MG SV returns, TF founders

By Keith Adams (additional reporting by Russell Gowers) Motor Industry 15 April 2008 10:14 In the latest twist of the MG Rover saga, and three years after the original MG XPower SV supercar went out of production, the controversial coupe has made a surprise re-appearance. However, the likelihood of us ever seeing the reborn TF roadster seems to be receding by the week.Now known as the XPower WR, the Qvale Mangusta-based supercar has been eased back into production by William Riley – a descendant of the creators of the historic car company bearing the same name.His company, known as MG Sports and Racing Europe Limited, produces the supercharged WR, selling it for between £75,000 and £90,000 depending in specification. The rights to the car – and its badge – were bought from MG Rover administrators PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2005.

Eterniti Artemis costs a whopping £252k

Eterniti Artemis - Hemera as was - costs £252k The Eterniti Artemis – formerly know as the Eterniti Hemera – has debuted at Beijing, goes on sale in the summer and costs £252k. In case you’re as confused as we were when we got the press releases, the Eterniti Artemis isn’t a new 911 Turbo based supercar from Eterniti but the new name for what was the Eterniti Hemera, the titivated Porsche Cayenne Turbo with a big price tag. Until the reveal of the production version of the Eterniti Artemis in Beijing today we didn’t know how much Eterniti would want for their pimped Cayenne, although we had speculated it would be the wrong side of £150k.

Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid qualifies for £5,000 taxpayer incentive

Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid qualifies for £5,000 taxpayer incentive When Porsche revealed the first facelift for the Panamera back in April, they also revealed the Panamera S E-Hybrid, a plug-in hybrid with the power of a V8 and the fuel consumption of a city car. It’s a brilliant demonstration of how car makers have worked their way round the daft CO2 tax regimes designed to strangle the marketplace for powerful, luxury cars by using technology to attain far lower official emissions figures than ever. In the case of the Panamera S E-Hybrid that means a plug-in hybrid with a 94bhp electric motor to boost the power from the 3.0 litre V6 to 410bhp.
