Do you remember MG's supercar from 2004, called the MG SV? Well Mike Fernie has managed to get his hands on one, and looks to dispel the myth that was once uttered on Top Gear via Jeremy Clarkson. Did this brute of a car actually come with a 1000bhp Nitrous Oxide kit? Let's find out...

Such a gross looking car.
That intro music for car just killed it. I mean really. It's dead waste👍🏼
Ahhh yes ......MG-Rovers parts bin car..... fugly.....utterly fugly... and thats coming from a Rover fan.....
Irrespective it’s a nice looking car
Mustang
Looks like the front of a Vauxhall Holden VXR8 and the back of a TVR..
I keep hearing Amg
Audi tt?
Some of my childhood dreams were shattered here. Oh no wait, I was 18 at the time of launch. Never mind.
Looks like a kitted up TVR.
If a Dodge Stratus and a Supra had a baby.
Shamefully; Clarkson had it in for Rover/MG all along and eve proud of his part in their downfall...
Well I’m the only one then pooooower ooooouuuutput
I love this car so much!
So this is the weapon to surpass Metal Gear...
Looks like a Dodge Neon in the front and Chevy Cobalt in the back
Looks like a vz commodore at the front
Push button start - just like cars of the 50s, such as the ford Anglia E494A, which was the first car I drove.
best thing about it is that it looks like a MK1 TT
Nearly gave me a seizure
Lol how many did they ever sell...
It just doesn't look right but I can't figure out why
The body ripples as this car drives so much, it really does scream uk quality
The editing of this video is why the american colonies broke off from the UK
Still think that mg missed out on getting this sent over across the pond. The dodge boys would of eaten this up, all that was needed was a rename. Maybe, barracuda?
It looks like someone tried to revive the Calibra
Looks like a tvr, TT, chrysler nightmare
IS THIS A JOKE?
Bro... thats a new edge mustang with a bodykit! 🤣
Lying about what your sports car can do is a proud motor manufacturing tradition!
Is that a dodge stratus?
I’d have a Vauxhall manaro vxr every time. In a different league.
It looks like a car from GTA which is trying to impersonate a real life car
This is a car for gorms
Looks like it's trying to hard.
fiat punto mk2 headlights and fiat brava/bravo rear lights if i remember correctly
It's a Chrysler Neon
Most people want their kit car to look like a supercar, not their supercar to look like a bad kit car. With a Chrysler grill on a old mustang
I want one of these suckers so bad
www.ilae.org The resolution on Global Actions on Epilepsy adopted by World Health Assembly This is a beautiful car that teaches us many things about how things work and evolve over time #collaboratearoundtheworld #occupationaltherapists
Looks great without the rear wing and in a nice colour.
Funnily enough my only issue with the styling is that the wheels look a bit small
Jesus, that back yard seems like it should be in a third world country, just like the build quality of this vehicle
You gotta love the Punto headlights.
As an American - can confirm there are TONS of 1000hp mustangs with the modular 4.6L V8. Not with stock internals, but there absolutely are 4 figure power levels from the 4.6 and 5.0L versions of this engine. New cams, valves, pistons, rods, and upgraded cooling and oiling system can get you well over 1000hp with a stock engine block. And nitrous. There's guys with over 700hp without nitrous.
Reminds me of a Panoz but uglier.
Now I need to go back and watch Clarkson get the side of the head smacked by that MG SV.
Metal gear?
looks like a dodge stratus
It looks like a mid 2000s Dodge. Yuck.
The sponsor is wrong. Additives do not ever give your engine more power
Engine Blows out before 10000 miles
its a commodore with a body kit
I mind seeing one at the secc car show then never seen one again. Never seen one on the road.
It has one of the worst rear ends of any car.
Epilepsy warning at the start would be nice
Those guys in the back really need an OSHA visit. Or UK equivalent.
The front does not match the rear at all. The proportions look so weird as well.
its like mg looked at the commodore and a tvr and copied their homework
I love fiat pinto headlights 👀
Guys... You *have* to know 95% of your audience are watching this on a phone screen less than a for away from their faces. The flashing needs to stop, tacky and irritating at best, seizure inducing at worst.
So.... Did that one car ever get made then? Kind of stopped talking about the most important bit. Feeling a little clickbaited...
It looks like a dodge viper crossed with a neon
Meh looks like a Ford Mustang with Audi bits hanging off of it....I'd rather have a new Mustang.
An epilepsy warning should be mandatory for a video like this, especially given that it's a professional channel. For the sake of humanity, please put a warning in the title and put timestamps in the description so people can avoid seizures.
Looks a bit like a Mustang with a Dodge Avenger grill. Having said that, I think it looks fantastic and would like a go in one. I'm sure the squireliness could be sorted.
This is certainly in the running for the ugliest car ever made.
every American clicking on this video knew you couldn't get a 650 shot of Mr.Giggle to not qualify the pistons as astronauts on a old Lincoln SUV motor.
Great vid, interesting. I remember seeing one of these at the time in metallic green.
Steering wheel is on the wrong side.
Absolute shitbox. Looks like Max Power designed it
Imo this is one of of the most beautiful cars of its age
Lost me at, "Never driven a TVR but i'd imagine it feels like this" AMAZING journalism there! Not keen on this guys style at all...
It looks like an American muscle car and an Italian grand tourer has a baby that was raised by a ricer. I think it looks fantastic.
Nice Holden bro
That front end looks so early 2000s dodge.
Reminds me of the a modern day version of the lotus Carlton. I remember playing with one of these in 2005 in my 03 CLK55 AMG and I was very surprised! We were both doing over 150 mph at times, with my 55 being remapped and pushing just under 400bhp I would pull away at higher speeds.
Part Toyota supra, part BMW Z3 and part Dodge Stratus. One of the ugliest "super cars" I have ever seen.
this 🤡🏳🌈🙌💖
Rear looks like tvrs Fronts looks like dodge Side looks like 350z
I always thought this thing was a concept car I had no idea they actually existed
Tvr rear end
im sorry im new to this channel this bloke has never driven a TVR who is he ?????????????????????????????
Looks like a prototype Dodge Stratus
This is a rover commodore sv saloon isn't it? I haven't watched the whole vid yet 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
This car does 1000hp DRIVETRIBE- no it dosent “There was help from the Italians” Me - yeah that makes sense
With cars like this it’s no surprise that MG isn’t around anymore.
designed by some guy named Tim at the corner workshop
Cobalt ss, Audi TT, Dodge nitro.
They should have chosen the Ford Barra motor from the Falcons in Australia, they pushed anything up to a 1000bhp without nitrous, and they've been around since the early 2000s.
I like that car.
Looks like a long audi tt
We never got to see the nitrous boosted SV go around the track...
Imagine using the trio’s names to clickbait for videos they’re not in...
I thought that was a commodore for a second
It looks like a fish.
That flashing was horrendous, please don’t do that again
Looks like a botched crossfire.
Pffff that nitrous business is nothing compared to the identity crisis it has
a 911 with Dodge Neon styling, neat.
