"I cannot think of a more unreliable combination..." The fact that this is recognized and was still done anyway is just one reason why dropping that powerplant was a brilliant idea.
@@CommanderAce77 No disagreements here. What I thought was awesome is that he totally owned up to the fact that he thought the combination was unreliable. I dig that motor and I bet it will be a solid build, but I can also see how the english side could present some.... issues.
It’s a lot like when a certain Texas chicken farmer decided to drop a massive Windsor V-8 into a fragile but agile British sports coupe. When it all went right, legendary performance. When it went wrong, which was not infrequent, death.
@Channy132 "For all the faults of TVR cars". Name them. I've got 2 and I can't think of many. I can think of more with my VW, which is my every day car.
Reading the comments about reliability I have to say that whilst working at dealer for TVR many years ago the most reliable ones were those that were used every day. Cars which were used occasionally or as weekend warriors were the ones we saw the most 🤷
I fully understand where you're coming from. In my opinion all vehicles need to be worked and maintained properly to get the best out of them. This also helps with the life expectancy of vehicles.
More of these private people's dream garage vehicle review and owner interviews please! There are many car lovers in the isles and i'm sure there are plenty of lovely cars to cover!
Wow , I’ve had this engine for nearly four years now ( M5 ) and it’s been wonderful considering all the comments regarding reliability , I’ve looked after it with preventative maintenance and had it serviced regularly on time this is the key to ownership of this magnificent engine along with warming the engine and gearbox to temperature and keeping below 3k revs in the process. 👍🇬🇧😎 Hats off to that guy. 👌 PS; it’s not a daily runner no matter what people say , weekend toy only.
Yep, my dad had one as his daily about 5 years ago (bought on 20k miles). Stuck 40k miles on it, serviced as and when and had no problems at all in the 3 years he had it
@@papa_pt …that’s true , my car is on 91,000 miles the analysis checks are showing little wear and tear which I know is only a guide but it helps , I’ve changed the throttle actuators for upgraded ones ( not plastic cogs ) including circuit boards which wasn’t expensive ( this is a must because they will go wrong) , I have no desire to sell this car it’s to much fun considering I had the M3 E46 previously that’s a bold statement because those cars are fantastic to drive what a car and I do miss driving that machine , I am going to change the rod bearings , vanos pipe and the engine mounts at the same time in the not to distant future for peace of mind , I would love to drive it everyday but it’s not practical regarding the warming up process if your running late for the train etc or in a rush plus the fuel is horrendous , I’m sticking to taking the cover of the beast every couple of weeks.
My dad was actually the designer of this car. He also did the first sketches of the TVR Tuscan He’s currently making a fibreglass electric trike so yeah, hasn’t changed much.
I literally grew up on the street next to Bristol avenue in bispham / blackpool where the tvr factory was. Used to see some amazing cars like the speed 12 being driven around on test drives.
A few weeks back I saw a Sagaris for the first time in real in Vancouver B.C. Pictures and videos don't do the car any justice but to see one in real...Wow!!👍
If you want to do a bonkers project why not do it with a TVR Sagaris? Always love the shape of those cars. It will be interesting to see how it looks when finished.
Never mind the awesome car - why isn’t anyone giving this dude respect for rocking a £10 orange Casio F91W on his wrist when most car car reviewers go for a big blingy watch?
I was expecting a US manual made to work with RHD, but that's a small detail given everything else. This is quite something. It might not exactly be my type of thing, but still very glad it exists. Maybe I just have to see it at full chat and it will sink in. The standard soundtrack being missing might just be the hurdle I couldn't get over this time. :)
A sensible person would never put his hands in such a project. Only a true gearhead would, person who doesn't care about other's opinions and does what he wants to do. What an awesome project. Far more interesting than putting an LS into everything.
I almost forgot how the S85 sounds. Hearing this, it took me back to the beautiful review that Jeremy Clarkson did on the E60 M5. I love that in the review he refers to the headlights looking like Edna Everage's spectacles, LOL..
My car has a much more advanced gearbox- fore and aft movement of the selector combined with lateral movement allows the driver to manually engage the gear that they want. It really is a fantastic high-tech step in driver to car interaction. I have tried to find where the ECU is (it surely must have one) but have failed so far. It hasn't thrown up any fault codes yet, and it seems to work correctly every time. A real breakthrough.
W12 mid mounted Mk4 Gulf. I think it was 2009 or 2010 , the video of a W12 mk 5 Gulf was going around the early days of RUclips and always said I'm going to build one some day, but Mk4
Yesterday morning seen lambo Svj and a e60 m5! And the lambo floored it and the m5 was keeping up when I say keeping up I mean (right up his trumpet 🎺) the hounded there way into the sunrise and it made my day 😂😀
Sitting my garage is one Tuscan S with a 556hp LS7 sitting in the front along with a Tremec 5 speed uprated driveshafts and diff and running Omex Management revs to 7200 and got 416ft at 1600 rpm !
WHOLLY TVR GRAIL. I AM BOTH DEAD AND ALIVE RIGHT NOW. TVR SAGARIS FOR LIFE. THE MOST BEAUTIFUL DRIVERS CAR EVER MADE. EVER. ITS NOT MY DREAM CAR. ITS MY GOAL CAR. From a random dude across the pond. No yelling occurred during this post.
The TVR really deserves the V10. A mad engine in a mad car! And that blue is just drop dead gorgeous! As for me I would put a V10 in a 2016 Dodge Dart or a Dodge Neon, just to see the look on peoples faces when you smoke their 911 off the line in a dodge Dart or Neon with a Viper V10 in it would be worth it.
I am probably of an age or a bit older than this builder and had the same reverence for, specifically, the Sagaris. I always played it in Gran Turismo and Forza. A V10 meetup including the formula Supra would he next level
On the proper drive… You better take this on an epic mountain drive. Because how could you not. It will be THE MOST EPIC TVR SAGARIS review on RUclips if you did. Just think about it. Scratch that. JUST DO IT MAN! TVR SAGARIS + EPIC MOUNTAIN ROAD = LEGENDARY.
i cannot believe that british lads designed this beautiful machine in 2005 or earlier(designing). perfect body lines, futuristic, as a standard an in line 6 engine and the exhaust.. insanely loud.
Probably the best looking car ever. Love the v10, but should have just supercharged the straight six like TVR did. Supercharged version for the street was 585 bhp.
It's cool to hate on it. The V10 is epic. Internet stories and people who have never been in one, let alone owned one, know anything about it in the real world.
Because it's a headache to own that's all, no one's gonna hate anyone for liking it it's usually just fair warning that you'll be dumping money into it. As with any expensive swap or niche swap

No
Sorry but not gonna do any business with censorship happy company like master card ill stick with my visa, choose your sponsors better
Lol , nice video though.
If it's so cool show us using it.
Wonder how it compares to a Viper.
This is the best sounding suicide note I've ever heard.
Probably one of my favourite comments on youtube
Lol funny .
🤣
Agreed. Even better if the music soundtrack was eliminated when the V10 is running: not turned down; muted.
No one is here for the music...
I know right
get this. someone thought that a tvr sagaris wasnt crazy enough on its own
A car that appeared to have been designed by an axe murderer.
Sure, put a ticking time bomb under the bonnet.
Haha ikr 😄
t’was already AN insane car
@@Isaackariuki775 it had a ticking time bomb in it previously lol :)
I was thinking maybe a Viper 8.4 liter V10, but maybe that wouldn’t have fit.
Even funnier thinking some hint of Brit engineering would make it MORE RELIABLE

@@CommanderAce77 Yeah, it’ll be like fitting an AMG engine into a Lotus! Oh wait….
The man is a BMW specialist, I'm sure he took care of all the issues that can grenade the engine before-hand.
For all the faults of TVR cars, you have to say they some of the best looking cars around
Quite true. Very ahead of their time without being too modern “modern”
What faults? Don’t believe everyone who says “bloke I know had a TVR….”
@Channy132
"For all the faults of TVR cars". Name them. I've got 2 and I can't think of many. I can think of more with my VW, which is my every day car.
This is a car only a skilled mechanic should ever own!
Or atleast be in USA to blast it off
and skilled driver
And lives near a race track and is mates with the owner.
Because it's going to break down a lot? Yep.
even change engine oil is miserable
The crank bearings has an aftermarket set that last longer than factory ones.
@Jack Russelle Lewis way
@Jack Russelle Lewis i think the ones from Vac motorsports
I have v10 M5 with original rod bearing that has 150,000 miles.

Yeah but using a TVR every day usually means you're gonna die sooner or later
You didn't see the daily drivers again because they all died.
@@dinoboss1948
Sooner or latter we’re all gonna die.
@@Therapistinthewhitehouse so why not go out doing what you enjoy..the permanent smile would be epic.

Yup

Hard to believe that Sagaris design is over 15 years old now. Talk about a design that aged well.
I may be wrong but that BMW at the start may have its tracking slightly out.
Nah, it's just the camera perspective.
Looks spot on to me
Actually I think it’s camber, but I could be wrong.
I think the owner of the Sagaris has his tracking out!
I wonder how many drive shafts are going to snap like carrots?

@@MrMultiH … what’s your experience with these engines , do you own one or used to own one ?
Yep, my dad had one as his daily about 5 years ago (bought on 20k miles). Stuck 40k miles on it, serviced as and when and had no problems at all in the 3 years he had it
The engine would last longer if you ran it everyday. Like you said, oil changes and warming it up are the most important things for longevity.

Yeah, and the new Griffith too
That looks absolutely awesome. I notice the wing vents are as the prototype.
A person is mad enough to buy a TVR, this lad is more than insane to fit V10 on it.
TVR's cars were just a work of art visually!
Awesome project, I like the way you respectfully drove this special vehicle.
V10 is an incredible machine
This v10 is a eargasm, absolutely beautiful!
Design of car is perfect.
A few weeks back I saw a Sagaris for the first time in real in Vancouver B.C.

If you want to do a bonkers project why not do it with a TVR Sagaris? Always love the shape of those cars. It will be interesting to see how it looks when finished.
Everything should have a V10 in it.
I think that's perfectly reasonable. We need more people like you.
@Pat Fenis how dare youuuuuu
LFA V10 yes!
BMW V10 no!
@@electrikoptik all v10s are built equal
I'd love to put a v10 in my Saab 97x

And the £40 Adidas shoes are nice too. usually other reviewers show off more expensive shoes. Love the humble attitude
Don't forget about his dad lovely green Rover.
I am following this project on Instagram since months, happy to see a professional video about it
Now that's an amazing project car! He even managed to make the S85 V10 work with the DCT gearbox, instead of the horrendous SMG unit.
Some say they wanna do something "crazy". But very few, actually do.
BMW did make a manual for the E60 but only for the US market.
Goat project car. Mad respect please give us more!
I was expecting a US manual made to work with RHD, but that's a small detail given everything else. This is quite something. It might not exactly be my type of thing, but still very glad it exists. Maybe I just have to see it at full chat and it will sink in. The standard soundtrack being missing might just be the hurdle I couldn't get over this time. :)
Since the M5 V10 and M3 V8 engines were essentially the same, the gearboxes from the M3 (manual and DCT) bolt straight up to the V10.
Ahh the Sagaris, my favourite car in TestDriveUnlimited, what a times
The look on your face when it lost DRIVE, great video lol, cheers.
A sensible person would never put his hands in such a project. Only a true gearhead would, person who doesn't care about other's opinions and does what he wants to do. What an awesome project. Far more interesting than putting an LS into everything.
the TVR Sagaris is an underrated gem
Aaah! My two favourite things TVR's and BMW engines
one of the best projects I've ever seen what a legendary idea 🔥
I'm a sucker for tempestuous combinations like this. Love it.
I almost forgot how the S85 sounds. Hearing this, it took me back to the beautiful review that Jeremy Clarkson did on the E60 M5. I love that in the review he refers to the headlights looking like Edna Everage's spectacles, LOL..

So sweet. Respect from New Zealand.
Mega , still one of the best sounding engines ever 🙌 . TVR’s were always beautiful looking cars
Madman, more like a genius. Its like it belongs there
This would look superb with a clear perspex bonnet to match the spoiler.
Long live TVR.. Wish they were properly back, as they were
Yesterday morning seen lambo Svj and a e60 m5! And the lambo floored it and the m5 was keeping up when I say keeping up I mean (right up his trumpet 🎺) the hounded there way into the sunrise and it made my day 😂😀
TVR's look sick af though... Pretty much any model would do.... That colour though! I approve! Well done that man 👏🏻
This care is BEAUTIFUL. UNDOUBTEDLY.
Holy cow!

Now that's a driver!
I bet he gets some serious offers on that thing if he finishes it and gets it running smooth. Weapon

The Sagaris is for me, to this day, one of the most beautiful cars ever made... Simply breathing
Can't wait for the follow up to this vid! It's gonna be epic! 😁
That V10 meet-up definitely needs to happen! 👌
That is absolutely mad genius! I love everything about this crazy thing.
V10s just hit different!
Went to the Goodwood breakfast club today, was meant to be 90s theme but was more like a TVR owners club get together. Have had my fill today thanks!!

Unreliable + Deadly…. Boom!! 💥 This car!!!
The sagaris was just beautiful
Best sounding BMW engine for sure, shame about all the maintenance required for ownership.
The Beemer V10 sounds beautiful at full song.
Saw a tvr v10 in a tvr mechanics in Melton Mowbray. Not sure if it ever was finished.
Probably the best looking car ever. Love the v10, but should have just supercharged the straight six like TVR did. Supercharged version for the street was 585 bhp.
Glad I'm not the only one changing the heart of a TVR.....although mine is going electric 👀⚡😜
I never thought I would need subtitles for English
Cool beans. Wonder if itl be more or less reliable? 🤔
My fav v10 engine swap is the Viperceptor. A Jenson Interceptor with a Dodge Viper engine
The V10 has 3 mayor issues, which when all sorted out make the car bulletproof for 10 years and more. I don't get the hate

BMW V10 into a TVR was a cool combination but Mike's denim with denim was a bit too much for me 😂
He had already chosen death by buying a TVR so you may as well go all out with it. What a machine!
