  1. Skateboard setup (MG) puts the weight in the middle of the car stretching to all 4 wheels. The Rimac set up as a mid engine format. MR type. M5 has a traditional front engine over the front axle set up. Or in some cases the engine is as far back as allowed being slightly behind the front axle. Pros and cons to each. With rear and AWD torque vectoring and rear wheel steering could fix the weight penalty that comes with EV. The top spec compared with a Jaguar V8 weight is matched but say 536hp in the MG vs V8 Jaguar 2023 power is 86hp more on MG, weight is 1700kg on jag vs 1900kg on the MG but Torque is much higher on the MG. Could be as high as 600 -700 ft lbs. Definitely interested to see how much itll weigh and the spec sheet lol...
  2. Hope these sponsors are paying good! Should have come to London
  3. Yeah, cant beat the seating position and other pros. I too am looking forward to trying other cars. People wax lyrical about GTR being the next step. Really I think after Z you want either something with a v8 or v10 etc or something more sporty, agile, lightweight. Thats why im considering the Cayman. GTR ill definitely check out but im not a fan of heavy and large cars. Theres a few GTR in my area even a Nismo GTR. Sort of feel theyre old news nowadays lol. Always be a fan seems like a good rental.
  4. Xiaomi getting in on the act 😂. 1300kg and 400hp. $41,000
  5. https://forum.mx5oc.co.uk/t/mg-cyberster-roadster-very-speculative/133577 £40,000 and now talk of 3 trims. Theyve been testing in China. Yoke steering wheel is a bit of a gimmick.. Spy shots look interesting. Apparently came about as a result of some crowdfunding and online interest.
  6. These suit subscription model mainly. Pay a fee per month and maintain it through dealer. Thats the future for new cars. They cost too much nowadays over £50,000 to make financial sense......To own you need to either rent a battery should the original go. That's usually 7-8 years in. Can also rent a battery from dealers.
  7. Something like this There will be UK sellers. Plus you keep your steering wheel controls. Once fitted you can do all the things mentioned.
  8. you need one of those fancy made for replacement like for like screens. Not cheap though
  9. https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/articles/road-cars/new-mg-with-911-turbo-power-is-time-right-for-electric-sports-cars/ I cant see the top spec being less than £70,000 Should be available in UK, China, Australia and New Zealand. Rear wheel drive and All wheel drive. Will Weigh from 1800kg, but sub 4 seconds acceleration. 309 rear wheel and 536 hp all wheel variants Wont be sold on US apparently
  10. Wow 😳 Playing on the last of the enthusiasts theme.
  11. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202304076057113 Lol
  12. With a lot more equipment too. Can squeeze a newer Mustang, Alpine, 718, 981 GTS, Older GTR, M2 Comp etc. 45k is also a nice wide loft conversion with luxuries 🤣
  13. High spec Cayman S in Malaysia. The car would have cost around £110,000 over there. Lucky are we living in the UK.
  14. True McClaren F1 successor unofficially.
  15. T50 ....Not a pic but still. Manual V12 12,000 RPM madness
  16. Not suprised. If you have £45k theres a lot that can be had. The last ones were 2020. Brand new they were £38k.....before the announcement of production end.
  17. A German hiding in our midst. 👀.. Get him!!
  18. Looks like their old Japan only people carrier. Lexus X grill knows no limits. If it was a performance car id understand but still
  19. £35,999. Ofcourse I wish I had got an allocation id probably be hesitant to flip it just yet lol
  20. Let me guess........."Road Tax" I had a 17 Nismo in summer 2017 bought 3 months old for £26,000. Guess how much they are today....If you wana pay £26,000 for a 67 to save £450 on VED on a 2009 car go ahead! Its the same car. Also the tax back then was £575
