The MG Q-type (sometimes referred to as the QA) was a racing car produced by the MG Car company in 1934. The chassis was based on the one used on the MG K3 but was narrower and used N-type axles. The engine used the cylinder block from the P-type but with a special crankshaft to bring the capacity down to 746 cc by reducing the stroke from 83 mm (3.3 in) to 71 mm (2.8 in).

  • Der MG Q-Type oder MG QA war ein Rennwagen, den MG 1934 herstellte. Das Fahrwerk beruhte auf dem des K3 Magnette, war aber schmäler und hatte die Achsen des NA/NE Magnette. Der Motor hatte des Block des PA/PB Midget, aber eine andere Kurbelwelle für einen Hubraum von 746 cm³, wobei der Hub von 83 mm auf 71 mm reduziert wurde. Es gab auch eine Sprint-Version, deren Leistung 146 bhp (107 kW) erreichte, was einer spezifischen Leistung von nahezu 200 PS/ltr. entsprach. Dies war damals die höchste spezifische Leistung eines Motors auf der ganzen Welt. Vermutlich wurden nur acht Exemplare gefertigt (Sedgewick spricht von neun), denn die Wagen waren mit 550-650 £ sehr teuer und die Starrachsen hatten Schwierigkeiten, mit der Motorkraft fertig zu werden. Die einsitzige Version erreichte mit George Harvey-Noble als Fahrer eine Rundengeschwindigkeit von 195 km/h in Brooklands, der Zweisitzer immerhin noch 192 km/h.

The engine used the cylinder block from the P-type but with a special crankshaft to bring the capacity down to 746 cc by reducing the stroke from 83 mm (3.3 in) to 71 mm (2.8 in). A high-pressure Zoller supercharger was fitted giving a boost to 2.5 atmospheres (1.8kg/cc) and allowing the engine to produce 113 bhp (84 kW) at 7200 rpm.. A sprint version was also made with output increased to 146 bhp (109 kW) which at nearly 200 bhp (150 kW) per litre was the highest specific output of any engine in the world at the time Probably only eight were made (Michael Sedgwick states nine) as the car was expensive at £550–650, and the rigid axle chassis had difficulty in dealing with the power of the engine. The single-seat version achieved a lap speed of 122 mph (196 km/h) at Brooklands race track driven by George Harvey-Noble, and the two-seater was capable of 120 mph (190 km/h).
