High-powered MG roars in

29 October 2003: The MG XPower SV has now gone on sale, powered by a 320 hp 4.6-litre all aluminium quad cam V8 engine which propels the car to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and on to a top speed of circa 165 mph.

Automatic and higher powered SV-R versions will be available next year.

Customers can also specify the engine from the 225 mph MG ZT-T Bonneville rated at 765 hp (and beyond if required) which will give top speeds of well over 200 mph and suitably electrifying acceleration.

The car was designed by a team led by Peter Stevens, whose previous designs have included the McLaren F1. It has a finely tuned chassis designed along race car principles bonded to a lightweight carbon fibre body with an integral rollover cage.
