He was playing with me......
Driving to work yesterday on a private dual carraige way a strange dark blue shape suddenly filled my rear view mirror, not knowing what it was i pulled over to let it bye, just to see a vision of beauty power past me.Well i had to chase, just to tell what it was you understand, well i was on his tail up to 120 an we carried on like that for a mile untill he dropped it down to 90 for the next 2 miles....it sounded fantastic.... I'd sussed it was a MG X80sv by now when we came to a 3 mile straight bit........... big noise an it was gone, left me for dead......... if the numbers come up this weekend i want one. Just found out that they do one at 969bhp top end 200mph+

Re: He was playing with me......
The one with 900+bhp comes as standard with nos
Re: He was playing with me......
The base one is around 400bhp IIRC, but you can specify the level of power as an option, just as you would seat colour or alloy wheels

Had a section on it in this month's EVO. Costs £83k standard, 385bhp. They compared to a Corvette and a TVR Tuscan mk2, both of which were nearly half the price and significantly faster.

Re: He was playing with me......
I haven't made up my mind on it yet. On paper, it looks great, but the physical shape of the car looks a bit...odd. There's hints of loads of other cars in the shape, and this could have been MG's chance to come up with something special look-wise.
All IMHO of course.

Mk2 NA Rev1 -*- Mk2 Turbo Rev2 -*- Mk1 NA -*- Mk2 Turbo Rev 3 = all gone!

Re: He was playing with me......
Seeing it in the flesh it had real presence, looked better than the picture an i don't think it was the basic model power wise the way it took off. I'd put it up as one of the fastest things i've ever seen.
450wbhp comming soon

SMG Rover in Slough had one just inside the door last time I was there, looks absolutely crazy close up
Re: He was playing with me......
I've driven behind one in traffic. Didnt sound like it had anything even when the guy floored it. so must have been a base model
