Rover has used the Geneva Motor Show to unveil a Supercharged MGF concept car. The styling of EX254, or MGF Super Sports has recieved a mix reaction, but the prospect of a road going Supercharged MG has got everyone excited. Rover have said that no final decision has yet been made about the production of a road going Supercharged MGF. But that said, it is no secrect, that such a car is on the way, (rumours suggest by the year 2000) the supercharged version of the 1.8 litre K series engine produces something like 200bhp
In addition to the supercharged engine, the
MGF-based Super Sports includes uprated
brakes and suspension and reinforced front
and rear subframes. However, the use of
aluminium body panels means the car is
62kg lighter than the current road-going MGF.
The MGF Super Sports has a set of very
nice 8 spoke alloy wheels, and shod with some
wide and ultra low profile tyres
