Sagaris was the Greek name for a weapon used by Scythian tribes (Hdt. 1.215, 4.5), by the Persians, Mossynoeci, and others, and according to Aristarchus (PAmh.2.12 ii 10) by the Amazons. The weapon was probably a kind of battle-axe, described as single-edged by some authors, and as double-edged by others. Possibly from this arose an attribution of the invention of the battle-axe to the Amazons by medieval and Renaissance authors (e.g. Johannes Aventinus), and a (modern) association of the Amazons with the Labrys.
There's no doubt the Sagaris is dramatic, and with its asymmetrical styling (the roof over the driver's side of the cockpit is raised to make room for a crash helmet) it's a truly unique piece of design.
We didn't put the Sagaris through a full test, but the claimed 0-100mph time of 8.1 seconds would only be achievable with some expert driving and a lot of practice.
While the Sagaris is the second "new" TVR to be launched by the Russian management, it harks back to the firm's past.
