TVR Sagaris

The multitude of air vents, intake openings, and other features on the bodywork allow the car to be driven for extended periods of time on race tracks with no modifications required for cooling and ventilation.

The car's name comes from the sagaris, the Greek name of a lightweight battle-axe used by the Scythians, which was feared for its ability to penetrate the armour of their enemies.

Daniel Boardman, the Chief Engineer involved in the Sagaris project, was frustrated with well-known TVR quality issues, such as water ingress, carpets coming unstuck, and tricky handling.

The prototype had minor changes to the original car, including a revised rear fascia and exhaust system, and modifications to the interior.

The car entered had a standard factory chassis, but was fitted with an upgraded 420 hp (426 PS; 313 kW) TVR Supersport Speed Six engine.
