Also age can play a part I believe.lol

Age is a problem, got rid of my Boxer as getting hard to climb out of it, I like the look but not red.

I have been at the MotorExpo in Bangkok this week and saw the Cyberster live. I took a lot of pictures and will post some here.
It looks absolute great. Quality exterior and interior is phantastic. I was really impressed. Inside all nice material, nowhere plastic like in European cars. I have to admit that the velour on seats was a bit stressed from the constant viewing by people going in and out. Not hundreds, I am talking about thousands.
If the automatic roof is still working after the exhibition than it would be extreme good quality. Constantly openend and closed all day long as everybody viewing the car, including me, wants to try it of course.
The trunk heavy and solid sound when closing. Boot is with lining inside, even there is no engine. Normaly that is done for sound proof. Long story short. It has nothing to do with the normal MGs we know.
To put my comments in perspective. I am German and drive a BMW 330e in the moment here in Thailand.
MG Thailand has around 1000 reservation for the Cyberster on hand!!
Cool reservation system. You pay around USD 250 reservation fee. In June 2024 they will release the final price. Than you have 30 days to back out and get back your reservation.
If you stay in, your car will be delivered 4 weeks later with a discount of 1000 USD. That is an incentive for the reservation you did. Good for them as they know pretty much what they will sell.
Downside, also here the price will be not as cheap as in China. USD 70K plus minus, depending on the model you select. That is still half price of the BMW Z4 40i, which is the only comparable model here in Thailand. Not by image though and not by re-sell value I guess.
Tried to figure out what A/C on-board charger will be built in. The product manager told me he does not know but he believes a stronger one than the other MGs. I hope for at least 11 kwh. Did anyone of you hear anything firm?
Hope you find this information helpful.

Over on X, Elliot from Everything Electric/Fully Charged says he has one for a few days.
I expect a review of it to appear on their youtube before Xmas

Nice to see it's in production.

Is there any word of rough specs yet, such as dimensions, weight, power of the RWD model?

 

[GranTurismoEra]

About 1850kg for the RWD and 340hp has been mentioned. 5 seconds acceleration. Dimensions are similar to. F Type Jaguar and very low. There is more space in the cabin for people who are over 6 feet than the F type.


Dimensions (mm) 4535*1913*1329
Wheelbase (mm) 2690

If the automatic roof is still working after the exhibition than it would be extreme good quality. Constantly openend and closed all day long as everybody viewing the car, including me, wants to try it of course.

These kinds of roofs are normally stress-tested in the design process for thousands of opening and closing cycles.

The more important thing normally is how easy they are to repair and service when something does go wrong with the roof. That's what dictates the long-term experience.

Some makers have made them almost impossible to repair economically, others have thought-through how to make all parts easily serviceable.

Looks very nice wonder what the price will be ?

 

[GranTurismoEra]

45 to 60k. Thats why i might just get an F Type V8 R instead. Theyre in the 30s now

 

[ozzz]

Stay green , sold my Boxster, happy with The 4 but should have got the x power.
got to get back to Sydney Fc v Melbourne.

 

[GranTurismoEra]

I could buy the F type drive it 4 years and it still wont cost what the Cyberster AWD will cost lol

For a reason. Older F-types especially have an issue with subframe corrosion. Also, Jaguar is not very good parts support for older models, deleting parts without warning. I'm now struggling for some critical parts for a V8 X350. For instance, the thermostat housing on the AJV8 is plastic. At about 120k miles it will crack. Jaguar have now dropped the part, leaving garages to try and epoxy it back together.

Sure it's not a rebadged Ford part?

What year is that car?

 

[Brusque]

A dirty looking RHD Cyberster. And disguised MG3 for good measure

What year is that car?

2005. In contrast, everything for my 1996 MX5 is available.
