    Cyberpunk Thread (because why not?)

    What kind of stuff would you guys want to add to a Mirage to give it that Cyberpunk style? And what style do you think would suit each model best, Entropism, Kitsch, Neo-Militarism, or Neo-Kitsch?

    I think it would be cool to place a few solar panels on the top and run cables inside to charge a separate docked battery, running some tech inside like a Pi computer or a phone stand with active cooling. Maybe even fit a little mounted turbine to the passenger side roof to charge the system while driving.

    Personally I like the Entropism style but I think the cars swing more naturally to the Kitsch style

    LMAO! It's a videogame, and I only know that because I have a 15 y/o! And I'll bite, OP: I think the hatch lends itself to Entropism.

    Yea, its a popular video game set in a dystopian capitalist setting! It was adapted from a table top game originally released in 1988, now there is the newer versions of the tabletop game, a very popular video game, and a hit anime adaptation.

    I think the car designs in the game and show are super cool which is why I made this thread!

    Here is a real-world example of the style, the Hyundai N Vision 74 concept car. (Its a hydrogen cell and Electric hybrid car)

    Brother if you want the baby boomers on here to understand Cyber Punk, you need to say it in 1980s language. So instead say you're going for a "Blade Runner" aesthetic with your vehicle. That's the Harrison Ford movie/Philip K. Dick novel that kicked off the whole genre.

    Just don't add any freaky neon lights to your Mirage if you don't want to deal with electrical gremlins from hell. A bad brake light can trigger the CEL in these cars.
