The TVR Sagaris is a two-seater sports car designed and manufactured in Lancashire, UK. The name of the car in Greek means the name of an easy combat ax from ancient times. The car was designed by Graham Browne and Lee Hodgetts on the basis of the older TVR T350. Sagaris will not call the design a delicacy - it stands out not only on the street, but also in exhibitions next to other extreme cars. The car was designed with the Sagaris in mind for endurance racing, so only the delivered model had the features it needed, such as multiple air vents for cooling and air supply to the engine, fuel filler arrangement, bonnet locks and more. The roof of the car is asymmetrical i.e. has one protrusion above the driver's head. Although the Sagaris holds the road well, this car is not for newbies - the accelerator needs to be dosed with extreme care, as the rear wheels tend to lose traction easily, the suspension is extremely stiff, the car’s spoilers almost reach the ground, and so on. In a word, it’s an extreme car for adrenaline fanatics. Like all modern JHAs, the Sagaris does not have the safety features required by the European Union - ABS systems, airbags, as well as electronic stability and traction control systems. The manufacturers claim that the JHA models are designed to be perfectly manageable and thus avoid serious accidents. An updated Sagaris appeared in 2008, but the car received only a few minor upgrades - a slightly modified front end, exhaust system and interior.
