MG\u2019s fastest model is raising eyebrows almost as much as the XPower SV-R did 20 years ago<\/h2>\n

A critical part of many mainstream brands\u2019 presence in the UK market is an aspirational high-performance offering, so when MG announced it would be bringing back the XPower moniker with a hot version of its MG4, we thought we should bring the most iconic high-performance MG of its recent history together with XPower\u2019s future.<\/p>\n

That car is the MG XPower SV-R, a once-in-a-generation sports car that attracted lots of attention at its genesis, only to be later confined to history by MG\u2019s financial instability at the time.
