You can now see a picture of this beastie (scheduled for launch this year)on the MG website, under the developments stuff, next to the SV.
I think it looks wicked! and I want one!

RWD too!! wonder what sort of dosh they'll want?

Some nice "spy" piccies of the ZTR (AKA ZT385) in Autocar this week.
It's coming.........

....slowly.....

btw do you think that is the final body work ? The font bumper didn't look complete, and the wheel arches didn't look connected to anything at the bottom - I wondered if a sideskirt was missing. The styling of the arches and so on reminded me of the SV at the motorshow.

Cheers,

Andy.

I think you're right. there must be some sort of additional sill skirt to go on.
Looks quite butch! Should work great with a nice dark colour, and the wheels look good too.
Wonder what the plate is behind the diff. It looks fairly chunky and I saw it on the blue prototype as well, so it's clearly something structural. Any ideas?

I was wondering that as well - unless it was something to do with the toe bar that was fitted! 170mph caravan ?!

Editted to say is it the diff mounting ? I'm not sure where they put the diff and how similar the back of the car is to a 5 series. Have they mounted the diff on the underside somehow rather than move it up into the spare wheel space (or something) ?

I had a look on my ZT last night - it looks like it could be just part of the mounting for the tow bar.

Cheers,
