BEST SELLING MG TF HAS A BROTHER - MG GT CONCEPT
You would expect the MG TF's brother to be faster, more rugged and undeniably more handsome and so it is - the MG GT concept. The company's design team has taken the hugely popular TF and turned it into a modern day expression of the beloved MGB GT from the trendy 1960s.

That car was treated to some more powerful engines in the shape of the 3-litre straight six (MGC) and 3.5-litre V8 (MGB GT V8) and so the engineers have developed this latest concept around the 2.5-litre KV6 engine. Raising power to 200bhp, performance is predicted to give the GT sub six second zero to 60mph acceleration and a top speed of 145mph. The increase in speed is aided by the reduced drag GT style, cutting the aerodynamic drag coefficient from 0.35 to 0.31.

As engineers and planners consider ideas for the next generation of the UK's top selling sports car they have been researching the 'fixed-head' market. Many of the 'warmer climate' markets prefer sports cars to have an integrated, coupe style and air conditioning to cope with high summer temperatures.

CONCEPT COUPE .

MG-Rover have produced a concept Rover 75 Coupe to celebrate its Centenary. You can bet that if it ever gets into production an MG version will be close behind.
"Beautiful …. The new 75 coupe looks as good as a Bentley Continental", that's what The Sun had to say on Friday 17th November 2004 about the Rover 75 Coupe.
MG-Rover themselves say "Britishness, understated elegance and always an interior that is undeniably 'a better place to be' are Rover virtues that have come together in the Rover 75 Coupe concept car.
The company's design team wanted to mark the first 100 years of the Rover marque with a stylish design that would sit confidently as the latest in the line of renowned Rovers like the P4, the handsome P5 coupe, the innovative P6 2000 model and the bold SD1 hatchback.
