Введение
MG ZT – автомобиль, выпускавшийся компанией MG Rover с 2001 по 2005 год. Он предлагался в кузовах седан и универсал, последний имел обозначение MG ZT T. Внешний вид схож с Rover 75, на платформе которой он и был создан, однако различные модификации, в особенности колеса и шины, обеспечивают более спортивное управление. Производство было остановлено в апреле 2005 года из-за финансовых проблем MG Rover.
The MG ZT is a car which was produced by MG Rover from 2001 to 2005. It was offered in saloon and estate versions, the latter designated as the MG ZT T. Styling is similar to the Rover 75, upon which it was based, although various modifications, most noticeably the wheels and tyres, make for a far sportier ride. Production ceased in April 2005, amidst financial turmoil at MG Rover.
История развития
В 2001 году, через три года после запуска Rover 75 и менее чем через год после выделения MG Rover из BMW, были представлены MG ZT и MG ZT T. В процессе разработки модели носили кодовые обозначения X10 и X11 для седана и универсала соответственно. Общая форма и дизайн MG ZT остались схожими с Rover 75, но с изменениями в переднем бампере, теперь с интегрированной решеткой радиатора, и детальными улучшениями, включая окраску хромированной линии кузова в цвет кузова, новую накладку на крышку багажника, а также различные размеры легкосплавных дисков и шин. В интерьере были обновлены сиденья и приборная панель, с новыми приборными шкалами. Инженерные изменения включали в себя модернизацию подвески и тормозов, а также перенастройку двигателей (от Rover 75) для бензиновых версий. Разработкой MG ZT руководил Роб Олдакер, директор по разработке продукции, а за изменения в дизайне отвечал Питер Стивенс, ранее создавший дизайн McLaren F1 и версии X180 Lotus Esprit. MG ZT предлагался только в одной комплектации, хотя стандартную машину можно было заказать с пакетом "Плюс". Модели MG ZT получили названия, отражающие мощность двигателя, например, V6 мощностью 160 л.с. называлась MG ZT 160, а V6 с 190 л.с. и пакетом "Плюс" – MG ZT 190+. MG ZT отличался от других новых моделей MG, представленных в то же время, тем, что его высокопроизводительную версию можно было приобрести в стандартной комплектации. Высокопроизводительные MG ZR 160 и MG ZS 180 поставлялись в комплектации "Плюс" по умолчанию. Это изменилось только с рестайлингом в 2004 году, когда модели 190 выпускались в версиях 190+ или 190+ SE. Из стандартного списка доступно было множество опций. Программа индивидуализации MG Rover позволяла клиентам практически полностью настроить свой ZT.
In 2001, three years after the launch of the Rover 75, and less than a year after the demerger of MG Rover from BMW, the MG ZT and MG ZT T were launched. During the cars' development, the models were codenamed X10 and X11, for the saloon and estate versions, respectively. The basic shape and styling of the MG ZT remained the same as for the Rover 75 but with changes to the front bumper, now with an integrated grille, and detail alterations including colour coding of the chromed waistline, a new bootlid plinth, and different alloy wheels and tyres sizes. The interior featured revised seats and dashboard treatment, with new instrument faces. Engineering changes ranged, from upgraded suspension and brakes to revised engine tuning (from the Rover 75) for the petrol models. Development of the MG ZT was headed by Rob Oldaker, Product Development Director, with styling changes undertaken by Peter Stevens, who was previously responsible for the styling of the McLaren F1 and X180 version of the Lotus Esprit. The MG ZT only had one trim level, though the standard car could be ordered with a "Plus" pack. MG ZT models were named after engine unit power output ie a 160ps V6 model was a MG ZT 160, and a 190ps V6 model with a "Plus" pack was a MG ZT 190+. The MG ZT differed in this way to the other new MG models launched at the same time, as its high power version could be purchased as a standard spec. The top power MG ZR 160 and MG ZS 180 were spec'ed to "plus" spec as standard. This only changed with the facelift of 2004 when 190 models were 190+ or 190+ SE. Many options were available from the standard list. MG Rover’s monogram programme allowed customers to almost tailor make their ZT.
Модели запуска
Первыми были запущены обе версии с двигателем V6 мощностью 160 и 190 л.с. Версия мощностью 160 л.с. использовала дефорсированный программно двигатель мощностью 177 л.с., как на Rover 75. Версия мощностью 190 л.с. использовала уникальную версию KV6 с другими распределительными валами, а также изменениями в системе впуска воздуха и дроссельной заслонке.
The first models launched were both V6 engined versions, the 160ps and the 190ps. The 160ps used a detuned by software, 177ps unit as found in the Rover 75. The 190ps used a unique version of the KV6 with different camshafts as well as air intake and throttle body changes.
Расширение ареала
В январе 2002 года следующей запущенной моделью стал 180 Auto. В этой модели использовался двигатель KV6 мощностью 177 л.с., но с измененными фазами газораспределения на 190 градусов и модифицированной дроссельной заслонкой на 190. Примерно в августе 2002 года были запущены дизельные модели с двигателем M47R мощностью 116 л.с. Клиенты могли приобрести обновление программного обеспечения Xpower, которое увеличивало мощность до 131 л.с. В июле 2003 года были выпущены модели 120, оснащенные 1,8-литровым двигателем K16. Примерно в то же время модели 160 начали использовать 1,8-литровую турбированную версию двигателя K16, а ослабленный V6 был снят с производства. Около октября 2003 года была выпущена долгожданная модель MG ZT 260 с двигателем V8.
In January 2002, the next model to be launched was the 180 Auto. This model used a 177PS KV6, but with 190 cam timing and 190 throttle modifications. Then in around August 2002, the diesel models were launched with a 116PS M47R unit. Customers could purchase a Xpower software upgrade, which would increase power to 131PS. In July 2003, the 120 models were launched; these were powered by the 1.8 litre K16 unit. At around the same time, the 160 models started to use the 1.8 litre turbocharged version of the K16 unit, and the detuned V6 was dropped. In around October 2003, the much awaited V8 powered MG ZT 260 model was launched.
Лифтинг лица
В течение первых нескольких месяцев 2004 года MG Rover обновил дизайн ZT и ZT T, сделав его менее ретро, одновременно с обновлением Rover 75. Обновление не включало значительных механических изменений ZT, большинство изменений были чисто эстетическими, и основное изменение заключалось в замене двойных фар на новые, прозрачные одинарные фары.
During the first few months of 2004, MG Rover facelifted the design of the ZT and ZT T to a less retro look, at the same time as the Rover 75 received a facelift. The facelift didn't feature much in the way mechanical differences to the ZT, most changes were merely aesthetic and the main changes to the facelift, included the replacement of the twin headlamps, with a new, clear single headlamp unit.
Двигатели
MG ZT (и Rover 75) оснащались комбинацией бензиновых и газовых двигателей MG Rover K Series и KV6, а также модульным двигателем Ford V8 и дизельным двигателем BMW M47. Последний получил обозначение M47R, чтобы идентифицировать его как специальную разработку MG Rover, модифицированную инженерами компании для поперечной установки, с характеристиками мощности и утонченности, уникальными для MG Rover. Дизельные модели MG ZT появились примерно в августе 2002 года. Дизельные MG ZT отличались от Rover 75 тем, что модели мощностью 116 л.с. и 131 л.с. обе обозначались как CDTi.
The MG ZT (and Rover 75 derivative) were powered by a combination of MG Rover's own petrol and LPG K Series and KV6 engines as well as Ford's Modular V8 and BMW's M47 diesel engine. The latter was designated M47R to identify the unit as an MG Rover special, having been modified by MG Rover's engineers for transverse installation, with performance and refinement characteristics unique to MG Rover. The diesel MG ZT models didn't arrive until around August 2002. The MG ZT diesel models differed from the Rover 75 as the lower power 116ps and the higher output 131ps models were both badged as CDTi.

The MG ZT (and Rover 75 derivative) were powered by a combination of MG Rover's own petrol and LPG K Series and KV6 engines as well as Ford's Modular V8 and BMW's M47 diesel engine. The latter was designated M47R to identify the unit as an MG Rover special, having been modified by MG Rover's engineers for transverse installation, with performance and refinement characteristics unique to MG Rover. The diesel MG ZT models didn't arrive until around August 2002.

Рекорд скорости на суше
Также в сентябре 2003 года MG ZT T стал самым быстрым в мире (не серийным) универсалом, достигнув максимальной скорости 225,609 миль в час (360,9 км/ч). Это произошло на 55-й ежегодной Bonneville Speed Week Nationals на Соляных равнинах штата Юта, в США. Автомобиль был оснащен двигателем Roush V8 мощностью более 800 л.с. и прошел значительные модификации.
Also in September 2003, the MG ZT T became the World's Fastest (non production) Estate Car, with a top speed of 225.609 mph (360.9 km/h). It achieved this at 55th annual Bonneville Speed Week Nationals, on the Salt Flats in Utah, United States. This car used an 800+bhp Roush V8 engine, with other heavy modifications.
XPower 385
XPower 385 ZT был серией концептов, разработанных MG Rover для демонстрации "высшей" версии 260 V8. 385 был оснащен 385-сильным 4-клапанным двигателем Ford Modular V8. Подобный двигатель, установленный в концепт-каре 385 и в "окончательной" версии ZT, впоследствии был применен в MG SV. Разработка автомобилей велась компанией Prodrive, однако они так и не были выпущены из-за закрытия MG Rover в апреле 2005 года. Автомобили отличались широким обвесом и задним спойлером.
The XPower 385 ZT, was a set of concepts created by MG Rover to show the "Ultimate" version of the 260 V8. The 385 was equipped with a 385PS 4 Valve Ford Modular V8. A similar engine that was fitted in the 385 concept car and the "ultimate" ZT was later fitted in the MG SV. The development of the cars was undertaken by Prodrive, but the cars never appeared as MG Rover closed in April 2005. The cars were fitted with a wide bodykit, and featured a spoiler on the rear of the car.
XPower 500
Перед выпуском ZT 260 компания MG создала специальный концепт-кар: MG XPower ZT 500. Этот автомобиль был задуман как демонстрация возможностей MG по работе с шасси ZT и никогда не планировался для массового производства. XPower ZT оснащен 500-сильным двигателем Ford Modular V8 объемом 4,6 литра с наддувом, аналогичным двигателю, установленному на 260 ZT. XPower 500 отличается более агрессивным широким обвесом и большим спойлером, похожим на XPower 385. Автомобиль был спасен клубом владельцев MG и восстановлен с использованием их обширных ресурсов и опыта. Автомобилю был присвоен VIN No 001.
Before the ZT 260 was launched, MG created a special concept car: the MG XPower ZT 500. This car was intended to show off what MG can do with the ZT's chassis, and was never intended for mass production. The XPower ZT is fitted with a 500PS supercharged 4.6 litre Ford Modular V8, similar the engine fitted to the 260 ZT. The XPower 500 has a more aggressive wide bodykit, with larger spoiler similar to the XPower 385. The car was saved by the MG Owners Club, and rebuilt using their extensive facilities and expertise. The car was allocated VIN No 001.
Автомобили для соревнований
Последним гоночным автомобилем, построенным MG Sports and Racing, стала гоночная версия V8 MG ZT260. Эта машина была значительно модифицирована и облегчена, имела большую мощность, чем стандартный V8, и оснащена легким гоночным обвесом. Сейчас автомобиль принадлежит австралийскому поклоннику MG, который успешно участвует с ним в соревнованиях. Он окрашен в темно-серый цвет.

Китайское производство
Nanjing Automobile из Китая приобрела MG Rover в июле 2005 года, спустя три месяца после объявления компании о банкротстве. Фактически производство MG ZT возобновилось в начале 2007 года, но под названием MG 7.
Nanjing Automobile of China purchased MG Rover in July 2005, three months after the company went bankrupt. Production of the MG ZT effectively resumed in the beginning of 2007, though in the form of the MG 7.
МГ7
MG 7 – спортивный седан, производимый китайской автомобильной компанией MG Motor, и созданный на базе MG ZT. Производство началось в марте 2007 года. Британский автомобильный журнал Auto Express высоко оценил MG 7 после тест-драйва в мае 2008 года, хотя официально он не продавался в Великобритании. MG 7 предлагается в двух вариантах: первый напоминает MG ZT Mark I с двойными передними фарами, а второй – Rover 75 V8 Mark II. Версия с удлиненной колесной базой, MG 7L, отличается более глубокой решеткой радиатора, как у Rover 75 V8.
The MG 7 is a sports saloon that is built by Chinese carmaker MG Motor, derived from the MG ZT. Production started in March 2007. The MG 7 received praise from British car magazine Auto Express, who test drove it in May 2008, although it has not officially been sold in the United Kingdom. The MG 7 comes in two variants, the first which resembles the Mark I MG ZT with twin front lights, and the second, which resembles the Mark II Rover 75 V8. A long wheelbase version, called the MG 7L, features the deeper radiator grille of the Rover 75 V8.
Roewe 750
Также выпущенный одновременно с MG 7, Roewe 750 был представлен компанией SAIC, которая впоследствии объединилась с Nanjing Automobile. Roewe 750 продемонстрировал результаты сотрудничества двух компаний, в то время как MG 7 сохранил классический облик Mark 1 ZT, а SAIC сделал ставку на дизайн экстерьера в стиле Rover 75 Mark 2.
Also released at the same time as the MG 7, the Roewe 750 appeared from the company SAIC, of which SAIC & Nanjing later merged. The Roewe 750 showed how the two companies worked, while the MG 7 retained the classic looks of the Mark 1 ZT, SAIC opted for the Mark 2 Style Rover 75 style exterior.
Клубы владельцев
Автомобили до сих пор активно поддерживаются клубом владельцев и группой энтузиастов, особенно для модели V8.
The cars are still actively supported by an owners club and an owners group specifically for the V8 model.
