MG E-motion – Shanghai Englishman

28 April 2017

MG at the Shanghai motor show revealed its concept E-motion electric

The Chinese have shown to show in Shanghai concept of the once British brand name MG E-motion. SAIC Motor owns the MG brand with 2006 years until recently it seemed that the days of the British brand are over, since SAIC announced the collapse of production in the United Kingdom. All I thought that the end was near, but not only investors. Even the Chinese don't have raised a hand to deprive the MG brand with its British roots.

The appearance of the concept is elegant, but not shouts to everyone in the district – "I'm British!". With the technical point of view E-motion coupe with the landing formula 2 + 2 and electric. Main design MG the current Sho Cinven, explained that the rear wheel arches are reminiscent of the 1955 MGA Roadster year and the interior tried to make to compete with, for example, the Bentley Continental GT. Shes such a swing between us...

The exterior was really interesting – the growth of the level designers from China visible to the naked eye. The lines are smooth, fluid, starting at the front and stretched on the whole length of the body, to create a complete image. Headlights like half closed "eyelashes" and bordered by a thin strip of LEDs – very impressive and lively looks.

The architecture of the rear lights is a bit more complicated headlamps, but they do not less beautiful to their form is in harmony with the style of the concept in General. The feeling that Chinese MG SAIC via E-motion I want to convey to the world: "We also know how to build beautiful cars!"

Moreover, the manufacturers themselves say that they have no plans to compete with firms from Albion, at least the near future. Just the concept is set, conditionally speaking, the "party line", the new MG corporate identity to the near future.

For example, the shape of the radiator grille may be the hallmark from Morris Garages, a Chinese execution. And maybe we can wait for the production model with the same upward opening doors (so-called guillotine type).

According to representatives of firm concept MG E-motion will be able to drive 500 kms to the following charging and reach 100 km/h in just 4 seconds. More to unfortunately, no data about the vehicle.

We hoped for the fact that the MG brand can regain its former glory, albeit under a led by people not of British origin. Have Lamborghini (part of the composition of the Audi Group) is a managed, let and the price of a departure from the traditional Italian style in the direction of German pragmatism, yeah and the automobile division of Volvo in recent years, is reborn on the eyes (from 2010 is part of the Chinese Geely group).
