Welcome the LE60 and Bee GT, MG Bs like you've never known them before...
MG B restomods. They were driven by PH way back, with glowing reviews: ‘huge character, true discerning exclusivity and enormous sense of fun’ was the LE50 verdict. Hopes are high, then, for the latest from Frontline . One is the LE60, its first V8 build in more than 30 years of existence, and the other is the Bee - an electric MG B. With a manual gearbox…
Performance ought to be more than ample. The LE60 produces 380hp and 297lb ft, enough for 0-60mph in something like four seconds and 170mph thanks to a kerbweight of 1,122kg. Power reaches the road via a new five-speed manual that combines both Tremec and Frontline hardware. That’s just the start of the reengineering, too.
If anything, the green car here is probably even more significant for Frontline and the genre of reimagined classics. It’s battery powered, and known as the BEE and BEE GT Coupe, which stands for MG B EV Edition. Both employ a Hyper9 100v motor than can rev to 9,000rpm and a 40kWh battery, which is nothing out of the ordinary for an EV. What’s different for the Frontline car is the inclusion of a manual gearbox and the ability to rev like a combustion engine.
