V12 Aston Martin vs MG Cyberster drag race: Can 12 cylinders topple China's fastest convertible?

Uploaded 6 months ago by CarExpert

Video Summary

Here's a summary of the video:

The MG Cybersrter is the fastest car MG sells; it is a convertible and all-electric. The Aston Martin V12 Vantage convertible has a twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 engine, producing 515 kW of power and 753 Nm of torque. The MG Cybersrter has almost the same torque, around 700 Nm.

The Aston Martin V12 Vantage convertible is rear-wheel drive, while the MG Cybersrter is all-wheel drive, meaning the Aston Martin’s launch is tricky. After two attempts, the MG Cybersrter still destroys the Aston Martin at the quarter-mile mark, even with launch control working. Next, both put their roofs down, and although the reviewer isn’t sure, the judges determined that the MG Cybersrter still won with a close margin. The V12 engine, however, sounds magnificent down the quarter mile. It is revealed that the MG Cybersrter shares its roof with the BMW Z4 convertible. The reviewer feels that the V12 engine on the Aston Martin seems like a gimmick. Ultimately, it is stated that to win, traction is key.
