Is it just me or does the MG XPower SV-R look like they asked the guy who designed the Dodge Neon to try to design a Ford Mustang crossed with a Nissan Skyline?
Got mine with no issue on pc.
Got mine on PC too but with a delay of round about 3 hours. With the Golf Mark 7.5 I get the car right after the season changed (so three hours earlier than the MG)
Funny thing is that they announced it as a chinese car but in the autoshow it qualifies as english car… I know that MG was bought by a chinese investor und that since 2016 I believe all MGs are build in China as well as the close the british dependance.
Somehow it reminds me from the back as a TVR lookalike…
Oh it’s a funny looking thing alright but it’s got a convoluted history, it’s not a new car and was originally realised 15+ years ago. It did have a Mustang engine though if not the body.
I like it, I’m glad to see it and drive as it’s quite rare IRL.
Review from Top Gear in 2003: https://youtu.be/ijLsworzkWg
It’s uglier than ugly. Looks like a backyard kit car.
Another video, talks about the 1000bhp claim: Was Clarkson right about the MG SV having a 1000bhp Nitrous Oxide kit? - YouTube
I tuned mine to over 1350, I presume they watched this video first lol!
It’s certainly not a looker, but this is the kind of quirky that I like from Forza. The daily drivers and the randos from doomed-to-fail start-ups less so.

When I saw it I thought it looked like if Mercedes made a Dodge Charger.
When I first saw it (before I twigged that it was an MG), my first thought was “Someone has made a Mustang knockoff”!
I quite like it, upgraded it of course now has a twin turbo V12 in it and has about 1400hp goes like a rocket.
If I didn’t know any better, I’d think it was one of the fake cars from Grand Theft Auto V.
I painted my Toyota Trueno like a Karin Futo lol
That’s where Rockstar have been crafty a lot of the cars in GTA look like real life cars but they have given them fake names so they don’t have to pay for licence for the real car models.
None of them look exactly like real life cars though. The always give them something different, like a different grille, headlights, back end, mix and match parts from 2 or more real life cars, etc.
Same can be said of real life cars they look similar but have different defineing grilles, lights or whatever.
This is actually my favorite of this recent batch of car pack cars. I love when they add obscure, cool cars.
I requested it in FH4 along with the Jaguar XJR-15 so super happy they added it. Love odd the vents and arches. Just need a Nazca C2 and the Toyota TS020 now 
TS020 had a PI rating of 973 in Forza Motorsport 6 which pasts beyond S2 998 in Fh7. No car can start with X rating.
They literally have all the other cars in GT1 class it faced in 1998 though…
Its a good looking car. Robust. I like those cars. There are soo many cars that look like a mix between many brands… this is no different.
