About MG for Almost 90 Years MG Has Become Famous for Building D About MG For almost 90 years MG has become famous for building distinctive, British small cars at a remarkably affordable price. The latest offering, the MG3 is no exception; the new, small modern MG brings style and fun to a new generation- giving a fresh twist on the innovation, sporty performance and statement style that first made the MG badge famous. Modern MGs are designed, engineered and undergo final assembly at MG’s historic home in Longbridge, Birmingham. Today, MG is owned by the SAIC Motor Corporation, rated 103rd in the Fortune 500. Acquired in 2008, MG Motors and SMTC UK are both located to the 60 acre MG Longbridge site. SMTC UK is able to benefit from the close proximity and integration with its group manufacturing sister company, MG Motor UK after a multi- million pound investment in facilities and infrastructure at the site. Since the first MG went on sale in 1924, the historic marque have been driven to be different: More sports power, more British style, more luxurious finishes, more features as standard. More community feel; MG are proud of the huge ‘family’ of enthusiasts around the world. When driving an MG, you become part of something special. There are many MG owners and car clubs, both on and offline. More personal service: MG offer every MG6 and MG3 owner access to a Customer Delight programme, allowing them to enjoy exclusive MG discounts and big ticket giveaways. More sportiness: MG have put their passion for developing all things sport into supporting many sports initiatives, including local projects in Birmingham.

MG is characterised as being desirable yet affordable. It’s about fun and great driving dynamics. These historic features remain as true of the MG6 GT sports fastback as any of its iconic predecessors. The MG6 GT is a spacious five-seater with generous boot space and a high standard of specification.

MG racing heritage is imprinted in every part of the MG6. The responsive petrol and powerful diesel combine modern sporting style with superb handling and presence on the road. The front McPherson strut suspension and a multi-link rear set up, allow the MG6 to grip the road round corners and handle like a much smaller sporty car which belies its size. Low running costs, with particularly low insurance group ratings (13E for the S and 14E for the SE and TSE); mean that the MG6 GT is a practical five-seater family car as well as delivering a rewarding, involving drive.

    CHASSIS AND IMPACT ATTENUATOR DESIGN FOR FORMULA STUDENT RACE CAR MECH 5825M Professional Project Chassis and Impact Attenuator design for Formula student Race car Ahmed Oshinibosi Project Supervisor: Prof. D.C Barton 30th August 2012 AKNOWLEGDEMENT Firstly, I would like to appreciate the effort of my supervisor, Professor David Barton who is the head of school of mechanical engineering for his invaluable contribution towards the successful completion of this project. Secondly, I am indebted to my employer, Tallent Automotive Limited who did not only provide financial assistance to me in order to pursue this postgraduate Master’s degree, but also gave me the permission to utilise the company’s software packages to carry out this project. I also want to use this opportunity to thank the faculty of engineering for awarding me the International Excellence scholarship which also contributed towards my tuition fees. ABSTRACT Generally, in the automotive industry, weight reduction, cost of engineering design and reduction in vehicle development cycle time are becoming increasingly focused on. In order to tackle this, Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) is popularly being used to lead design process. This is more efficient than just using CAE as a verification tool. In the design of the F15 chassis, suitable Finite Element Analysis (FEA) optimisation techniques have been adopted from the early design stage. The design problem in view of weight reduction and increasing torsional stiffness has been solved by means of topology optimisation and also by applying gauge optimisation at the later stage of the design phase to optimise the size of structural members of the chassis.
