  • well, I suppose it's great to drive around disused airstripe then. Not sure I'd like it going from Munich to Hamburg for 8 hours at full speed.... which is a more realistic scenario. But then TVRs are no more...

  • @thdmtr yeah I was thinking the same... Its kind of a shame that they couldnt have shoehorned in that 4.5 litre flat plane crank AJPV8 from the Cerbera... Don't you agree?

  • not a huge fan of the styling, but those side ways exhausts are sweet.

  • Lol, no ABS, no Traction, no airbags. Now, that's my kind of car.

  • @losangelesrep You said it! Cars which can potentially really hurt you are great! Have you seen the episode where he tests the track version of the Pagani Zonda - which isn't allowed anywhere? The engine is so loud, he has to wear a headset in order for us to hear him. It would propably give you permanent loss of hearing over time - awesome!!

  • bloody NA straight six

  • THumbs up if main racing game Gran Turismo had brought you here

  • HAHAHAHAHAA!!! The Konessgegsgegagesgegsgssgggsgs­gsgsss!

    

  • TVR is so fcking nice , and the typhoon is the king of all , near the cerebra speed , When he said Sagaris it sounded Like Sackriss :D

  • Thumbs up if forza Motorsport 4 brought you here

  • Sagaris <3 sexiest TVR ever

  • 1:26 what does he mean?

  • @MrJRG97 Speedometer reads as 20 at max, top speed is north of 180mph, so they left a zero off of the speedometer.

  • naa ich hab was unanständiges entdeckt

  • he's turned so cynical - years ago he used to be all over tvr's

  • my mazda is like a tvr, no Abs, no traction control, and very lound and plastic!

  • cool car i guess but i hate the styling to the exterior.

  • 1) That sound

    2) Those exhaust pipes

    3) That sound

    4) I want one

  • I want a Sagaris!!!

  • they should sell these in america

  • @TheItalianPerson you can get them imported, its expensive though. You have to hire an aftermarket company to outfit it with bumpers, airbags, ABS etc.

    Adds about $20K to the price but it's not impossible. There's a couple Tuscans for sale right now in DuPont.

  • wow!

    Why you people didn't buy  it?

  • I must have one!

  • Best Line? I'm having a criiiiiiiisiiiiiiiiisss!!!

  • RIP TVR. lol

  • the engine on the 2005-2006 TVR Sagaris

    Engine

    4.0 L (3996 cc) Straight-6

  • If your battery runs out, you're screwed.

  • really good!!!

  • jeremy and stig are 2 lucky bastards

    i mean really look at that tvr it's a very awesome car and they get to drive it!!

    lol i still like top gear it's cool

  • I love this car!!

  • Well your only going to go 20mph so way have airbags or anti lock-brakes god has to be the safest car on the road!

  • ...simply dont crash than :D:D

  • It's a cool car but in U.S. dollars it's over $78,000.00....

    Not worth it for a glorified kit car.

    

  • well dont crash than lol

  • Import to the US, please!!!!

  • god i love this car.... have your ferraris, porsches, lambos whatever.....you rock up in this and it's the only car they will be looking at.

  • looks wise this is one of my favorite cars.

  • In my opinion the best looking car ever made. Thats why I want one.

  • I want one of these (in the US) so I can stick out

  • I'm watching this for the millionth time, and I just noticed that car has a spoiler. A transparent spoiler. Sagaris officially beat the Zonda in the "WTF is that but I want one" category.

  • looks like the hawker from burnout paradise!

  • Comment removed

  • Ugly. Powerful. Simple. Loud. Cheap. Uncopromising. Beautiful.

  • 198mph is not that powerful......

    But the price is nice :)

  • @NikKast1981 what the fuck? where are you driving that 198 is too slow? and the top speed of the sagaris is 'only' 185, way tooooo slow. altho it weighs 2300 lbs can run 0-60 in 3.7 and probably pull like 1.1 g

  • @stormthorgerson 185m/h translates to 297km/h.....Most 250HP+ cars can easily do over 250km/h (without the RPM limiter which cars like the Sagaris don't have).....So why is it fast exactly ? Of course for its price tag it's a very good car (if we are to ignore the lack of technology like anti-lock brakes , airbags etc etc) but nothing to get excited over.

  • @NikKast1981 The Sagaris only has 400hp. To put that into perspective the 911 C4 GTS has similar power and oh look a similar top speed. It's about right for it's power. You do realise that to go faster the relation of power to speed increases in a big way. Why the Veyron needed a 1000hp to push up to 250mph. The lack of technology is also a good thing, means you get more feel and less weight.

  • @yonumpty

    The 911 4 GTS weighs 1480kg and has a top speed of 187mph @ 408BHP

    The Sagaris weighs 1078kg and has a top speed of 185mph @ 380BHP

    So tell me again the similarities of those two cars ? The porsche weighs 400kg more and yet according to official specs it's faster...400kg is 38% more than the weight of the Sagaris.....No these cars are nothing alike and with 400kg less i would expect the Sagaris to be quite faster than the Porsche....

  • @NikKast1981 Biggest mistake you made there, thinking weight has a big impact on top speed. It has very little to do with top speed. Top speed is down to power, aerodynamics and gearing mainly. Which is why the Porsche and the Sagaris have similar top speeds. However weight has a big impact on acceleration. Which is why the Sagaris will get to 60mph a second faster than the Porsche even though it is a faster car.

  • @yonumpty Big or small we are talking about a 38% difference in weight so i don't really think anyone would say that such a difference makes a small impact on the top speed of a car....It's not 50kg heavier, 100kg heavier, 200kg heavier, it's 400kg heavier which easily translates in 5 medium sized people....And you still really think that makes a small impact in top speed ?

  • @NikKast1981 You need to ignore the weight difference, that as I said effects acceleration mainly. Topspeed is power, aerodynamics and gearing. You need to look at fluid dynamics and how it affects an object travelling through the air, frontal area and drag are the main factors there. Or even look at cars that are heavier versus very light as long as they have similar power the top speed will be similar. Weight alters handling and acceleration in a big way, not top speed.

  • @yonumpty I know weight affects acceleration and handling mostly but to say that it affects top speed almost not at all when we are talking about 38% more is silly don't you think ? Besides we are not talking about an already heavy car which if lets say 1500KG 400KG more would be like 20% more so perhaps it wouldn't make a huge difference but 1078 vs 1480 is 402KG more so there's simply no way even by just using physics calculations that it would not affect the top speed of a car.

  • @NikKast1981 No not silly at all, as I said weight does affect it. Just not very much. I mean you can look at pretty much any car. No matter the weight as long as they have similar power they will top out around the same. Got to think about aerodynamics. Some of these sports cars create huge downforce. Talking in excess of 600kg of downforce. Aerodynamics and power are more important after 150mph.

  • @yonumpty Downforce applies to both cars....In any case if the Porsche which you mentioned was 402KG less i believe that it would easily pass the 200mph mark.....Easy...

  • @NikKast1981 And I am telling you it would need over 500hp to do 200mph. Without a single doubt in my mind. For a start Porsche have lighter versions. Which also have more power. They still can't hit 200mph either. You typically need a good 550-600hp to hit 200mph. Look at any car that is capable of 200mph. I bet they all have very similar output around 550-600hp and the weights can vary a lot. Porsche Carrera GT for instance 1380kg, 605hp. Its top speed was 205MPH. It is all about power.

  • @yonumpty Not it's not. BMW M5 has 507 and can top 200. Jaguar XFR can reach 220+ with 510. It's not just power, it can be gearing too, or forced induction can help.

  • @yonumpty True but HP is not everything, there are engines with 550HP that are worse than engines with 500HP or less. As for the GT it's a great car but Porsche focused on handling and acceleration rather than top speed. Gear ratios mean a lot as well for top speed. The variables are many, still i consider the Sagaris as a good car but not even close to being a Porsche 4 GTS.

  • DO WANT

  • Best car ever made, I cant wait for transport canada to allow the newer TVR's over here. I dont care that they have reliability issues, they are perfect in every way.

  • British cars are the epitomy of the motoring industry... there is none equal.

    TVR, Ariel, Farbio, Mclaren, Rolls/Bentley, LR/RR, Jag, Caterham, Aston, Bowler.. etc.

  • the 2005-2006 TVR Sagaris was assembled in

    Blackpool, England

  • Top gear rocks, seen every episode, but the best are the ones that feature TVR's.

    it really is unfortunate that we cant have them in Canada.

  • death trap car.

  • @JERSEYDEVIL9

    If you're going to go down you might as well have a bit of fun doing so.

  • its like a yuropan viper. lols

  • WHY CANT I HAS ONE IN AMARICA

  • @ironicprinkles ME TOOOOOOA

  • 4:48 Clarkson playing Gran Turismo 5 ?

  • I love TVRs, specially the Cerbera Speed, it's one of the greatest cars ever.

  • i can imagine a customer complaning how dead he was.

    -From 1 to 10, how dead are you?

    -I would say 6.

    -okay. so here is your refund. *hands 50 bucks*Thank you for contacting customer support, we hope we have helped you! Come back again! *ding*

  • @notothaate No, that was Hoedown by ELP

  • i want one

    

  • Top Gear should review the Griffith 500 as well!

  • My Sagaris has 20,115 HP!! Just search for FAR Sagaris!!

  • Was that nyan cat that the drug was listening to?

  • "OH YES! , OH YES!"

  • oooh dear, thats terrible and then put it on sale anyway lol

  • tvr top speed 20??

  • @TheMrbean97

    X 10........

  • Cool

  • dis is my fav car but gosh no airbags lol not cool

  • 3:37 - wwwEElllll...lol love JC!

  • awsome startup

  • that startup is seriously awsome

  • Who would think thats an ugly car? I think that car looks amazing! I would by one. And for less than 50,000? Man i wish i has the money... and was a year older :(

  • acording to the spedometer the top speed is 20 lmao XD

  • watch?v=k0Syl9vwzas

    TVR from my friend.

    It Sounds like a angry DEMON, bot lissten by your self :D

    no fake :D

  • there is no airbag either, tvr's argument has always been, don't crash then...

    now there is an argument!!!

  • BUT... can it blend?

  • that car looks like a snake

  • the front reminds me of a CLS.

  • thats one smooth start 

  • Comment removed

  • it is one

  • it looks like a euro version of the dodge viper lol.....

  • @NemesisSypheroth with less that half the engine and and 4/5 of the power

  • Who cares if the exhausts are sideways. cool engine sound and unique styling. Thats what sets them apart. And its a tick faster than a MR FQ400? Sign me up for one!

  • the engine is trying to escape, its melting the road!!!

  • I would be too fucking afraid of putting this in my garage

  • @liud128 Clarkson just said that this is the only TVR with which you don't have to be afraid ; ) So come on, put it in your garage. Help keeping this awesome car company in business :)

  • @Epik76 no, just running into it in the dark... HOLY SHIT HEART ATTACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • For some weird reason, this is my dream car, the styling is cooool

  • Phenomenal looking car

  • "Don't Crash then" hahaha

  • Beautiful

    

  • He has orgasm driving the TVR Sagaris... uashuahsuahsuahs... TVR is a best of the all cars!!!!... love this car, dam !

  • @electrofibars I'm not a fan of TVR but that car is looks awesome :D

  • Mr. Bean's girlfriend at 6:55

  • Thats one insane way to have the exhaust firing out of a car !! Luvvv it ;)

  • police: why were you speeding?!

    driver: no i wasnt i was only doing 18 miles per hour!

    police: ......

  • I like this car. I would have it before any Porsche or Jaguar or even Mercedes ,partly because it is so brutal without those electronic gadgets and partly because it looks so great ,especially with crazy array of colours that you can get it painted.

  • I love the styling.

  • TVR usually checks the handling, when a customer writes to the company, complaining about how dead he is :D :D :D

  • HAS ANY ONE NOTICED THAT THE ROOF IS TALLER AT THE DRIVERS SIDE?!?

  • @donyboy12345 It's a roof 'bubble' so you drive it on the track while wearing a helmet

  • luv this car. I would cut those openings back out of the louvers and double mesh them for safety.

  • The front end is sick looking, like how the hood curls up onto the middle of the windshield... beautiful. The rear end however is atrocious, that stupid wing and sideways exhaust is terrible looking imo.

    Overall, I still love the car, it's weird, cool, and fast as hell. Besides, nothing sounds like a TVR.

  • "oh dear... thats terrible ... and then put it on sale... " jajaja and then find out how it handles

  • "oh dear... thats terrible ... and then put it on sale... " jajaja

  • Ben Collins (The Stig) rated this in the top 5 WORST cars he had ever driven.

  • ha, this car is rated as the worst ever hes ever driven - by ben collins AKA "the Stig"

    "The Sagaris told porkies to your instincts. In bends, the weight of the engine over the front wheels made it pitch insanely and I spun off countless times with no idea why. If this was the result with a so-called pro at the wheel, I pitied the man who polished it all week before going for a Sunday drive. Worse still, Jeremy Clarkson loved it. I rest my case."

  • who needs a Porsche when u got this?

  • Clarkson has the exact same sense of humor as I do, and i never get tired of hearing his sarcasm, and smart remarks. I watch this show every time it's on, and Laugh my head off for the full hour. THANK YOU TOP GEAR! You have successfully created the funniest, most interesting car show on TV!

  • @wrestlebetter09 Clarkson helped turned me from a nervous presenter to a funny, exciting, and engaging mofo in my business school. I cannot recount once where I was not able to get people to laugh since I learned Clarkson's presenting style. bravo!

  • @wrestlebetter09 my second name is Sagar

  • Clarkson: its like firing up the Starship Enteprise

    LOL XD ok Jeremy enough star trek related insults if i were u i would stick to top gear XD heheheheheheh XD

  • It is a beautiful car, but mechanically it is of low quality. The Speed 6 engine will most likey break down within 50000 miles, and I'm talking about a major failure. As much as I like the fact that they made their own individual TVR inline 6 engine in theory, you just can't deny the fact, that they should have used mechanical parts from other companies (engine, transmission etc) like Ford, Toyota etc (like Lotus).Because while this car is a beauty, it will cost you an arm and a leg to maintain

  • @Wangan01 "The Speed 6 engine will most likey break down within 50000 miles"

    Not if you treat it correctly. Warm it up well before you rev it past 3000rpm and it will be fine (older ones with Indian made components are much more sensitive to this), service it no later than you should and you can get well over 100k with ease. Plenty of my friends are well past this with no trouble at all.

  • What A Car!!

  • i adore this car, i'd buy one if had 50k to spend on a car!

  • what a crazy car! totally awesome!

  • How do they make the engine start like that and not rev when it starts?

  • I want to know why he talks crap about american cars. When he.

  • @eddie1234mullett 1. Our cars are made of cheap plastic.

    2. Our cars are designed to travel in a straight line, rather than handling well. (which is important)

  • DO WANT

  • wow the whole thing vibrates the hood rattles theirs no air bags or abs or tcs if that was an american car everyone would be all over it saying its rubbish improper car and full of plastic

  • Now I do want to see that race. A Corvette ZR1 versus a TVR Sagaris. Now before everyone goes shouting which car they feel will win remember that the 2011 Porsche nine eleven Turbo beat the ZR1 in a whole bunch of tests. even in 0 to 60.

  • please someone save me, what song it is @ 4:10 thks

  • You buy a TVR Sagaris because you think Porsche 911's are softcore. No ABS? No traction control? Better bring your 'A' game when you get in that car! Sign me up!

    And the US won't allow TVR's here because the gov't is scared.

  • what is the name of the song @ 1:29 please tell me

  • try to search for zenvo-st1 its made by my contry denmark and its much bedder than any TVR

  • @dennisjonkristensen does it cost less the 50000 pounds? i dont think so

  • @mishgun420 ok but do you wanna a russian car nobody can get in and out of. so mercedes sls amg i dont care . its just what i thinking

  • @dennisjonkristensen im a simple men, i like VWs and toyotas. fuck russian cars they look like soap box'

  • does it come with a pussy magnet?

  • @5959512

    It IS a pussy magnet. Any TVR is - and I know!

    The Sagaris is just sensational. No other car at the price could touch it, so long as it's well warmed up before you hammer it.

  • @5959512 it IS a pussy magnet!

  • ''ITS MELTING THE ROAD :O''

  • Blastofo agreed!

  • i wish they would just broadcast the UK show in the US instead of making their own version, with its annoying hosts.

  • Again, completely wrong song in this video. It should be from Aphex Twin "Come to Daddy"

  • The only thing I dont like about this car is the rear.

  • Fuck me sideways...

  • TVR's argument has always been "well don't crash then?" lmao!!

  • All I have to say is I WANT ONE! Could anyone recommend how someone in Ontario, Canada would go about maybe importing this car, or better yet finding a dealer?

  • @FlameSnipe you will probably have to import one from England. That will cost alot of money, your best bet will be to find out how much it costs to transport it. Then find one for sale buy it and contact a buisness that will collect it and transport it to what ever airport or port you want.

  • everyone moans about TVR's unreliability ther must be something...go and look at their website it dont work nither...

  • Tvrs are made by kids for kids and that's the whole point of them. Forget security and practicality, just style and speed and them only. Epic.

  • Tvrs look fast and look good, but their quality worries me....the gauges looked a lil cheap, ergonomics seems quite off. Also, no modern electronic aids/safety features included, tranction ctrl, dynamic stab, etc.

  • If I wanted a lightweight british car, I wouldn't want it to be intuitive and practical, I'd want it to be cartoonishly complicated so that only I would know how to operate it.

  • I imagine TVR isn't sold in USA because they don't meet the ridiculous US DOT safety reg's...

  • hey can someone tell what is the soundtracks name which starts at 2:53 please if anyone can tell really addicting soundtrack

  • This car is a piece of crap

  • @blaknite1 Better than any Corvette or Viper

  • @blaknite1

    You're just jealous cos you can't afford one or you can't drive well enough to handle one. There were dozens at Goodwood last week and all the owners absolutely LOVE them.

  • it's like a foreign version of the dodge viper lol

  • @soccerpeve you cant compare a cheetah(tvr) to a bear(viper)

  • Shame they've gone bankrupt. What a crazy car! I'd have one, and I love those exhausts

  • Fast. but an eye sore to say the least.

  • do they make these in left wheel drive!?

  • @puffrooster So left wheel drive means it can only go in clockwise circles? :)

  • @energymc22 - LOL... I was hoping (they) would put the steering wheel and pedals on the left side so I can drive it in Canada on the proper lane. I rented a car when I was in Australia and survived, but it just doesn't feel right....

  • @puffrooster I know what you mean - its "left hand drive" :)

  • @energymc22 - Ohhh, okay... I get it now; left wheel drive! Ya, I miss sarcasm often but I get it now, ha ha ha, clockwise, ya funny ;-)
