My Week In Cars: Episode 37 – MG Cyberster and Bentley’s W12
In the latest episode of My Week In Cars, Steve Cropley and Matt Prior discuss the latest news and trends in the automotive industry. They start by questioning whether we have reached Peak Car, a term used to describe the point at which the demand for cars starts to decline. Despite the rise of electric vehicles and the increasing popularity of ride-sharing services, Steve and Matt believe that there is still a strong demand for cars, especially among enthusiasts.
The duo then move on to talk about MG’s Cyberster, a new electric sports car concept that has been making waves in the automotive world. While some enthusiasts are excited about the prospect of a new MG sports car, others are skeptical about the brand’s ability to deliver a high-performance vehicle. Steve and Matt discuss the reactions of MG sports car owners to the Cyberster and whether it has the potential to revive the brand’s reputation.
Next up, Steve and Matt celebrate (sort of) the 50th anniversary of the Austin Allegro, a car that was widely criticized for its unconventional styling and poor build quality. While the Allegro may not have been a commercial success, it has become a cult classic among some enthusiasts who appreciate its quirky design and unique features.
The duo then turn their attention to the technical masterpiece that is the Bentley W12 engine. This 6.0-liter, 12-cylinder engine is one of the most powerful and efficient engines on the market, delivering up to 626 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque. Steve and Matt discuss the engineering behind this impressive engine and why it has become such a popular choice among luxury car manufacturers.
Throughout the episode, Steve and Matt also answer listener questions and respond to feedback from previous episodes. They cover a wide range of topics, from electric vehicle charging infrastructure to the future of autonomous driving technology.
