Not a bad effort - would make a nice car with a petrol engine and a manual gearbox ??

Yes all it needs is making more complicated, less efficient, dirtier and significantly slower.

It'll be alright then.

but more involving and (probably) more fun (though I do appreciate that, these days, that is a dirty word to be used in conjuncture with motoring!)

Looks ok to me, it'll be worth about a fiver in a couple of years but you pays yer money.

I never thought I would say this but I could see myself in that. Who'd have thought the Chinese could make a desirable EV when the legacy European car makers can't?

Agreed. That looks bloody superb.

Ford should look at this and then what they've done to the Capri.

This looks fantastic.

If that's your priority then buy the original.

I actually prefer no noise now. TVR hasn't moved in ages.

The livery of that car was inspired apparently by the BMC Works MGC GTS "Mabel" (ironically Lightweights) that raced in 68/69. Who knows the weight of this, but MG have been showing off a Cyberster recently with a CF body.....
...
The white wheels look better than the other concept with the empty interior that just used the standard Cyberster wheels.

Hi MG social media people.

Are you one of the consortium?

[coopersonic]

Wow! Other than the roadster (which I like but find to look a bit uninspired) this really looks great IMHO!

Age catches up with us all eventually.

With age comes experience and wisdom.

Not to mention continual learning and for some acceptance that life moves on.

Be sad to be stuck in the same old rut, not embracing the future.

A lot of F-Type DNA in the exterior and interior.

And I know which looks better.

[Jon_S_Rally]

I think it looks great. The reviews of the convertible suggest that it's not the sharpest car to drive sadly, but hopefully they'll do a more focused version.

I have age and experience and who can judge wisdom save in hindsight?

Some believe life has moved on but in fact, it has simply moved.

Sometimes the rut is the best place to be, keeps you on the straight and narrow and doesn't require recharging.

You cannot embrace the future unless you already know the future.
EVs are a different form of propulsion but not necessarily "the future".

Remember that kit car that looked like a (really bad) knock-off Audi TT? Banham?

Well, from these photos, this appears to be the bad kit car knock-off of the F-Type.

It's weird how positive people are about Chinese cars on here - is there a Chinese bot-farm dedicated to spreading pro-Chinese propaganda on this poky little motoring site?

Personally, I think it looks gawky from the front and stupid at the rear - what the hell are those arrow lights supposed to be?

I've also heard you sit far too high in it because you're perched on top of the batteries.

You do have a bit of an obsession about Chinese products on this ‘poky little motoring site’
Strange why you hang around if you dislike it so much.
