Well,
According to their web site MG/Rover may be "independent"...
BUT>
The X POWER SV looks like the love child from a trist of a Mustang and an
Audi TT.
And right you are Guy, the engines in their development cars are definitely
Fords. Sean Hyland motorsport is a big Canadian Ford tuning firm. The 5L
engine is either a bored 4.6L, OR,
Ford itself has been working on a 5L version of the 4.6 for an upcoming
"NEW" Boss 302, so maybe the are going to source it from there.
In any event, it's a cool car, hope they can build it, but we're never gonna
see it here, bummer...
At least they're still building MG's.
