The story of this remarkable car is, unfortunately, a sad one. This was one of the last true UK-U.S. hybrids. It was a modern-day muscle coupe with Italian styling, American engine, and British exclusivity. They constructed it in Modena, Italy, and finished it in England. Also, they designed the MG X-Power to deliver a sports car-level of performance. They gave it aggressive muscle styling with a soundtrack to match. Under the hood was a Ford-sourced 4.6-liter V8 engine straight from the Mustang delivering 320 HP.

MG even offered a supercharged version capable of producing 540 HP. When they introduced it in 2003, it was one of the most interesting releases. However, MG lacked the image and reputation to achieve success on the global market. On sale for just three years, they discontinued the X-Power in 2005. Today, this is a forgotten piece of the British muscle car class. But, it is still a capable V8 powered coupe with brutal looks and performance.
