Here is some ineteresting info from AutoExpress regarding the update to the
Rover 25 / MG ZR. It would seem that Rover's modifications are going to be
far more extensive and substantial than on the 45. Check it out:
NEW ZR ON THE CHARGE WITH TURBO POWER
Now the trio is complete! First we had the facelifted Rover 75 and MG ZT,
then came the revamped 45 and ZS - and now in the current issue of Auto
Express magazine we can exclusively reveal the next model in line for a
makeover: the ZR. And as well as fresh styling, the hot hatch will get turbo
power.
Ahead of its debut at next month's British Motor Show, the mag's picture
shows how the revised model will look when it goes on sale in the summer,
along with an environmentally friendly TF and an MG version of the
CityRover.
The facelifted ZR will be joined by a new-look 25, and both will inherit a
similar appearance to the recently unveiled 45 and ZS. As you can see, the
ZR will be treated to BMW 3-Series-style headlamps to go with the redesigned
front grille and bumper.
In profile, the hatchback will have flared wheelarches and a sporty air vent
on the front wing, both of which are inspired by MG's supercar flagship, the
XPower SV. At the rear, the remodelled version is likely to get a smoother
finish to the tailgate, as well as a new chrome exhaust surround. A range of
stylish alloy wheels will provide the finishing touch.
However, while the ZS's transformation was largely cosmetic, company
engineers have had more of a part to play in the ZR's facelift. The biggest
change will come under the bonnet, where a new turbocharged powerplant -
tipped to produce around 180bhp - will be added to the range. The flagship
will be priced at around £16,000, and should extend the appeal of what is
already Britain's top-selling hot hatch.
To go with its fresh face and improved performance, the ZR will also get a
revised interior similar to the ZS's. Round vents and a more modern finish
to the dash will give the dated interior a boost, while standard equipment
lists are also likely to grow.
Following the introduction of the ZR and 25, MG Rover will bring in restyled
versions of the Streetwise and the Express van, which are all based on the
same platform.
Meanwhile, the Midlands firm has been busy putting the finishing touches to
two other new models. The TF 200 HPD hybrid will be a unique roadster which
will feed a total power output of 197bhp through all four wheels, courtesy
of an electric motor combined with the standard 1.8-litre VVC petrol engine.
With 25 per cent more power than the conventional TF, the HPD - Hybrid
Performance Development - accelerates from 0-60mph in less than six seconds.
The hybrid TF will join the MG CityRover in the expanding line-up. Auto
Express readers found out about the spiritual successor to the MG Metro in
October last year (issue 779), and it has now got the go-ahead, with the
price expected to be around £12,000.

Anche qui come ne tuo post di prima sulla corolla c'č da notare che i fari
"147 style " (con la lacrimuccia) si sprecano.
Dopo quattro anni la 147 fa ancora scuola.

mistero.
A me sinceramente per alcuni aspetti piace, rispetto al modello attuale.
