MGF Super Sports


Geneva Motor Show March 1998

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
