Is it just me or does anyone else out there prefer the old 'saggy' arse. It looks to me like the wind tunnel has suggested a bigger perspex wind deflector than the prototype or is that to compensate for the lack of huge air dam at the back.

It was so radical before and I prefered the more hidden side exhausts. It's still the coolest car in the world ever though.

Have to say I did prefer the original look, not sure about the exposure of the full exhaust...liked it before when it was hidden.

But can't truly comment until have seen in the flesh and previous pics have always not showed the car in the best light

Me too, I think.

Just remember, you can get CCC cans painted various colours, so they don't have to be shiny!

Just think how this car will sound with side exiting CCC cans!

Just wondering, if this is a real beast that you can tune up to throw flames out of the exhaust - presumably you'll be able to roast pedestrians/cyclists. Or better still when some numbskull 17year old is sat next to you at the lights revving his engine in his 1.1L Ford Fiesta you can just blip the throttle and set fire to his tires.

I want one.

Great for mopeds that buzz past in traffic. For best effect set light to them with a blast of flame as they pass then put out the flames with a blast from a redirected screen washer sideways to cool them off. Shoule only take a minor modification or two.

Redirected? Mine squirt out sideways anyway...thought it was a design feature...

I like the new one much better myself. The old one looks like its about to fall off.

Like the new back end now

The colour looked fantastic at the show but was told by danielle it would cost £15000 to produce for a customer car. Apparently it was used on a grif some years ago and is called candy apple red?

Was told at the show I will not see my car till approx October!!!
Was origionally told May/June for Leman trip--then August!!!

The vents over the wheels have been filled with a foam insert--won't this get wet and battered from road debris in the rain. Would be better if it was a mesh. Think the car is still going through the design process myself.

The interier looked great with body colour panels on dash and doors. I preffered it to the plain carbon fibre shown on the first grey/silver car.

Just got back from the show and was very pleased with all the new products on display... the Sagaris now looks like the finished product and after speaking to Mr.Wheeler the only changes which will happen are going to be underneath the body... It looks amazing and yes the rear perspex spoiler looks a bit unorthodox, but then again thats what TVR's are all about!

The sagaris has to be the car of the show unlike the tuscan soft top which i thought looked like a boat.As for the back end of the sagaris you need to see it in the flesh, the hole car looks so good i had to buy one. Cant wait :-)

Much prefer the new look How could you not?!

You can see more of the exhaust aswell, and that looks good on that car
