talk about a factory upgrade!

The entry level model is powered by a 320 hp 4.6 litre all aluminium quad cam V8 engine which propels the MG XPower SV to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds and on to a top speed of circa 165 mph...

...Customers can also specify the engine from the 225 mph MG ZT-T Bonneville rated at 765 hp (and beyond if required) which will give top speeds of well over 200 mph and suitably electrifying acceleration.
:eek:

The 765bhp is more likely a typo...

Despite all of these disadvantages, MG set a price of 65,000 pounds, more expensive than a 911 Carrera. Moreover, this is only the "base" model. The next step up is a 5.0-litre version capable of delivering 410 horsepower and drive through a 6-speed gearbox. Then, if you are willing to pay an unreasonable 100,000 pounds, MG will offer you a Club Sport version with 465 horsepower and FIA-approved roll-cage, which is the car shown in Birmingham motor show. It is claimed to be capable of 200mph+ and 0-62mph needs 4.1 seconds. Just claim.

Nice but to bad its a Ford Powerplant!

Looking at the front end pic, I see BMW headlight, Pontiac/Dodge crossbred grille, BMW headlight. The back bears a resemblance to the Mercury Cougar. Further down are slightly modified Cobra rims, and a front bumper resembling a toned-down version of something a high-school kid would put on his Honda.

Somehow, these features come together to actually look cool. I'm still trying to figure out how they pulled it off.

Looks like a cross between a Mustang and Audi TT

not a typo... straight from the site... http://www.mgxpowersv.com/

Sounds kinda nice...but really looks a lot like a Mustang to me. I see a compilation of a bunch of other cars, not anything unique. It looks alright, and sounds awesome, but i would prefer something...different.
