TVR Sagaris

The TVR Sagaris is a 6-cylinder sports car made by TVR.
== Description ==
The Sagaris made its debut at the MPH03 Auto Show in 2003. The pre-production model was then shown at the 2004 Birmingham Motorshow. In 2005 the production model was released for public sale at TVR dealerships around the world.
Based on the TVR T350, the Sagaris was designed with endurance racing in mind. Several design features of the production model lend themselves to TVR's intentions to use the car for such racing. 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 final production model came with several variations from the pre-production show models e.g. the vents on the wings are not cut out, different wing mirrors, location of the fuel filler and bonnet hinges. There are other subtle differences as well.
As with all modern TVRs the Sagaris ignores the European Union guideline that all new cars should be fitted with ABS and at least front airbags because Peter Wheeler believed that such devices promote overconfidence and risk the life of a driver in the event of a rollover, which TVRs are engineered to resist. It also eschews electronic driver's aids (such as traction control or electronic stability control).
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 armor of their enemies. The car was designed by Graham Browne and Lee Hodgetts, and this was the last Smolensky ownership-series TVR ever built before the revival of the TVR Griffith under new owners TVR Automotive, headed by Les Edgar and John Chasey.
The TVR Sagaris was made available as a kit car in 2018 by Grex Automotive.

====Performance====
The TVR Sagaris can be described as a continuation of the Shelby Cobra 427 as the Sagaris has a higher final rank and it is also best tuned to higher ranks in Multiplayer due to its higher starting rank.
The Cobra accelerates faster than the Sagaris at the default and MAX + PRO levels. However, a Cobra with a Multiplayer tuning of 0500 5050 (B1234) has a similar acceleration to a Sagaris with a Multiplayer tuning of 0505 5050 (B1480) due to the Sagaris having nitro upgrades, which contribute to acceleration. A MAX + PRO Sagaris has worse acceleration and nitro than a MAX + PRO Cobra, but it makes up for this with a much higher raw top speed and a higher total top speed.
The Cobra and the Sagaris also share an excellent handling stat. Both cars can take light corners with ease, due to their good handling (which starts at 1.300 Gs and becomes 1.323 Gs with a 5050 in Pro Kits).
However, both cars also share an extremely poor drifting radius (the Sagaris' is slightly worse), which makes it very difficult for them to take sharp corners. Techniques such as "micro-drifting" or "drift-punching" can partially compensate for the poor drifting. However even in combination with these techniques it still takes a certain level of skill to maneuver through twisty tracks like Dubai.
The Cobra and Sagaris also share the nitro efficiency of 7/12/17. Both cars rely on Extra Tanks to perform optimally in Multiplayer.
Another stat shared by the Cobra and Sagaris is the upgrade/rank percentages. Both cars have 30% of their ranks achieved from upgrades allocated to top speed and another 30% allocated to nitro. The other 40% is split evenly between acceleration and handling upgrades, making the total ratio 20/30/20/30. This allows the two cars to be Multiplayer tuned with very high speeds at low ranks.
====Official review====
This is the official review of the TVR Sagaris on the Asphalt YouTube channel, made by TheHawtDawg1 and published on November 24, 2016:
Time to reach end of Tokyo straight: 7.689s
Perfect nitro duration: 8.910s
Triple nitro duration: N/A
Venice lap time: 1.13.326s
Final verdict: "The TVR Sagaris is a sporty car that is really good for Multiplayer. It is not the B Class king but it is not far from the current B Class king (AMG GT3)."
====Usage (Multiplayer)====
During its release, the TVR Sagaris was a popular option between the rank of 1390-1563. With the inclusion of the Audi R8 e-tron Special Edition, the TVR Sagaris is no longer viable for Multiplayer use.
