It's the Beijing Motorshow at the moment, Keith Adams wrote this up, good one for anyone wanting MG to have more attitude:

Although the spotlight was firmly on the Icon in Beijing, the show also saw the launch of MG’s BTCC special editions, as well as the ‘RedLine’ series of modifications, intended to strengthen the marque’s sporting identity. MG, which is still a very young company in China is pushing hard to bolster its youthful image.

The BTCC editions, designed to capitalise on the current touring car championship, feature bold graphics with contrasting stripes and large MG logos. A more aggressive front bumper, and side skirts also suitably beef-up the exterior styling. RedLine is an additional package, which introduces red interior features (including seatbelts!) and stripes.

The striking looking special editions, which are available across the 3, 5, and 6 ranges were designed in the UK. We also managed to get a close look at the MG3 and MG5 for the first time, and both models – which were styled in the UK – look very good indeed.
