FactChief engineer Daniel Boardman built the Sagaris to finally beat TVR's own reputation for water leaks and twitchy handling.
The TVR Sagaris is a sports car designed and built by TVR from 2005 to 2006 at its Blackpool factory, first shown at the MPH03 Auto Show in 2003, with the pre-production model at the 2004 Birmingham Motor Show and the production model released for public sale in 2005. Based on the TVR T350, it was designed with endurance racing in mind, and its multitude of air vents and intake openings allow it to be driven for extended periods on race tracks with no modifications for cooling. Chief Engineer Daniel Boardman, frustrated with well-known TVR quality issues such as water ingress and tricky handling, ensured it was engineered properly from the start, and Jeremy Clarkson described it as "the best TVR ever made". Like other TVRs of the period it ignores the guideline that new cars should be fitted with ABS and front airbags, and eschews electronic driver aids; 213 were produced.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

TVR named its Sagaris after a Scythian battle-axe so sharp it was feared for cutting straight through enemy armor — a fitting name for the brand's sharpest-edged car.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
