New MG track debut
April 19th, 2010 by Richard Aucock
MG Motor will showcase its brand new MG6 family car at Silverstone race circuit in early June.
The MG Live event is being attended by the fledgling maker as it aims to make inroads into the UK new car market once again.
It is an event run by the MG Car Club, which is marking its 60th anniversary year. Getting the Chinese-owned car maker is a bit of a coup for the club, particularly as it will be an exclusive pre-launch preview showing of the MG6.
Guy Jones, sales and marketing director for MG Motor UK, said: ‘We strongly believe that the loyal fans of the MG brand should have the first opportunity to see the new MG6 and what better opportunity than at the world famous Silverstone race circuit at the ‘MG Live!’ event in June.
‘This is already a great event and a testimony to the strength of the MG brand, so it is fitting that we take the all new MG6 there as part of the celebrations surrounding the MG brand.
‘The MG6 will be the centrepiece of the MG Motor stand at the heart of the action for the weekend at Silverstone.’ Also on show, he added, will be the Brit-built MG TF roadster.
What is the MG6? A family 5-door hatchback that’s mooted as a Ford Focus rival by the new firm. It promises the car will drive well, and that engines including a revised 1.8T K-Series will meet all the latest emissions standards.
