The gestation of the Sagaris began with a notion to develop and enter the TVR T350 in N-GT racing. In much the same
way as the TVR Cerbera mutated into the wild Cerbera Speed 12 for the GT1 racing class, so the T350 was widened (by
50mm), lowered (by 25mm), subjected to the wind-tunnel and, last but not least, given a healthy power boost with a 4.0
litre TVR Speed Six engine.
The Sagaris first broke cover at MPH2003 in London (November 2003) where it stole the show with a surprise
appearance in the action arena. That prototype car starred in the reality TV show “The Heist”, where the objective of the
programme was to steal a priceless concept car. The Sagaris was displayed in racing trim at the 2004 Autosport show
and, in pre-production form at the 2004 Birmingham Motor Show (along with the Tuscan Mk2).
Production was due to start later in 2004 #automobile #bestlemming #car #ride #Sagaris #TVR #vehicle
