X-Power
to the Extreme. A glimpse at whats to come? The radically styled MG-F
X Power 500 is powered by a race-bred 500PS engine.
It
has a 6 speed sequential transmission in what is a much modified MG-F
monocoque structure.
Power
is courtesy of the MG Le Mans XP developement engine, mounted transversely
behind the cockpit and driving the rear wheels via an X-Trac competition
gearbox.
The
body is seam welded throughout and has a fully intergrated cage. The
track becomes 100mm wider at the front & 150mm wider at the rear.
Tyres are 225/35 R17 up front and 265/35/R17 at the rear, all on MG
multispoke Alloys.
The
wheel arches are flared and connected by a sill mounted skirt. The front
end is completely revised. At the rear, High mounted wing-type spoiler
balances the high downforce front end to ensure the car stays 'glued'
to the tarmac at speed.
Engine
cooling is optimised by an increased radiator capacity, fed by a much
larger aperture in the front bumper and exiting through vents in the
bonnet. Side air intakes are also larger to force more air into the
engine bay.
The
MG-F X-Power 500 is not for sale! .... sorry.
