TVR Sagaris - Designed By A Lunatic, Then Hit With An Axe!

[@Karl-w6r]

I worked at a very well known car insurance company, and the amounts of fatality tvr car crashes I came across was astonishing. It really seemed that if you had the skills to handle such beasts you rarely even 'dinged' TVRs, if you were lacking said skills you not only invariably crashed.....but nearly always crashed spectacularly and died.

[@hedonisticvanity]

If you look at the frame and door structure, they basically have eff all when it comes to side impact. When you have a car notorious for being tossed off the road sideways, and no real safety structure, well you can figure it out.

Incredible car. It's such a throwback to the days where cars were not sanitised. It challenges you. It makes demands on your driving ability and concentration that modern cars simply do not. All these Ferraris and Porsches from the past 20 years are so refined and have so many sophisticated electronic aids they make you feel like a great driver and keep you safe. They can't scare you as easily as a Sagaris can. It makes you feel alive. Like you have only just survived every journey when you push it towards the limits. I understand many people would hate this, would hate the car. But this madness is so fantastic I personally love it.

I've even drifted a FWD car with no use of parking brake. (Very very hard to do.) The nice thing is, on RWD cars with no traction control you can: Turn, floor it, drift until sideways, let off a bit, then floor it again when straight. (To go around 90 degree corners faster than those with traction control or better suspension.)

The day they closed the factory was the last time a TVR was ever made, so we never had bland horrible cars carrying the TVR name such as happened to Jaguar.
