You'd think that the fastest estate car in the world would be something like an Audi RS6 or a BMW M5 Touring. But it's actually a 20-year-old MG Rover! Mike Fernie investigates the brutal MG ZT-T Bonneville, with its NASCAR V8 spinning up to 9,500rpm, 800bhp and achieving a top speed of 225mph!

The fastest wagon is any borrowed wagon from your parents about 3 minutes before curfew

Narrow tyres are what you want for top speed runs. The wheel covers are Moon Discs. Not permitted in drag racing, in case they come off, and slice & dice the spectators.

MG Rover spent a fortune on the record but then told nobody! We had a ZT-T responder vehicle it was fast but burned through the tyres every couple of months.

I love Mike sharing his love for MG. Such an underrated and over slated car brand.

"800hp MG that Jeremy Clarkson once LOOKED AT!!"

[thebigwrench]

Steve morris and his 4500+ hp wagon has tripped the beams in the quarter at 229. He is currently getting very close to 5 second quarter mile time's. Steve is a world class engine builder and is even responsible for creating the monster 5000+hp V16 quad turbo that was built for the Devel 16. I know you are referring to a salt flat car but imagine what could happen in a half mile. Let alone on a 2.5 mile or a 9 mile run as that is what Bonneville used to be

Bonneville record chasers are an interesting bunch. The categories are divided and subdivided down so much that 1000 cars would show up for 100 different classes. Fuel type, engine type, induction type, displacement, chassis type, body type, it goes on and on.

And then on top of that you set these things up to run on the salt which is a whole different world than the tacked up drag strips.

Genuinely though, when a manufacturer shows up with a blank check and a goal, so often we get blessed in a way we could have never dreamed.

See this car at the gaydon British motor museum proper monster great video guys

The best ever interview thank you GO MG

[SternLX]

The early 2000's ZT-T's are just begging to be upgraded with a Ford Coyote 5.0L engine. They'd drop right in.

"We're not exactly setting the world alight with speed records lately"

The Ultima GTR holds a long list of road car world records. That's not British, then? Why do people not talk about that thing? It's an absolute beast.

[trance]

It's not a street car FFS... You might as well say the Blue Flame is one of the fastest cars ever

[YUSH]

Mike and MG are an inseparable yet cute couple at this point! 😅😂❤

[gillie-monger]

When you revved that MG to 6k - a little bit of wee came out. What a noise! Glorious.

[NyckLP]

The fact the engine is a Frankenstein'ed V8 with NASCAR and LMP1 engine parts in the same engine is mind boggling to me. I can't believe any other engine in the world has this differently-aimed use parts in the same block. That's awesome!

[interceptor-sskb]

Really it should be in a museum as its not a road car but a car with a Really cool story.

[lukedanielgalon]

I actually known about this thanks to HSG Automotive in the series called Unsung heroes although I’m glad seeing it again

[Karl-memh]

I am pretty sure some of the german estate cars, that were tuned for drag racing could beat it with the righ transmission range tbh. It's just that nobody really tries.

[racing]

Being from Australia I think it might be a HSV version of a Commodore I remember having my WRX topped out and having one go past me significantly faster.

[Tjescoo]

How do you even dare to act like MG is still British?
