MG Mgf Cars - MGF Mechanicals Part 1
MG Mgf Cars - MGF Mechanicals
Picture Of MG Mgf CarsHidden somewhere in the middle of the MGF is an engine. It is brand new, totally British, and also happens to be very good too since it is based on the very successful K-series engine.
For the MGF, the K-series engine has been bored and stroked out to 1,796cc. This required Rover to come up with the "damp" liner, ultra-lightweight pistons, and a plastic inlet manifold. All this results in 118bhp at 5,500rpm and 121 lb/ft at 3,000rpm. Rover claim that this results in a top speed of 120mph, and a 0-60 time of 8.5 seconds.

By the end of the year, there will be a more powerful version with VVC - Variable Valve Control. Unlike Honda's V-TEC engine, VVC offers an infinitely variable cam period between two limits, though the amount of lift remains constant. The VVC equipped K-series has 25% more power (143bhp @ 7,000rpm) and 5% more torque (128lb/ft @ 4,500rpm). Fuel consumption should remain the same, but the VVC is 10mph faster with a max of 130mph and should reach 60 in seven seconds.
