Cyberster - what we know so far

They dug up a Chinese MGTF from somewhere

I get "access was denied"; it seems that even the image is pay-walled.

Saw the MG TF then browsed the other parts of the site. People are not necessarily happy with the tail lights. I still think it should be changed to single multifunctional halos.

looks like people are already looking for second hand Cybersters... "Some cheeky comments about don't buy it. I don't want everyone to have it". One guy talking about he ordered the wrong colour and want Silver instead of red. So wants to sell. Another guy mentioned wrapping the car. Criticisms of the door and tail design. People are trying to get hold of the beige interior...

It seems UK may not get an early summer release after all. Reports suggest August 2024. Much like China we will get the car during the off season towards end of next year.

Also seems that the pre release pre order cars are the ones being driven by general public in China. Yellow, Silver and Red.

The general release is in a few months

Door doing what it was made for, cutting it fine

Cyberster Door in tight Spot

Although multi-storey car parks often have rather low ceilings.

I'm surprised the door sensor allowed it to get that close to the wall. There's a sensor near the end of the door and on the frame that can prevent contact with a ceiling. Maybe. I cant remember as the demo cars door was up in the air most of the evening. Only managed to shut the passenger door once....

"Who was the smart person who designed the taillights [ahl_Wangchai]? Didn’t anyone in the entire company raise objections?". Lol I don't think anyone objected. Bold engineering it will certainly turn heads without a doubt. People still want normal doors.

Hopefully youll get your demo cars from April/May.

No news on that yet. I suspect it may still be June before we get ours. There are some changes we need to make to our showroom first, to accommodate the "Cyberster Area"

Any suggestions passed on to SAIC for European market model?

Any suggestions passed on to SAIC for European market model?

What sort of suggestions?

 

[GranTurismoEra]

Some points to bring up on the next pod maybe.

• Heat Pump
• Possibly adding "airscarf" for the european market
• Air Conditioned seats (hot/cold)
• Self Park (forward/reverse from/into space) with key
• Self parallel park
• Heated steering wheel
• manual opening doors in event of no power (seems possible already)
• Different interior/exterior colours post launch for UK (only seen redand beige/black)
• UK Market should get more colour and wheel options for the money
• Electronic dampening option on AWD trim

From what I know, we'll get 2 drivetrain options, RWD and AWD. The RWD will have 19" alloys, the AWD will have 20" alloys (and obviously lots more power).
There will be 5 different exterior colours at launch.
There will be a choice of two hood colours (red or black).
There will be a choice of two interior colours (red or light grey).

All models have self-parking via keyfob.

Thanks for the info!

I think I've seen every single colour except Metallic White or Pearl White. It was a cream off white and another light green/crayon colour

Apparently, yellow is popular in China.

A clip- on hardtop would be useful in more inclement weather!!

At least one exists. Buts its a mystery who is exactly behind this "racing" Cyberster.

Unlikely, more likely to be some sort of fast emergency disconnect for the high voltage system.

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but the Cyberster is now available to drive in the game "Forza Horizon 5"
