Is Sagaris same width as T350C?
Discussion
I don’t have the T350 specs, but I expect somebody on here does.
The current specs for the Sagaris are:
Width over mirrors: 1850mm
Width over doors: 1770mm
Front track with 18” wheels: 1510mm
Rear track with 18” wheels: 1520mm
Obviously these measurements may change by the time they actually release it.

Thanks. Are the ends of the mirrors the widest extremes, or the flared rear arches?
That’s a good question. I don’t know, but from looking at photographs I’d say that the ends of the mirrors are the widest point.
It’s not the width that worries me, it’s the 7.5 degree approach angle at the front!
(A Tuscan is 11 degrees and a Tamora is 9.4 degrees). Although I’m told by my dealer that TVR have tested it and it will get over speed bumps. TSS said:

Amen to that! Apparently speedbumps aren't supposed to be higher than 10cm but that's a laugh round here. I honestly believe that some roads will be impassable, and in fact with the new rear-end redesign it looks even more of a problem at the rear than the front.
Regarding the width, just want to be sure it'll fit in the garage! From the pictures in Autocar from a fortnight ago it looks like the mirrors aren't as prominent as the rear arches but like you say it's hard to tell, taking perspective into account.
I presume the ride height on the sagaris will be the same as the T350, 100mm. I have only experienced one problem with the cushion type speedbumps and that was of my own making.
You must drive centrally over these camels, as one wheel on its back and one on the road may get you a scrape.

I struggle a bit with speed humps with the front splitter on my Tuscan (broken one already), and also the rear exhaust boxes just behind the wheels can touch as well.
It's not a huge problem on the Tuscan as if you break the splitter, it's just a couple of hundred quid for a new one, however on the Sagaris it's all part of the nose!

The approach angle for the rear is supposed to be 11.3 degrees which shouldn’t cause too many problems.
On the specs I have from TVR, the ground clearance is only 85mm. I measured the red prototype myself when it was at my dealer. With 2 people in the car the ground clearance of the rear diffuser behind the diff was only 70mm! Admittedly that was the prototype and the suspension did seem a bit soft.
I have heard that the production cars will be raised a bit, but I haven’t been able to get that properly confirmed.

Oh excellent I've been looking everywhere for those! Do you happen to know the wheelbase as well? That would be awesome.
Cheers.
According to the data my dealer got from TVR:
Wheelbase: 2361mm
Total length: 4057mm
Front overhang: 800mm
Rear overhang: 896mm
