What is the MG Mgf Cars ?
The MG Mgf Cars was unveiled at this years Geneva Motor Show, and is the first all-new MG since the MGB way back in 1962. Unlike the recent MG RV8, which was little more than a facelifted MGB, the MGF is a thoroughly modern sportster bristling with the latest in auto technology.
The MG Mgf Cars is a small two-seater sports car which was styled by Rover's in-house design team, and boasts a mid-engined rear-drive layout. It is a 100% British design, Honda took no real part in it, and BMW arrived too late to have any major influence upon it.
The MG Mgf Cars is similar in size to what will be its main rival, the Mazda MX-5, and it has a very appealing and attractive shape. Rover have described it as a "candid camera car - nobody is sure where the engine is", this is because the bonnet appears long and high compared to other mid-engined cars, yet remains too short for a front-engined car.
The mid-engined layout is a first for Rover in a production car, and the unique VVC (Variable Valve Control) engine is a first for anyone. It also has the now finely honed Hydragas suspension and new speed-sensitive electric power steering.
