Over 500 engineers are now based at Longbridge working on these and other exciting
product programmes. MG Rover has already invested over £100m in new product
development since the Company was established in May 2000.
Kevin Howe, chief executive said: "2001 will be the year when the MG brand
re-establishes itself as a leading global car brand with a range of sporty
cars from the MGF roadster to an outrageous MG X10. MG’s will be fun, accessible,
have superb dynamics and appeal to a growing customer target group."
To ensure these objectives are met Peter Stevens, designer of such cars as
the McLaren F1 as well as cars for Lotus and Jaguar, is directing the product
design activities. His colleague and board director, Rob Oldaker, is ensuring
the chassis will produce driving exhilaration and the powertrain develop appropriate
levels of performance.
