MG TF Description

 

The new MG TF sports car is available in four model specifications – TF 115, TF 120 Stepspeed, TF 135 and TF 160, representing a significant change to enhance the appeal of the UK’s best-selling British roadster.

The aggressive and purposeful style of the MG TF is sleeker and sportier, with a lower stance made possible by the inclusion of new:

  • Front bumper formed for aerodynamic performance with MG grille identity
