MG X-Power SV. Possibly an SV-R but looks like one of the early SV shots.

MG´s sport and racing label is just "XPower", so this is the XPower SV or SV-R

Upon further review it appears that it is an MG. The site where I pulled it lead me to believe it to be a TVR...

You shouldn't believe uncritically everything that you read in the papers or on the internet ;D

Though they are not always right, to their credit, the Hemmings Blog was postulating on what might come to be, if William Riley, heir to the Riley atomotive brand name, get's his way.

Quick note: this car was never sold as just an X-Power (also spelt XPower or X Power on occasions). The MG name was always used and X-Power while technically correct was usually dropped. It has no connection with any TVR but is based on the De Tomaso Mangusta/Qvale.
