==Trivia==
* Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson described its styling as though it were "Designed by a lunatic and then hit with an axe."
* Sagaris is a type of ancient battle axe
* Much like every other TVR the Sagaris has no Anti Lock Brake system, Traction Control, Stability Control, or even air bags. Thus making it illegal to operate on public roads in the United States.
