A SUPER rare Fast and Furious inspired MG is on sale for an eye-watering sum. Dubbed "slightly mad", the MG XPower SV-R model is one of only 42 made and could be yours for $79,000. Celebrating its 20th birthday, the unique 175mph car is officially on the market.
The XPower SV-R can do 0-60mph in just five seconds, and has a 4.6 litre V8 325 bhp engine. The model is regarded as the rarest MG ever made and it only has 10,500 miles on the clock.
It is being sold by classic car dealer DM Historics, as reported on Luxury Auto News. A DM Historics spokesperson said: "The SV-R, which celebrates its 20th birthday this year, is a piece of British automotive history: the rarest and most potent MG of all. "It's a car with a fascinating backstory, styled by the designer of the McLaren F1, Peter Stevens and inspired by the Fast and Furious films.
"The SV-R represents a time of plucky optimism in the UK's motoring industry. “It took the fight to the supercar establishment in the early 2000s - the likes of Ferrari, Porsche and Maserati - combining V8 power with a cutting edge, lightweight, carbon-aluminium construction. "Now a cult performance hero, and one of just 42 cars made, it's got all the makings of a true British classic.
" Jack Twinam, Sales Manager, DM Historics, said: "We’re delighted to offer this fine example of the cult-classic MG XPower SV-R for sale. "While it never sold in the numbers MG Rover might have hoped for, twenty years on from its launch, the XPower SV-R stands .
