Here's some info on the Sagaris, in case some of you have only known TVR in the news.

The car is powered by TVR's own Speed Six engine, which is what BMW should have put in the new M3. It's a 4.0L, 400hp/350ft lbs, 8000rpm all-aluminum DOHC inline-6, with individual throttle bodies and dry sump. In the handling department: Noble tuned double-wishone suspension all around, LSD, and a cage that's integrated into the chassis. In its current form, with a 5-speed 'box, it weighs in at 2400lbs, does 0-60mph in 3.7s and tops at 160mph.
