MG ZT XPOWER UPDATE
Since it was reveiled at Frankfurt
last year, we’ve been putting the MG ZT XPower through a series of
uncompromising and rigorour tests.
It’s been submitted to the mind-numbing cold of Scandinavian winter and the
blistering heat of an Australian summer. Then came the ultimate challenge for
its supercharged 4.6litre, V8 which can produce 385Ps – Nuburgring, Europe’s
fastest racetrack.
Its 143 tortuous turns and demanding high-speed straights made it the perfect
environment to evaluate the performance and handling credentials of the MG ZT
XPower.
Here it bulleted to 0-60 in less than 5 seconds; topped 100mph in under 10 and
scorched to an awesome top speed of 175mph. And the "Ring" also represented the
toughest trial yet for the car’s front-engined, rear-wheel drive configuration
and it’s taught chassis, which together guarantee authentic, high performance
sports car handling.
The MG ZT XPower passed all its tests with flying colours. But MG’s gifted
engineer Rod Oldaker (voted "Engineer of the Year 2002" by Autocar) is a hard
man to satisfy. Now he and MG design director, peter Stevens, along with their
exceptional team, are taking the MG ZT XPower to the USA for further
environmental tests and styling refinements.
It won’t be long now before you can experience the sheer power of its advanaced
technology on the road that was previously confined to the racetrack. The MG ZT
XPower is due to be launched in Autumn 2002.
PUBLICITY FLYER
FROM MG
Dear Mr Flint
Thankyou for your interest in the MG ZT XPower, a car that we believe is set to
take the sports saloon sector by storm.
Since it was reveiled at Frankfurt last year, we’ve been putting the MG ZT
XPower through a series of uncompromising and rigorour tests.
It’s been submitted to the mind-numbing cold of Scandinavian winter and the
blistering heat of an Australian summer. Then came the ultimate challenge for
its supercharged 4.6litre, V8 which can produce 385Ps – Nuburgring, Europe’s
fastest racetrack.

XPower.

We’ll be writing to you again with progress reports on the MG ZT XPower in the
near future.
