Page 1 of 1 MG Sport & Racing announced a higher-powered version of its high performance sports car, the MG XPOWER SV-R, at the Geneva Show. The extra performance comes from a 5-0-litre XPOWER version of the all aluminium, 32 valve, double overhead cam V8 engine. Built in conjunction with V8 tuning specialist Sean Hyland the car accelerates from standstill to 60mph in less than 5 seconds. Top speed is circa 175mph/282km/h.
At the same time, the extra engine capacity gives a significant increase in torque from 410Nm to 510Nm at 6000 rpm for awesome mid range performance. To keep the extra power under control, the SV-R is fitted with larger diameter Brembo brake discs. New alloy wheels, a rear wing and unique detailing set this car apart.
Naturally the SV-R retains all the best features of the entry level SV, recently launched in the UK at prices starting at around £70,000. The high tech vehicle features F1 inspired carbon fibre composite body construction, double wishbone race-developed suspension, remote telemetry with security tracking and full harness inertia seat belts.
