The return of MG!
Quote from the article:
Auto Express has learned that engineers at MG’s home of Longbridge in the Midlands are working around the clock to deliver the all-new sports car. Although plans are far from clear at the moment, after several aborted attempts to create a new open-topped challenger, including a number of proposals based on the current mid-engined TF, MG’s new Chinese owners are readying a clean-sheet roadster that will feature a conventional front-engine layout. Auto Express has produced these illustrations to bring you the best view yet of how the eagerly awaited model will look – and as you can see, it’ll be a real head turner. At the front, much inspiration has come from its predecessor with a trademark pair of slats around the central octagonal badge, a large lower air intake and faired in headlights. It’s not a traditional long bonneted roadster though – the front and rear overhangs are minmal and together with sleek side panels it boasts a muscular stance. Key details are the rear haunches, emphasising the rear-wheel drive layout, and the sporty central exhaust. Twin chrome roll-over hoops behind the driver and passenger heads are another classy touch, but along with the windscreen edging, they are the only exterior brightwork, as designers will seek to keep the look as pure as possible. |
