The MG XPower was a sports car produced by the MG Rover company. Launched shortly after the Rover group was sold to a Chinese conglomerate, the MG-X Power SV (Sport Veloce) came as a complete surprise, especially for former parent-company BMW who, if statements are to be taken for granted, had no idea of such a development. The purpose of the car was to revive the brand, and while it was not the most beautiful car, it definitely looked different from the contemporary sports cars launched at the time, plus, its power was impressive.
