the interior yet?

[DustyC]

The negative comments about the Sagaris is something that draws me to it and its mean ness.
Imagine it hecking round a track, it would look the must menacing thing there. Lets get one to Le Mans or in the FIA GTs

Daftlad, Kojak69, don't you think it a more harmonious design than the T350 with its attenuated derriere?

Nope. But I'm sure it will look fine on a race track, and that rear is probably the view most people will see...

[Mrs Fish]

We are now going to the Motorshow on Saturday to check this beast out in the flesh.

Might be another change on the cards

[murcielago]
