FIRST DRIVE: MG Cyberster - 335bhp, £50k, RWD and Scissor Doors!

Uploaded 1 year ago by Top Gear

Video Summary

Here is the summary of the YouTube video:
- The MG Cyberster is a pure electric two-seat sports car, arriving before the Polestar 6 and Porsche's electric Boxster.
- The car will be much cheaper than those.
- A 64-kilowatt-hour or a 77-kilowatt-hour battery pack will give a 250–300 mile range, depending on the spec.
- The MG Cyberster will be available in two and four-wheel drive, and the base model should start at around 50,000 pounds in the UK.
- There are many design influences, like Alpine, Porsche, and Jaguar. Everyone finds the car familiar, but slightly different.
- The car is quite long, bigger than expected with 19-inch wheels.
- The rear features massive arrows, which are a little over the top.
- Electric scissor doors are a theatrical addition to the car.
- The interior has a large wrap-around screen in front of you, which is actually three different displays. This can make it feel a bit more computer gaming. The graphics are really good.
- The steering has two paddles, one controls the driving modes, and one controls the regenerative braking.
- The electric-only powertrain is well put together with no panel gaps, but may feel a bit cheap because of the red coloring, that may be better in black leather.
- The ride is similar to a GT car, rather than an all-out sports car.
- The car has a numb steering, with plenty of grip and body control. There is more of a front-end dive when you break. It’s a pretty quick drive with great usability. The MG Cyberster is unique and a unique, fun, and interesting electrical car.
- This MG Cyberster isn't really a sports car, and the car can handle very well despite its weight.
