It's one thing
having the power and the looks, but what matters most on the
track or driving down the road is how the car feels, how it
handles, how it goes round the bends.
Fortunately, the SV has been developed by the very best in the
business. MG has an exceptional reputation for creating superbly
handling vehicles and the SV pushes their reputation yet
further.
“It is the most
fun to drive. With the front engine, rear wheel drive
combination, you know when you are reaching the limit and the
car does not suddenly surprise you.”
Chief Engineer, Giordano Casarini
Double wishbones mate with coil springs over shock absorbers,
with everything finely tuned to perfection. In tyre tests during
the SV's development at the Nurburgring Nordscheilfe, the
development team were pleased to note that, unlike the SV's
rivals, there was minimal wear to the Michelin Pilot Sports - a
testament to the balance of the chassis, something vital for
optimum drivability.
