TVR Sagaris - Just Don't Crash | Car Review | Top Gear

and welcome to this handy Top Gear table featuring all the cars currently made by TVR. You got the t 350 CT 350 TT 440, they are Typhon Tuscan and Tamura and I had no idea which is which, they are all exactly the same but All the plastic cased T things are identical, however I was driving the new TVR type the other day and I thought this feels a little different, so I brought it to our track to see what, like all TVRs, this new sagres looks like it has some crazy styling. having been designed by a lunatic and then hit with an ax and, like all TVRs, you can't

just

jump in it and go for a spin.

I mean, look at this as a startup procedure, so power up a Starship Enterprise, those are the dilithium crystals that are wearing down and you'd like to guess where the door handle is no, you're completely wrong it's that little button there and the radio is completely unfathomable and the ashtray is inaccessible and according to the speedometer the top speed is 20 oh no it is It's a four liter engine under the hood that produces 400 brake horsepower and has a fiberglass body that weighs about two ounces, so like all TVRs, it gets to over 60 in a staggering 3.8 seconds and at full speed.

You'll be moving at 3 miles per minute, that's one hundred and eighty miles in Oh, the car jingles and vibrates in pure light, the engine is trying to escape, there really is a lot of power, especially when you remember that this car cost less than 50,000. pounds, keep in mind you don't get much luxury, toys or safety equipment, there is no traction control and no NT tracks, no airbags either. The TBR argument has always been a good one, don't

crash

there, studies when I said what a guy, you know, there's now an agreement at the European level that all new cars will have anti-lock brakes.

I know we didn't get that memo, so like all TVRs, the sagres is devastatingly fast, loud, brutal, and relatively cheap. Be careful with the health and safety of Britain, the Bobby to come is a pleasure to escape, so what makes it different, well, let's take these cuts as an example in the sagres prototype, they were vents, they had holes in them, but they discovered that mud and stones were being removed. the tire through the holes and into the windshield now in the past TVR would have gone home darling that's terrible and then I would have put it up for sale anyway but now they are owned by a very rich Russian businessman, took the car back to the drawing board. and he completed them, it means they are thinking about customers, which is good in the old days.

I was always under the impression that TVR built a car, put it up for sale, and then figured out how it usually handles when one of their customers actually complains. about his dad walks with this one, even though they hired the guy who created the noble, which is probably the best handling car in the world. You can tell it doesn't even squat, it's been given surprisingly heavy springs and a much wider track. which as usual and the results are sensational it was great until it was for the heddle which worked one day they want for yellow this although this is excellent our position is a bit about listening to small overs sorry now TVR you did a decent Oh yeah never terminations.

I have driven for the last 20 years. I've been telling lies. Makes this one so special. I think if you had 50,000 pairs to spend on the car, you wouldn't buy it because you're a coward. that Mercedes slk55 we are in a couple of weeks, you are right. I would do it for a very simple reason because the Mercedes is Larry when you want it to be, but then when you

just

want to get home at night, yeah, then. he calms down because in a car and all this is always a clown car with his big shoes and his bow tie spinning and it smells like this flower, so the thing is, he thinks about two things: what is a hatchback and surprisingly comfortable? and the second thing is I think it's now going to be incredibly quick to go around our track to find out that we obviously have to hand it over to our meek race driver.

Some say that he lives in a tree and that the sweat from him can be used to clean precious metals, all we know. It's called the Stig, okay, go and look at those stupid side exhausts, this car really thinks it's crazy, but can it do a crazy lap first, skidding really well out there and really pretty sideways on the way out? Stig still in progress of him. rock Emerson Lake and Palmer this week Chicago looks much better there, has kept the tail under control, but now is the real test, it is the hammerhead shark, a little hairy when braking, who has it very sideways now, this really is a car of raw meat which, interestingly, is Stig's favorite food.

We come to the continuation. Willie left Willie not even a little bit. This will be a quick lap. Two more curves to go. I should say that this car drives incredibly well which is helpful and the levers will drive very sideways and wide. the line, yeah gasp, how fast do you think 124 is, so this kind of area here you are absolutely right, it's 120 4.6, that's the fastest type of normal super sports car, it's faster at 575, it's more Faster than an Evo FQ, it's right under the balls of Koenig and the Saunders and so on, that's very, very fast.

I had myself maintain the Mercedes 55 to keep up with you.
