Presenting the TVR Sagaris, 400bhp from a 4.0l inline six (hmmm Ford? ;)); it almost had potential:

You hear a Sagaris coming the other way before you see it!!  It still be happy with a Tuscan  This is also worth a look... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxc22C5bvAc

TVRs look awesome!! Especially the Sagaris!
I agree with dansedgli about the rear wing though, very unusual. |

They are totally incapable of behaving themselves when the loud pedal is hit....one if the last muscle cars...a tad unreliable but extremely lairy machines! :eclipsee_
Yes, the Cerbera is still the king...V8's still rule, god they sound incredible!

I will have to agree with XRated, I can see the appeal. But its like they are trying to out do the Japanese aftermarket with that body. Everything I do find appealing about it I can find more of in the Viper or a Corvette.
I like the front end before the ripples and vents and whatever else it has though. I certainly want to hear one, look at the exhausts!

It's amusing, I'm sure if it had a Nissan or Toyota badge it would have the "riciest" rear-end and bonnet around. But none of you guys would be biassed...

I notice you're a Graphic Designer too - I do the same as well as Multimedia and Design. Like you said, the general design elements are nearly perfected in the Viper and 'Vette: long-bonnet, small cabin, wide track and short bum.

Nice body, but the interiors have got to be one of the most ugliest ive seen.

Id happily own any TVR! Ive never experienced one, other than the Gran Turismo games, and once modded (even stock) they are a handful! This thing is a beast aswell, Speed 12  b

Didn't Jeremy Clarkson recon the Sagaris was built up then attacked with an axe.

For those Cerbera lovers, you've got good taste. But, the Sagaris is my favourite because of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRExsZLp3mk and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Jj4j...elated&search= and this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpeDI...elated&search= Oh momma...
