MG AUTO

MG Motor is not merely an iconic brand with nearly 100 years of history. Instead, it represents a lasting motorsports spirit through legendary models and racing achievements.

Conquering prestigious racing horizons

MG Motor began its journey in 1924 in the United Kingdom, when Cecil Kimber founded the company. The company originally operated as Morris Garages, the brand quickly gained fame for agile and elegant sports cars. These models combined exhilarating performance with timeless design. As a result, MG’s British craftsmanship and motorsports passion helped establish its global reputation.

From iconic road races like the Mille Miglia to land speed record attempts at the Bonneville Salt Flats, MG Motor machines continuously demonstrated unmatched speed and power. These achievements not only solidified MG’s reputation as a high-performance manufacturer but also reshaped the automotive industry’s perception of what a sports car could accomplish.

A streak of breakthrough records

During the 1930s, MG dominated motorsport events. Leading the charge was the MG K3 Magnette, which secured historic victories at renowned races such as the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) and the Ulster TT.

Following this success, in 1931, the compact MG EX 120, which earned the nickname “Magic Midget,” set a historic benchmark at the Brooklands Double Twelve race over a distance of 1,093 miles, achieving an impressive average speed of 166 km/h for its era. Although this model did not participate in larger Grand Prix events, it proved its exceptional acceleration and agility on shorter circuits.

Meanwhile, MG developed the EX 127 and EX 135 as purpose-built streamliners specifically for land speed records.. Both models achieved extraordinary speed milestones at the Bonneville Salt Flats in the United States. The MG EX 127 broke the record in 1938 by hitting 203.11 mph (327.97 km/h), while the MG EX 135 set its own landmark record in 1939 with a speed of 212.24 mph (341.75 km/h).

The synergy between pioneering powertrain engineering and finely tuned chassis design allowed MG vehicles to deliver exceptional performance across all terrains. The pinnacle of this engineering pursuit was the MG EX 181, which established a world land speed record of 395 km/h in 1957, before breaking its own record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1959 with a top speed of 410 km/h.
