2008 TVR Sagaris GT

Tailored for GT racing, the TVR Sagaris GT was born and developed as a follow-on from the Tuscan Challenge race car, utilising the same-style round tubular-steel chassis, but now fitted with the lightweight Sagaris bodyshell. This example is likely the most highly-developed racing Sagaris in existence and has a phenomenal amount of wins under its belt, having been meticulously built from the ground up by an ex-Tuscan Challenge team to deliver unparalleled performance on track.

This is the final example built by GTF, chassis #4 of four, and is a truly remarkable machine with plenty of stories to tell. Designed as an endurance-spec 24-hour car for Tim Hood, it comes equipped with all the necessary features for long-distance racing as, not only did it have to be fast, but it had to last. Having conquered the Silverstone 24-hour race twice, and clinching victory in every TVR Challenge race it attended, this car boasts an impressive racing pedigree.

Under its sleek bonnet rests a front-mid-mounted GM LS7 V8 engine on just four hours, punching out nearly 600bhp and generating a formidable 550lb/ft of torque. With the whole car weighing in at just 1100kg, the power to weight ratio is a staggering 527bhp/ton, meaning 0-60 is dispatched in just 3.0 seconds, 0-100mph takes just 6.5 seconds and the top speed is over 200mph when geared to do so. The car is further enhanced with a full JE dry sump system, all controlled and customisable by a Motec multimap ECU with traction control, launch control, auto-blip downshift, and paddle-shift, this car is undeniably well-engineered.

The drivetrain features a Quaife 69G 6-speed sequential gearbox with a pneumatic paddle-shift system and a BTR limited-slip differential with adjustable gear ratios. Built upon the sturdy TVR racing chassis, the car now features custom-designed billet aluminium uprights at the front, independent double-wishbone suspension with three-way adjustable Ohlins both front and rear. Braking is courtesy of AP Racing 6-piston front brakes and 4-piston rears ensuring full confidence in slowing the car down when needed.

Efficiency meets elegance with the lightweight fibreglass bodyshell, fitted with gull-wing doors and 18" slick-shod aluminium alloy centre-locking wheels. Endurance racing is made possible by the inclusion of a 120-litre ATL Bag Tank, a pit radio and air jacks. Completing this masterpiece is a full aerodynamic package, featuring a profiled front splitter, flat floor, rear diffuser, and adjustable rear wing providing optimal downforce. Spares included in the sale are: eight wheels, a spare bonnet and a N/S door.

This is a rare chance to acquire a highly competitive and unique race car, primed for GT Cup, Britcar, AMOC, and CSCC Slicks. Meticulously developed over the years and with the fastest lap of any TVR around Oulton Park, this car guarantees a reliable and exceptional performance on the track and is both forgiving and easy to drive, making it suitable for drivers of all levels.
