MG Cyberster

The MG Cyberster is a revolutionary all-electric roadster that marks the revival of the iconic British carmaker’s sports car heritage, fused with cutting-edge technology and performance. First unveiled as a concept at the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, the Cyberster has garnered significant attention for its blend of nostalgic design cues from MG’s classic roadsters with a futuristic, high-tech approach. It aims to redefine the electric sports car segment, positioning itself as a high-performance vehicle that appeals to both traditional car enthusiasts and modern, tech-savvy drivers.

Exterior

The MG Cyberster boasts a sleek, aerodynamic design, drawing inspiration from MG's rich history of producing two-seater sports cars. However, it takes the concept of a roadster into the future, with bold lines, sharp edges, and a distinctively modern aesthetic. One of the standout features is the car's scissor doors, which are reminiscent of high-end supercars, adding to its appeal. The Cyberster also sports large, aerodynamic wheels and a low-slung body that enhances its performance and visual dynamism.

The rear of the vehicle features a Kammback-style design with LED taillights that incorporate a Union Jack pattern, paying homage to its British roots. The futuristic lighting elements and the sleek silhouette give the car a striking road presence, ensuring it turns heads wherever it goes.

Interior

Inside, the MG Cyberster’s cabin is designed to provide a futuristic driving experience. The interior features a fully digital cockpit, with an interactive, driver-centric layout. A large digital display provides all the necessary information, while advanced connectivity features and cutting-edge infotainment systems ensure that drivers stay connected on the move. The Cyberster is also expected to come equipped with autonomous driving capabilities, in line with MG’s push for incorporating the latest automotive technologies.

The seats are designed with comfort and sportiness in mind, allowing drivers and passengers to enjoy the thrill of open-top driving. High-quality materials, including premium leather and metal accents, give the cabin a luxurious feel, while maintaining the car’s sporty character.

Engine

The MG Cyberster is expected to be offered in two versions: a single motor rear-wheel-drive (RWD) variant and a more powerful dual motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) variant. The RWD model is aimed at delivering a balanced performance with a range of approximately 500 kilometers on a full charge, catering to drivers who prioritize efficiency along with sporty dynamics. The dual-motor AWD version, on the other hand, is the performance flagship of the Cyberster lineup, offering greater power and faster acceleration, with a 0-100 km/h sprint in under 3 seconds. However, due to its higher performance demands, the AWD model is estimated to offer a slightly lower range of around 400 kilometers.

These powertrains are backed by state-of-the-art battery technology and electric motors, delivering not just speed but also smoothness and quietness, characteristics of modern electric vehicles. Additionally, the Cyberster is expected to offer ultra-fast charging capabilities, making it practical for long drives as well as everyday commutes.
