I've had a Sagaris on order for some time now, but I have decided to go for the Tuscan 'S'2. The reason being, I feel that the Sagaris, although stunning, is just the same as the T350c. So as I've never owned a Tuscan and there is not many of the New Tuscan 2's, in 'S' format, I have decided to order one and become a Tuscaneer.

How's the handling, regarding track day’s..... Ooop's what I meant to say was high speed cornering. As for the engine, I'm a fan of the speed six and love the ease of driving and progressive/aggressive power when required.

Have you tried driving a Sagaris? I'd really recommend doing that (and a Tuscan 2 S) before making your mind up. Especially if you're talking about track days. I think you'll find that's where the Sagaris really excels over the T350 (and Tusc)... the looks aren't the main improvements!

I drove the pre production development Sagaris at the factory. It was a very quick car but, I was waiting for the supercharged version. This I know will be coming in the future but not this year. When it now does come,it will possibly be in a new chassis and body, therefore it won't be a Sagaris. The next thing that I've been told is that there may be a V8 N/asperated and a new super charged coming, this will also be in a 2006 model.

But buying a Tuscan S MkII won't save you from having a V8 or a supercharger. Would suggest driving a production Sagaris now they've got them in at the dealers. You should notice "a bit of a difference" to the handling on the Tuscan! If you're serious about doing track days, there's only one option in my mind. And more straight-line speed isn't what's called for... suspension that's been sorted by Bilstein, however, is something that's definitely "handy".
