MG

Free-spirited.
Individual.
Distinctive.
Can you remember
the first time?
 The first time you discovered a road that became more than a ribbon of
asphalt linking A-to-B.The first time you discovered driving delight.

A time when sports cars were sleek, sophisticated and, yes, sexy. A time
when your car reflected your lifestyle, perfectly.

It takes a very special car maker to capture those moments. Great sports cars are part-art,
part-science, part that indefinable moment when corners begin to flow, to develop their own rhythm.

MG TF is all about capturing the moment.The moment when driving matters

more than anything else.

A two-seat, mid-engined, rear wheel drive sports car, pure in design and intent.
Free-revving engines with up to 160Ps. Precision handling. Real ride quality. That magic
feeling of intimacy with the road, the journey ahead. A car that fits you like a glove, rewards
you like a friend and sums up your attitude to life.

Free-spirited. Individual. Distinctive. And unashamedly cool. You can remember the first time.

You can remember the first time. Every time you drive .
What does MG do? Make true sports cars.
That simple.

Has done since 1924. MGTF reflects this world-class heritage in a defiantly contemporary format. This car is
mid-engined because mid-engined cars handle more fluidly than front or rear-engined cars. ( Just ask any race driver.)

You notice the difference in the first quarter-mile of driving – the light, informative steering, the car’s agile responses.

But you also notice those discerning touches you would expect from a time-served sports car manufacturer. A low driving
position. A real cockpit, with perfectly-located steering wheel and gearshift lever. A feeling of oneness with the car.
A sense that driving excellence – past, present and future – always mattered to MG.

Along with true craftsmanship. Tiny details, from the instruments to the switchgear, to seats designed to locate driver
and passenger with a gently reassuring grip.

Because MG is about more than performance, more than mere numbers. MG is also about quality, about attention
to detail. About the very best kind of traditional values.

And mid-engined doesn’t have to mean expensive.

MG, then, does more than make true sports cars. MG make true sports cars accessible.
With ; driving
enjoyment is standard
equipment.

You downshift two gears, turn-in with one smooth

wheel movement.There’s a bump on the apex of
the turn – and this car just shrugs it off. Rides the
ripples as you take aim at the next bend.

Driving enjoyment is standard

equipment with MG TF.
Everything’s in the right place.
Pedals spaced for heel-and-toe.
Exactly the right thickness of
steering wheel rim. Gearshift
right where you expect it, to
the millimetre.

There’s a precise feel to the

steering, a real connectedness
to the road – and this car reacts
predictably, quickly, precisely, to
small movements of the wheel.

There’s a harmony to chassis,

springing, steering, engine,
gearbox and brakes.This isn’t a
coincidence.This is the result of
combining a classic mid-engined,
rear wheel drive layout with
double wishbone front
suspension and a multi-link
rear end. (Double wishbone?
Think Formula1. Multi-link?
Think engineering excellence.)

State-of-the-art technology working

in concert, deliciously balanced
and empowered to deliver real
driving satisfaction.

Downshift two gears,

turn-in with one smooth
wheel movement.

Now do it again. Now you

understand .
Responsive. Quick.
Seductive. Sports car.

The engine noise is behind you – says it all really.

A rich growl – but from behind your head.The engine is
revving hard, the exhaust note hardening each time the
needle pokes toward the red line.

Welcome to genuine sports car exhilaration.

MG TF is available with a 160Ps variable valve-

controlled, lightweight, 16v, race-proven 1.8 litre
multipoint injection engine.Translation: all the
power you need, all the responsiveness you crave,
an engine apparently telepathically connected to
every movement of your right foot, however
small, however acute.

MG TF 160 has a top speed of 137mph and sprints

from 0-60mph in just 6.9 seconds.Translation: it’s
quick. Quick in making overtaking moves shorter
and safer. Quick for moments when car, road and
circumstance coalesce to make memories.

But this car is about more than numbers. MGTF is,

above all, about feel. About uncluttered responses,
about making you the core element in a uniquely
rewarding driving experience.

One where the engine noise

is always behind you.
Change gear at the flick of a finger.
You’ve seen Grand Prix racing on TV. Watched how today’s race drivers change gear
by nothing more than flexing their fingers.

This, fundamentally, is the philosophy behind Stepspeed. A revolutionary transmission giving the
driver new options in gearchanging. Stepspeed, on demand, can be a slick six-speed clutchless
change, where you fire upshifts and downchanges from steering wheel switches, GP-style.
Yet in traffic, imagine a transmission which, at your command, operates as a full automatic.
Place lever in D, apply throttle; feel traffic jam tension evaporate. That’s the other side of Stepspeed.

Partnered with a 120Ps 1.8 litre engine, Stepspeed offers as much control as you desire – for a
really easy life. Stepspeed gives MG TF two entirely complementary personalities. Both of which you’ll savour.
Stylish, sporty, sophisticated
(that’s you – and ).

That word you’re striving for? Distinctive. Definitely not effete. Not aggressive,
because it doesn’t need to be. Just confident and controlled.

A look for a lifestyle, then: your lifestyle.

Modern, self-assured, self-reliant, sophisticated, sporty.

Driver-oriented without being brash, MGTF sums up

MG’s attitude to sports cars: MG TF looks forward while
subtly acknowledging the past.

Think classic with a twist.

Those signature side air-inlets, intimate – no more
than that – the true performance intent of MGTF.

The distinctive MG four-slot nose showcases new-tech

projector headlamps glistening under simple, clear
covers. Intriguing by day, unmistakable at night.

At the rear, a subtle spoiler includes a centre brake

light. Metallic exhaust outlets peek through the
rear bumper.

That word you’re striving for? Inimitable.

 115 a modern sports car
highlighted by classic MG virtues.

Great styling.
Superb driving environment. Genuine individuality.
A real purity of intention.

And astonishing value.

So don’t assume the TF 115’s position on the price-list

diminishes its sporting abilities.

Because that’s not the MG way. MG has always

seamlessly blended affordability with driving
satisfaction.

Which is why the 1.6i engine brandishes 116Ps along

with MG’s characteristic sports car sweetness.
(And impressive fuel economy.)

There’s also a 136Ps 1.8 engine, with high-lift camshafts

and low-loss intake and exhaust systems – and the
punchy 160Ps unit, with variable valve control.
Each of these engines has multipoint fuel injection and
a sophisticated electronic engine management system:
each feels coolly capable in any kind of driving.
The MGTF driving experience is often out of
this world. But always with down-to-earth cost
of ownership.

A rare combination. One which makes MGTF

truly modern.
Your . Individual. Personal.

A reflection of who you are. What you

stand for. What matters to you.

An exclusive statement.

So make your MG TF unique. Light Smokestone interior

with Gunsmoke and Black
Alcantara seats.
MG TF has a real sportscar cockpit. Intimate, driver-focused
and intended just for two.There’s a sophisticated technical
finish for the console, door inserts and instrument binnacle
surround: modern, yet approachable. Like the car itself.

A place to celebrate driving.

Your place.

Grenadine interior with

Grenadine and Black
Alcantara seats.
Sports car for the city,
sports car seven days a week.
Don’t think that MGTF is solely aimed at the open road: this
car’s portfolio is vast. Add the optional hard top and you’ve two
cars in one:
an urban commuter during the week delivering open road
exhilaration at weekends.The hard top adds a streetwise
touch to MGTF’s poised style complete with a heated glass
rear screen: the hard top highlights the all-year capabilities
of MGTF, whatever the weather.

With zestful low-speed acceleration, pin-sharp brakes and

compact dimensions, MGTF makes real sense for a busy city
lifestyle through spring, summer, autumn and winter. Sports cars
used to be all about compromise.

Not any more.

Be bold. Be discrete. Be yourself.

A car this distinctive deserves an innovative colour palette.With hues

ranging from funky through techno to, yes, traditional. Each body shade
can be complemented with a choice of hood colours, allowing you to make
a truly personal statement.
For the ultimate expression of individuality, choose a colour from the new
Monogram range.*

Take one last look.

On the right road, at the right time,

MG TF makes you fall in love with
driving all over again. Little things –
a rich exhaust note, a short-throw
gearshift, steering which is perfectly
weighted – allow you to immerse
yourself in the moment, in the
road ahead.

Yet there are times when the look of

MG TF, the way the sculpted bodywork
flows tightly to the tyres, the way the
leather-rim steering wheel feels
to the touch, the way the seats mould
themselves to the small of your back,
matter just as much as scribing a perfect
arc from entry, through apex, to exit.

This car says great things about

attitude to life.
About sense of style.

Your , your sports car.

Try it. Drive it.
And feel free to fall in love.
