MG Mgf Cars - MGF Mechanicals
Picture Of MG Mgf CarsBy putting the engine in the middle, Rover have been able to use its tried and tested transverse engine layout, whilst retaining the ability to use rear wheel drive. This also means they are able to use an equally tried and tested gearbox (from Honda), which is the same as is fitted to the Rover 600 and hence offers a gearchange with lots of feel, but it a little imprecise.

Like a true sportscar the MGF has fully independent suspension with double wishbones both at the front and rear. This is damped by the now well tuned Hydragas suspension system (first seen on the Allegro!) instead of more conventional springs and dampers. This is fine tuned through the use of anti-roll bars both front and rear.

The MGF's steering is by rack and pinion, but get the VVC model (or pay for the option) and you get the new speed-sensitive electric power steering system which works in a similar manner to that of the Honda NSX. Brakes are servoed discs all round with the ABS optional on the 1.8i and standard on the VVC.
