Nice to see some new pics of this amazing TVR :D

[PATo355]

Horrible , i prefer the 350 much more "friendly"

[robruf]

i think he means 360 but i like the 360 yet it doesnt have the capabilities of this car... but what bothers me most is the rear bumper and the clear spoiler

[Anonymous]

One of the best looking cars i've seen till you get to the back what is going on with that bumper!

I think he meant the TVR T350 ;)

[Sachmo12345]

that one? im not to familliar with TVR's cept for the Cerebra and the Tuscan. Judging from the Performance specs it seems a little off power but probably has the weightlessness to back up the power with speed (off the Sagaris by 50HP and this car looks a bit more blunt than the agressive look of the Sagaris. Also that is a Five Speed decreasing the freedom of the 6 Speed but all around its a nice car to look at.

i don't like it

far to busy no matter where you look at it

[5vz-fe]

Wow, AZNSUNNYD, ur pics are even better than the magazine ones ..thx alot, I loved that TVR

[hemi_fan]

wow, I love the look of that car!! Its so bad ass looking, and IN YOUR FACE! The rear-end is kinda iffy though, but im sure I would grow to love its uniqueness if I ever owned one.

[5.7 V10]

Great pictures, but i already have them. I'm a huge TVR fan, i love this car. The same straight 6 from the Tuscan S, 400BHP. Autocar got 0-60 in 3.68 seconds with the Tuscan S. So i'm guessing this is 3.6 second rocket. Plus, TVR says this is there most aerodynamic car. This car will be awesome around the track.

[krlos]

The only things i like on this car are the rims, the lights and the interior if i really concentrate....

[mit5005]

I have always been a fan of TVR. They have a strange but amazing look to them. And you can't forget how good they sound either. Very nice pics AZN.

[toprpm]

first TVR is nice but whats the reason behind that big ass, ???
the 2 TVR is cool spicualy the color companation

[levensnevel]

Thanks AZNSUNNYD,

She still rocks me of my feet :!:

[Fleischmann]

I think they went a bit over the top with the styling. They wanted to make it look too hardcore and it turned out to be a bit of a mess. A shame really :(

The new front is cool though.

[chest3r]

The front is great but the back is weird!!! I don't like it

[oantob]

great pics...but i dont like the car... i preffer the TVR tuscan speed six from the swordfish movie

[gogo4ever]

Amazing car... Awesome from the front.
Very aggressive... The back side; not like very much but it is very different and radical changes were made; headlights, spoiler etc.
Absolutely awesome

[Vansquish]

The reason the wing is clear like that is so that during normal driving, or racing (which is where the Sagaris will probably be used most), there is still some rear vision to see the cars behind you. I rather like the Sagaris, even more than the T350. The T350 is beautiful and clean, and the Sagaris is just plain mean looking. The only problem I have with it is the rear diffuser and exhaust setup I suppose that was the only way to fit the mufflers and still maintain the short rear overhang, but they could've done it better. TVR has done strange things to the back end of cars before. Look at the Cerbera Speed 12 if you want proof.

[Erez]

this is the only TVR that i think they went to far with the looks.. its a bit too mad for me... with a bit of cleaner rear, and a normal roof.. it would have been much better IMO...

[jon_s]

One of the best looking cars i've seen till you get to the back what is going on with that bumper!

I know what you mean, from some angles it looks just right, and from other, plane wrong!

As for the bumper, it has a lot to do with the exhaust. In order for them to get the noise low enough to pass EU regs, they had to have a certain length of exhanust. The result is that strange 90 degree bend in the exhaust.

[robruf]

jon_s has a point there Regulations for ALL countries have been a bitch lately and they even have had to stop some of the most beautiful cars like the Aston V8 Vantage man i did love that car with its Twin Supercharged V8... :o

[robruf]

http://www.pistonheads.com/doc.asp?c=102&i=7756 new pics sorry bout posting a link but im too tired to do everyone individually... from different angles! also

[svenson69]

i love it. even the back with its sideway exhausts, although i didn't like it when they first showed the car to public. i didn't like the t350's back too, and today i must say it's just awesome.

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Looks savage, I like it, even if it is a bit busy everywhere, it has a lot of mm....personality 8) and stunning performance :shock:

[toprpm]

The most stunning about TVR in general is their sound ......

[jon_s]

^^^^^Amen to that.

[Chingachgook]

Savage, I think it's not a car designe from humasn ,it's not a human car. It's so aggressive that if you'll have it in your rear view mirror, you'll risk to spin

[robruf]

i like the CF interior 8) so pimp

[Evo]

I like the car Over all.. No problem.. But don't you think the HP number's are a bit low for supercars standard nowadays. :? Or maybe it's just me.

[DMbaseball1604]

I love the TVR sound as well, that bumper looks pretty bad though..

[he7lius]

The car looks very much TVR and and looks very good, what wrong with the gear stick? And the head lamps aren't them from the Smart Brabus??
Don't like the rear specialy the rear wing?? :shock:

[svenson69]

what wrong with the gear stick?
do you mean this one here?

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9338/159932667.jpg

that's tvr's sequential gear stick (push for shifting up, pull for shifting down or vice versa).

however on other pics i've seen the sagaris with manual shift:

http://www.fast-autos.net/tvr/sagaris7.jpg

(actually all the cockpit looks different...)

[5.7 V10]

I like the car Over all.. No problem.. But don't you think the HP number's are a bit low for supercars standard nowadays. :? Or maybe it's just me.

They may seem low, but if you're concerned about speed, remember TVR's are weigh nothing.

[gucom]

Hell this car is 1 punk-ass ugly bitch. B.Engineering Edonis design applied to a TVR... its too extreme, only agression, no more beauty :( Ah well as long as they keep producing cars like the Tuscan i'll be happy :D

[svenson69]

right, power by weight counts.

actually the amount of horsepower they sqeeze from their own six cylinder inline engine ("speed six") is quite high. 4 liters, 400hp. the bigger the engine, the less additional power you get. and remember, the engine is not turbo- or super-charged :wink:

[Chingachgook]

I love the TVR because of the original look, and this car is one of the best examples. It's not elegant and at the same time sporty like a Ferrari 360, it's pure fury. The sound must be impressive like the look. And handling? I bet this won't be a car for sissies, it's so light and powerful and TVRs are known as demanding cars

[jon_s]

Certain TVR's have a similar reputation to the AC Cobra, albeit not quite as bad. They are a car to be resected, they are superb cars. I just hope they don't get sold off to some company in the future.

[robruf]

wow Svenson has done his homework he knows a lot about this TVR. nice how they dont use a Turbo or a Supercharger and i would prefer the manual :P

[veilsidebr]

those toys(or i would say joys) are pretty nice..i loved the all-new sagaris 2004...

very very beautiful

[svenson69]

wow Svenson has done his homework he knows a lot about this TVR. nice how they dont use a Turbo or a Supercharger and i would prefer the manual :P
i own an m3 e46 with this amazing sequential "smg ii" gearbox. if the tvr solution comes any close to this that would be my choice of sports car. manual shifting is nice, but once you get used to a sequential gearbox :P

i love the m3's non-turbo non-supercharged engine; i would say it's pretty comparable to a tvr speed six engine, by characteristics. the problem is that this car weights more than 1.5 tons, and this is where the tvr's shine. however, the m3 is a real every-day-car, i wouldn't trust in the tvr reliability to use it every day. the m3 is the perfect compromise for my needs. but the most recent tvr's are where my heart goes 8)

[robruf]

wow an M3 your lucky :D

[jon_s]

Ok, I think we are getting a little confused. The two pics on the previous page are of two (very special :wink: ) TVR's The top pic with all the carbon is the TVR Typhon and the red/grey interior is the Sagaris.

The Typhon will cost £80,000 and will have the brand new geear box, which is quite special. [details below]. The body of the car will also be carbon fiber. The gear box comes standard. Oh and there is a 2yr waiting list!

The Sagaris is being produced as the basis of a race car for TVR. I don't think it will come with the sequential gear box as standard, but it may be an option.

Now for the gearbox! This is quite special. TVR have yet to patent the design. The gear box is a project that was started with the mighty Speed 12, which has been continued. It is a different 'style' of box compared to many. TVR have been cagey with what goes on inside. However, it has been developed from a race car, but turning a heavy, noisy race car box into a road acceptable one is no mean feat. I expect that it will be very good....it needs to be, due to the competition!

[robruf]

actually i searched it and he is right (just now)

I'm hoping TVR doesn't get sold as well. But i don't think they will, last time i heard they weere doing pretty good. Strong sales.

edit: having had a look around, quite a few people have got pics of the Sagaris exterior and the Typhon interior :? For example:

[robruf]

yeah i got the pics off that site

[Chingachgook]

Thanks for the links, you know I'm a TVR lover!

[bluesbrother60]

The car would get my kudos if they just removed that horrible bumber on the back of the car. It is a very busy car yet the lines are in my opinion very graceful yet intimidating. All except the random back bumper...does it have a trailer hitch on it or something? lol

[troskap]

I do certainly enjoy looking at the Sagaris. With the trend of designs recently to either swing ultra-sleek or retro, seeing something this utterly raw is a refreshing. The fact that a lot of the details are actually there for a reason, like the louvers over the front wheels, and that hatch in the front of the car. The interior is pretty sparse, but that's rather in line with the more recent Tuscans, it seems. If that sequential shifter works like they're hoping it will, it'd be a phenomenal car.

Of course, that rear bumper could use some work. I'm perfectly fine with the Kamm-style tail, and the Perspex spoiler, but that bumper.... It looks like something some enterprising kid might try to fashion over a missing bumper from parts bought at a local Home Despot (or a DIY of your choice). Never too late to say you're sorry, TVR! :shock:

[heath]

what happened here? did they cover random body panels with glue then throw them across the workshop in the general direction of the car??

[heath]

What happened here? Did they cover random body panels with glue then hurl them across the workshop at the unfinished car?

[Sm@ck]

I like the car Over all.. No problem.. But don't you think the HP number's are a bit low for supercars standard nowadays. :? Or maybe it's just me.


well don't forget that TVR tend to weigh around 1000kg. That is 50% less than most "supercars"

So performance guaranteed!

[TVR_Fan]

I like this TVR you should hear one yum, it sounds very nice plus here is a link to a video buds.

The new version with the rear end revised is MUCH MUCH BETTER! I'm so in love with it

[Caps8419]

hey they revised the sagaris.... the back is changed... check it out at www.pistonheads.com.... click on TVR on the left.... ull see it...

[geebee]

Hi people :) I like this car very much. Does somebody have another big photos of T350 C? I did not find any when I tried. Thanx

[Vansquish]

If you look on Highresautoimages.com I'm sure you'll find some...you could also try dieselstation.com

[s4racer]

TVRs are simply awesome!!!

i did a factory tour, and it's really incredible how they build their cars, all by hand. building a one off race car is one thing, but mass producing hand built tubular spaceframe cars is phenomenal.

their race car division is also right next to their factory. I got to watch the engineers prepare their le mans race car, its great how close the street version is to the race version.

[rachaderua]

man this car is just everything...what an awesome design and engine!!!......very agressive style

[Tomerville]

Will they please import TVRs stateside?

[68-998]

Hrmm, I don't like the look of that at all. Kind of looks to me like it doesn't fit together properly.

I like the earlier TVRs though.

[gdc]

TVR is too over this time IMO

Exaggerated!!!

[mindgam3]

ooo the people from blackpool do it again ;) Saw it at the 04 motorshow, I thought at first when I saw it in magazines that it does look a bit busy, but it looks so much better in real life, the lines flow real nicely. All those vents do have purposes - those above the wheelarches are there to reduce the high-pressure spots that develop around the wheels at high speed. And the ones above the engine remain shut unless the engine gets excessively hot (eg after a hard run) when they will open.

Read about the latest turbo charged TVR here:

[heyloo]

That car looks amazing. Its design accents wouldn't fit any other car than TVR. It's a beautiful car with serious pumping heart and muscles...I love it!

[fabro_s]

It was really good when I start seeing the pictures, imagine a gallardo, then a 360 and a 911 aside that amazing TVR but then it turned to a nightmare whan I saw that rear end, what the hell happened there? looks like a batmobile!!!!! :|
