The Cyberster is unbelievably gorgeous, dare i say, it's better looking than Z4, Boxster, or SLK. Still, imagine a true light roadster version, rwd, no power scissor doors, no power soft top, make it as light and as agile as possible.
6:12 Everything else has already been said about this car so let me compliment something small, I really really appreciate how simple the soft top mechanism is. A lot of modern soft tops have way too many different flaps that move in all sorts of directions with really complicated and fragile hinges, hydraulics etc. The single pair of flaps this has that hide the mechanism move in one direction, and it still looks elegant.
I very much appreciate the way they designed the interior. Instead of just putting an oversized TV screen in the middle, they carefully integrated the screen(s) with an actual driver oriented dashboard. I wish more manufacturers do the same.
It seems like that your quality of each videos you publish improves over time. Now it has more fascinating scene and more professional filming and editing. Great job!!
Well yeah, it's silly to imply some heritage going back to the old MGs. It's a different company that bought the MG brand name for marketing to the west. I have to laugh at his 6:17 intonation that this is not a retro design. No kidding. I bet it doesn't have carburetors either. I doubt there's a single item - again other than the nameplate - that's somehow been brought along all these years. Nothing wrong with that, that's marketing and otherwise it might be a fine car, just that old MG is not "back," it's dead and gone.
GORGEOUS. I can't wait for it to come to Europe. I've owned multiple EVs and roadsters and have been waiting for a ev roadster for a while.. I do think they made this car with the wrong ideea in mind. Roasters are usually driven very rarely and for short trips, they should have made it with a sub 50kw battery and even 250hp would've been sufficient.
How about something not quite like the hilarious Wuling MINI EV soft top. But something based on an A segment EV like a theoretical MG1, MG2 or 3 and just make an EV equivalent of a MGB or a Midget. Something not to just compete with Mazda's crown, but subverse that into Renault Wind, Citroen C3 Pluriel or Daihatsu Copen territory. These kinds of smaller, lighter, more accessible but crucially driver orientated cars can compliment the market demand for roadsters, and the demand for less impactful electric cars. Cyclecars/light quadricycles being the bottom floor before a moped or ebike, heavy quadricycles being up to 450kg. Who wouldn't want to see fun, cheap n cheerful sub-1100kg EVs? They're possible now. And damn anyone who would like to laugh at a "Noddy car" like the Citroën 2CV
@@Twin.motors MG is thinking on a competition level, if they keep bringing in such vehicles, Lambos and Ferraris are going to lose market shares for sure, atleast outside of Italy and Middle East where they have a stronghold.
I can’t imagine anything better than a convertible EV, I mean who wants to sit out in the air listening to a rattly Diesel engine (I’m looking at you Audi), breathing toxic fumes from your engine & everyone else queuing in traffic. A literal breath of fresh air. Well done China!!
Clearly, you’ve never driven a high-performance convertible. Try an Audi R8 Spyder. The sound of the V10 is half the enjoyment. It’s literally the only downside to our EV future of sports cars. Over the years, a Lexus SC 430 Convertible, Nissan 350Z Roadster, BMW M4 Cabriolet, and now an Audi R8 Spyder. All in Southern California and with the top down on most days unless it rains or it’s too hot (both rarely happen around here). With regard to health, unless you’re parked with the engine on, you’re not inhaling your own exhaust, top down or up. We all get plenty of pollution from all the cars and trucks around us (even with our windows closed).
@@AMFlight815this is true Engine noise can 100% add to an experience when your in the mood and actual revving it out. But being honest that's maybe for 10% of all driving. The rest of the time you're just listening to it groaning away and personally for general driving the quiet and smoothness of an EV wins everytime. Now if we talk about more attainable convertibles that have 4 pot or even diesel engines, the sound is crap and an EV wins hands down
@@Stewiedude1 Did you read my comment?! Are you trying to rewrite my own real-life experiences over the past 2 decades?! 🤦🏻♂️ I don’t put the top down daily to be annoyed. My R8 also has different drive modes that adjust the exhaust. I can and often do drive down the street, top down, windows up and have phone conversations with no problem. Imagining/assuming something vs having actual experience is often times very different.
Might sound strange but MG has been selling in Costa Rica since 2013. Here’s the list of models my wife & I have owned since then: 550 1.8T year 2013, GS 2.0T year 2016, HS 2.0T year 2020, RX8 2.0T year 2023 and MG ONE 1.5T year 2024. Totally hooked with the brand. Quality parts and ‘Japanese like’ reliable electronics. I am not EV oriented person but with this Cybersteer might be an exception!
Very nice car, the interior resembles the new Corvette design. The doors give it a unique character, that differentiates it from other cars. I don't care for the CYBER, but the ster, from the Boxster can stay. Seems they were inspired by other 2 door roadsters.
Gotta say, they hit it out of the park... Sure it's not nimble or light, but hot damn does that thing look good for a first time EV roaster, they sat a damn high bar for EV roadsters.
I've been wondering for awhile why no one has copied the formula of the original Tesla roadster, but without the crazy price tag of the original Roadster... This seems like such an obvious formula.
Mazda Miata weighs 2400lbs. That's what gives it its agility. It's difficult to mimic that feeling when trying to hide 2 tonnes. This is the metric that EVs really need to R&D: lightness. It'll greatly improve efficiency, range, engagement, and feel. Not to mention the lifespan of its consumables like brakes and tires.
The fake engine noise can be fixed very easily . They can just get a copy close to that of Lambo or Farrari instead of the sissy noise that they have installed currently.
Spotted a Cyberster (not a fan of the name) here in Yunnan today. Looked great from the side. Are you in Hainan? I've only been there once, which was enough, and it looked a bit like it.
Looks fantastic, love the doors, but not sure how practical they are, not sure they would fit in my garage. All theoretical as I will never own one, but loved my MGB roadster.
That footage you’re referring to came from MG, and for technical reasons, we couldn’t color correct it the way we do with our own footage. That’s why it sticks out vs the other footage we shot ourselves.
This will be like 15-20k max for used 3-5 year old dual motor version with reasonable mileage... Since it has virtually no storage, low miles are guaranteed... Is it an LFP battery? EPA rating?
Now that sexy little thang gives me such hope for 2dr sporty lighter weight evs! 👍🏻😎 Along with the apex ap0, piech mark zero, upcoming boxter&cayman evs, the 2dr lotus emira ev replacement and the mr2 ev. 😁
Have you any definitive dates for China deliveries? If global deliveries are estimated to be end Q2 early Q3 I would expect China deliveries to be end Q1? What does MG communicate recently for China?
The drone footage was shot at a newly built tourism road near Wanning City, Hainan Island. The road is not open yet and due to open at the end of this year. That's why you don't see traffic on the road.
MGC was initially trademarked in Europe (I guess ignoring the quite niche previous MGC) but it appears MG Europe has decided to commit to the Cyberster name. I guess their logic is - like the equally stupidly named Boxster - people will quickly get used to the name.
EXTREMNE SIMPLICITY is the traditional hallmark of a CLASSIC MG! This misses the point by a country mile! If it were 20% smaller, physically, HALF the weight, and cut HALF the "bells and whistles" to focus on CHEAP 2 seat motoring, with absolutely NO DISTRACTIONS from the road surface in front of you, or the person of choice in the passenger seat, then maybe the "spirit" of the classic brand could be replicated? MY idea was to go down the Japanese "Kei Car" route, and bring back the "Spridget" sized car, using ultra low emissions 660cc 3 cylinder ICE, with a 6 speed MANUAL transmission, and minimal electrical accessories! (radio, for traffic reports and music, with potential for bluetooth connection to your personal music collection?) Even Sat-Nav would be an optional, (though I'd not recommend it!) as getting "lost" on a drive used to be the biggest part of the automotive adventure! Read a road atlas, or take your smart-phone! Ultimately, MG cars are famous for being LIGHT, responsive, basic and affordable cars for the young, or the young at heart! This segment COULD be the future of personal transportation, as more than 90% of ALL journeys made by car, are made with 1 or 2 occupants! ....so why not make it FUN?

the solution to tight parking spaces is DON'T USE THEM! Lobby for LARGER parking spaces to accommodate today's larger cars!
