EXE181: MG’s Concept Electric Hypercar

For starters, Beijing will have the 2024 Auto China show, which will be for three days from April 25th to April 27th. An array of attention-grabbing concept vehicles will be showcased by several automobile manufacturers at the Auto China show. 

The MG EXE181 electric hypercar has a centrally positioned single-seat (like F1 cars) with a monocoque chassis.

With a teardrop shape, this electric hypercar has an impressive drag coefficient, rated at 0.181, which is extremely aerodynamic. Interestingly, the creation of the MG EXE181 is not something new. It is heavily inspired by MG’s concept vehicle, which was created in the 1950s. The original concept was called the MG EX181.

Comparatively, some vehicles have had better drag coefficient figures. For instance, the 2022 Mercedes Vision EQXX has a drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.18, while the 2000 General Motors Precept and 1954 Fiat Turbina have a Cd rate of 0.16 and 01.4, respectively. 

MG Motors, British by origin, is now owned by a Chinese automotive company, SAIC Motor stated that the MG EXE181 is one of the most aerodynamic and quickest cars in the world. Additionally, the brand claims that this electric hypercar can achieve 0-100km/h (62mph) in just 1.9 seconds. The detailed specifications are yet to be declared but several reports suggest that the MG EXE181 will most likely pump out at least 1000bhp.

As for production, it is extremely unlikely that this concept electric hypercar will enter the production phase. But if the carmaker plans to create a production vehicle, they may create a one-off vehicle of the EXE181 concept. 

Finally, the rest of the details of the MG EXE181 will, however, be out at the Auto China 2024 event.
