New MG sports car MG E-Motion concept set for Shanghai

MG E-Motion concept teaser

After a lengthy absence and years of rumors it appears MG will finally be returning to the sports car market. Hazy teaser images of what looks to be a new concept car have appeared online, with reports suggesting the car could be called the MG E-Motion.

As the name suggests it will be a pure electric sports car, which could potentially preview a spiritual successor to the MG TF – axed from production in 2011.

The concept could be unveiled as early as next week at the Shanghai Motor Show – the home show for MG parent company SAIC. Details are limited but reports indicate a 0-62mph time of under 4 seconds and a range of over 300 miles.

The teaser images show a shape and design unlike anything we’ve previously seen from MG; only the ZS-inspired headlamps are recognizable. Clearly a sleek two-door coupe, the size of the concept is difficult to gauge, but given the body style, it’s likely to share a similar footprint to a BMW 4 Series.
