You guys are a bit behind the times... that thing was the MG X-Power SV, where Rover took the beautiful Qvale Mangusta and turned it into a 17 year olds idea of a supercar and then built it badly and cheaply. This wasted money they should have spent on a new 25 replacement. They also invested in sensible things like racing at Le Mans. The inquiry's conclusion is obvious- stupid management killed Britains only mainstream maker and the SV is the best example of this.

joelynn you're absolutely right! The SV turned out to be a good idea executed badly. The proportions didn't match, engine was not powerful enough and lacked the punch of competitors and above all cost to produce and market price were simply too high. This was like an antithesis of Nissan GT-R (911 turbo performance for Cayman money vice versa) :)
