I'm not saying "Definately Not", 'cos I can't be sure, but I expect that if it was, then there would be some official statement at http://www.wsr-racing.com, don't you? I'm not sure when the official launch is. Anyone know when?.. And where?

The offical launch for the MG BTCT project is the at the end of March. But i think it was offically confirmed what model they would be running (the 45) and what to call the MG version.
There couldn't have been a car on TV today, as they haven't built or designed it yet! Not even a Show Car. It must have been an artist impression or something!?! |

Anyway if it was on TV what channel and programme was it on.
But I read Sun Motors last week saying all three MG models were launched this week and there was also something they mentioned about the BTCC. |

According to the MG-Rover press statement the new MG's will be sold alongside their current Rover brothers (sisters ??) The 75 will now be the X10 (available with a V8 & RWD !!!!!), the 45 will be the X20 (complete with V6) & the 25 the X30. So far so good.

The road car certainly doesn't look far of a BTCC car anyway.
Maybe the designers had the BTCC in mind, maybe it's meant to be a road legal BTCC lookalike! |

Doesnt look as stunning as the Astra or 406 Coupes, though.
