The
New MG ZT
The Australian launch of the MG ZT in 2002 reawakened MG’s long
tradition of building sports saloons. The MG ZT was the fastest and
most dynamic of a range of sporting saloons from MG that first appeared
in 1926 with the launch of the 4-seat MG 14/28 Super Sports.
Since
its launch, the MG ZT has won many fans, with most owners opting for
the superior levels of driving dynamics to those delivered by competitive
cars.
In
keeping with its reputation as a genuine European touring car, the changes
unveiled in this, MG’s 80th anniversary year, are evolutionary
in their scope.
The
external changes are the most noticeable; from the restyled, sharper-edged
more contemporary front, incorporating a more prominent MG family radiator
grille, through updated alloy wheel designs, to the revised lower lip
rear spoiler, all changes combine to increase the MG ZT’s road
presence.
Safety
and security have also been upgraded, with the fitment as standard of
the new style headlamps with halogen projector units, remote control
boot opening and superlocking on all doors.
Engineering
changes have focussed on the area of handling and driving dynamics.
With class-leading dynamics, we have taken great pains not to reduce
the handling superiority, rather, to revise the suspension settings
to afford more travel in the suspension, taking the edge off the ride
firmness.
Interior
changes have likewise been kept to a minimum. Improvements have been
made to the seat bolsters so as to increase comfort levels, new instrumentation
and backlighting for greater visibility and ease of use, a revised dashboard
and console texture finish, and improved rear legroom with reprofiled
seat cushions and squabs.
With
the MG ZT range now including the welcome addition of a thoroughbred
V8 powerplant (see separate press release), this class-leading motor
vehicle range has yet again set standards in handling, performance and
overall driving dynamics that others can only follow.
