EXE181

A striking concept car that channels the audacious spirit of MG’s land speed legacy into a future-facing design.

The concept takes clear inspiration from the record-setting 1957 EX181, a streamlined rocket of its time driven by Stirling Moss and later Phil Hill.

This new vision echoes its aerodynamic philosophy, boasting a drag coefficient of just 0.181 Cd, a number that nods to both the name and the performance focus of the vehicle.

Created by the MG design team at SAIC Design Advanced London, the concept celebrates the brand’s 100th anniversary with bold aesthetics and innovative thinking.
