Modern TVR Sagaris Reboot Getting Chevrolet Power

British sports car manufacturer TVR has an interesting reputation. Its cars have always been raw, unforgiving brutes that ooze character and punish poor inputs, but the biggest issues have always stemmed from reliability problems and it's not uncommon to hear of old TVRs catching fire. That shouldn't be a problem going forward asthe company aims to go electric. Alternatively, you could wait for a新Mustang-powered TVR, but that doesn't quite look as cool asthe brand's older offeringsand its timeline has been delayed substantially. Fortunately, a company called Grex Automotive has been promising a reborn TVR Sagaris for global markets including the USA. Thisfirst hit our radar in 2018, and now the journey is finally gathering momentum.

Grex Automotive says that its car is now available in a coupe version with the GT name and that this car is based on a tubular steel frame with 50% greater rigidity than the original design. Instead of being powered by a 3.6-liter, 4.0-liter, or 4.2-liter straight-six, the reborn model employs a 6.2-liter V8 engine "of the LS and LT family" so it should keep up with your averageChevrolet Camaro. Power output starts at 525 horsepower, but Grex has not said how much can be had. If the Camaro's supercharged motor is on offer, then 650 hp should be attainable.

What we do know is that, like the old car, the new Sagaris GT cares little for amenities like traction control and anti-lock brakes. A Tremec six-speed manual directs power to a limited-slip differential on the rear axle and the suspension is made up of fully adjustable independent double wishbones with adjustable springs and shock absorbers specifically developed for this car.
