MG X-power SV (Sports Veloce) After acquiring Qvale Automotive (Italy) and with a view to US sales plans to produce an MG based on the Qvale Mangusta were hatched. The 2001 prototype was deemed to be not aggressive enough designer Peter Stevans brought the design from clay to production in 300 days. at a base price of £ 75.000 to £ 82, 000 for the SV-R model. Assembled with UK carbon fibre body panels in Turin and shipped to Longbridge for trimming and finishing. Some parts came straight from Fiat, headlamps from the Punto Mk.2 rear lights from the Fiat Coupe. Powered by a 4600 cc V8 Ford Modular of 320 bhp the manual had a top speed of 165 mph, or as the SVR-S which featured a Roush tuned, "cammer" 5.0 L 32 valve Modular V8. MG claimed the SV-R produced 385 bhp
Unlike the base model SV, the SV-R was offered with a choice of either manual or automatic transmissions, as well as a factory approved nitrous oxide kit from the MG ZT-T Bonneville world record car, which pushed the power output to an estimated 1,000 bhp (700 kW). .
