I quite like them too, they fit the theme. They look better than most Eurofighter cars.
EDIT:- I've noticed some metal framework underneath the wing seats that aren't present on lost gravity that kind of looks like a footrest. Any idea what it could be for?

Good spot @CrashCoaster - an interesting addition to the cars. Can't really see any infallible reason why they'd be there, but could hazard a guess that they're to stop guests feet being able to go too far backwards (thinking like those bars under airplane seats). Can't see why they'd be required though, as what would be the risk if they did?
EDIT: Only other thought (which came to me as I hit submit) - could they be for an additional, yet to be attached, bit of decoration? Don't look like they've got any fastening points though...

I think it is to make it easier to jump in your seat. If you ride Lost Gravity on the wingseat you have to jump quite high to get in your seat, as the floor isn't moving upwards

The cars are growing on me. I'd like to see a better testing video soon though, and some good offride shots.
I do think the added steel on the cars could be for making the boarding process easier, and also to stop your feet from reaching the people's feet behind if they stretch their legs far enough, rather than an added piece of theming. Although I haven't ridden Lost Gravity, so I am unsure as to how the trains feel onride, and the boarding process.

Time will tell for sure.
Here is better quality POV, although the mounting isn't great:-

New massive update from the ride's website:-
Photos are in no particular order, and taken from different times. And yes, I am aware a few have already been posted earlier in the thread.

@Lofty - how does the model in the back of this one take your fancy?14.

I feel like Dynamite will be the sleeper hit of 2019. At least on English-based forums like this, it's not receiving too much hype - I think that Dynamite's tight transitions, punchy elements and intense-looking maneuvers will make for a thrilling coaster!

Ugh. I’ve been in that situation — just a little too early to experience a new ride.
But I’ll be at Plohn on July 25, so I’m excited!

Visited the park yesterday.
Still some work going on, with new fencing going round the perimeter of the ride. Almost feels like TUV said that fences the park had installed were too low so the park knee-jerked and have installed large fenced everywhere. Some random painting and work near the station to be done as well.
No testing, and the track looks so new it hardly looks like a train has been round the track.
Ride does look fun, but Plohn itself is such a meh and burdenous park I'd be surprised if I ever end up riding it. Shame.
