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...

Great car
I remember seeing a red one of these years ago while on holiday in Aviemore up in Scotland. Was parked in the hotel carpark I think next to a MGb V8
Right! So you're welcome to my video blog about cars.
That is one of the most hideous cars I've ever seen
Right! So you're welcome to my video blog about cars.
Love a fast mg tbf
side profile it looks like a 2000 to 2004 mustang.
Right! So you're welcome to my video blog about cars.
Oh wow! I just realized the headlights are from a Fiat Punto MK2 xD
Rover and mg should have been saved but england is sold out and comprimised by china and the eu, england doesnt make or export much anymore or even buy its own products, even councils, emergency services ,breakdown companies etc all lease german vehicle fleets rather than put money back into the uk motor trade, there is zero demand for british cars other than millionaires buying rollsroyces.
We do still make Hondas in the UK. The problem was the government tried to save BL in 80s but they still couldn't make it worthwhile.
What a colour. Baby's first supercar?
Looks like a TVR with a dodge minivan front end.
Beastly looking creature
Such name droppers
I see people posting that it looks like: a Chrysler or a Vauxhall Monaro. To me the back is a Audi TT and the front is a disaster. I used to own an MG and was patriotic to the brand. . It is now a Chinese owned brand and making great EVs that look like Mazdas.... go figure.
Looks like a Audi TT crossed with a Dodge of the early 2000s
The black flash editing is trash please stop that
1000bhp, was MG not buying the engines from Fords with an output of 400bhp and downgrading them to 250bhp? Or was that just in the MG ZT?
Engine in the ZT was a 2v 4.6 Ford Modular V8. Output in the Mustang of the time was 240hp and was 'tuned' by Roush to produce 260hp. The engine was replaced about a year after it came out by the Ford Coyote V8 which was a development of it and much more powerful.
MG ZT only.
just look at it. i feel im looking at a ford mustang
The stupidest part is they could've done this with the mkiv supra and they never had any intention of making a supercar.
All about the Mk2 Fiat Punto headlights
Mk2 Punto Headlights anyone?
It looks like the child of an Opel Calibra and a Fiat Coupe... after a shopping spree on eBay for 2000’s bodykits
NISSAN skyline r34 styling with AUDI tt roof and Chrysler grill, Ford Engine and British tail lights
pointless machine
No wonder they went bust
That MG logo on the lower grille looks like the Autobots logo from a distance 🤔
This is basically just a Terminator Cobra but worse.
I ALWAYS wanted to know about this lol
Audi TT meets Chevrolet Cobalt meets Dodge
Prrrr output
Fiat Punto is that you?
This what you get when you combine a dodge neon bonnet and grill, a chevy cobalt rear trunk, Audi tt body, and Bugatti headlights
Just look at I did my eyes hurts 😳🤔😁
Where is the nitrous kit and 3 times flashing are unnecessary...
The intro was horrible first minute and get to the point when talking like the other 3 do , Terrible video disappointed :(
Clickbait Where’s the build ?
Holden Commodore front, Audi Quattro middle, Porsche 911 back, and looks like a proton from the rear.
🤥I’m sure you have been using those additives for Longer than we care to remember . 🤥
Can't say it's pretty but, it's interesting.
I love the flared wheel arches gives me gt3 car vibes
One of the ugliest cars I’ve ever seen
Holden much?
This car looks as If a CHRYSLER 200 Audi TT mazda rx8 and a TVR pancaked in an accident..aaand there are HARDLY ANY MASS HP stangs in the states most are 6v
The front headlights remind me of the fiat punto ones.. The older models.
Those ford 4.6 based engines done properly in my opinion is one of the best sounding v8 engines ever.
It was hideous in it's day and it's still hideous now, Best car to have that engine was the Spectre R45 (Never made it to market)
Looks like a commodore
Power claims as ridiculous as the styling
It looks like a V8 powered Supra lol not a bad thing just something I noticed
Bad obessionmotorsport has a shell of one mgs, they are playing big power on it.
Fiat Punto headlights 🤔
It looks like one of those cars that people in Thailand make out of fibreglass in their shed which are based on a Nissan Micra or something. Hard to believe its a real car.
Ah yes 2004 the year MG went INSANE!!
Just like you bought a standard gt mustang and then you give it to tuner and he builds the car
Looks like mopar tried to make a tvr
I love the seats & interior
Looks like a vauxhall cavalier and audi tt had a one night stand
The front looks like a dodge stratus
Looks like an Audi R8 with a Holden front end and a lotus rear end.
1000 bhp from a Crown Vic engine......riiiggghhtt
My 2016 mk7 golf r has more power than that 🤣🤣🤣
puke on wheels and I like MG cars normally.
A Dodge Avenger and an Audi TT walk into a bar...
Who are these people? I thought this drive tribe was the old top gear team . Don’t like this prat
I thought they had more power than 325 / 385bhp as standard.
3:22 look at that build quality
It's made of either carbon plastic, either is strong but very wobbly.
I dunno kinda looks like a vy commodore with a weird body kit to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It’s not a dodge
The wheels are such a bad choice for this car, makes it look like a pontiac fiero discount mobile
this year MG open its dealership for the 1st time in my country but sadly it is just a rebadge for chinese cars, none of their line up interesting. after seeing this i hope they bring this mode instead another boring LMPV
Are those Fiat Punto lights?
Yes
BX53AUT was my company car for a while when i worked for MG Sport and Racing in 2003/4. It was one of the pre production mules
My dad used to own the one Clarkson had in top gear. He was gonna get the one Rowan Atkinson had but it was too expensive so he went for the other one but he's since sold it now
1:53 I believe that's the same customer radio you see on a TVR Sagaris
Looks like a Chinese tvr from wish if they did one
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 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
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!
