MG->ke56 needs our love, guys and gals. The British automaker deserves it and it's on us to give it. With so many automakers having sports hatchbacks available, it's easy to see why MG can get lost in the mix. So it's on us to give it some shine, especially when it releases a model like the MG3 Trophy Championship Concept->ke169 that actually has some very nice qualities and over 100 horsepower more than the standard version.

The model was introduced at the MG90, an event that celebrated the company's 90th anniversary, that took place from June 20 through 24, 2014. Three concepts were launched during the event and one of them is the MG3 Trophy Championship Concept. It's based on the current MG3 and was given a comprehensive aerodynamic and performance upgrade that has given the sports hatch->ke304 a little more pop.

It's not going to blow your mind, but it could be appealing enough to get racing teams interested in the vehicle. That's one of the objectives in launching the concept and for the sake of MG, we're hoping that interest is high on this modified bad-boy.

MG MG3 Trophy Championship Concept In Detail

As a race car concept, MG pulled out all the stops to make the MG3 lighter than its standard configuration. Accomplishing that involved a host of things, beginning by making the body lighter. Once that was accomplished, MG took the task of increasing the car's sturdiness, doing so by adding a limited-slip differential, a fully adjustable Macpherson strut front setup, an adjustable front splitter, and a twin-plain adjustable rear spoiler.

The biggest source of pride for the MG3 Trophy Championship Concept is the engine upgrade. Thanks to a slew of modifications to the engine, this race car concept is now capable of producing 204 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque, an incredible increase from the standard model's 100-horsepower and 100 pound-feet of torque numbers.
