The financial crunch has taken its toll on every automaker and when GM can ‘literally shutdown’ MG comes across as no surprise. Had MG been thriving, the world would have seen a number of impressive sports cars bearing the moniker. Some recently spotted development sports car sketches reveal what MG was planning back in the year 2005. The trio of sketches includes a coupe, a reworked midget and the new TF roadster all of which were to use the updated 120-180 horsepower engine.
All these designs were created by automotive designer Lee Mitchell and this trio was to use the next generation TF architecture. These sports cars were to use an all-aluminum tub and the involved cost would have been £52-million which was £2-million more than the project cost. Interestingly, the designer still has hope as a Chinese investment group probably intends to back these designs.
