The MG Cyberster is a blend of electrifying sports car characteristics and substantial grand tourer traits.
The MG Cyberster, a groundbreaking electric two-seater convertible sports car, has recently been unveiled by MG (Morris Garages). This innovative vehicle marks a significant departure from the brand's traditional focus on small cars and SUVs, and it's set to redefine the electric sports car market.
The Cyberster is available in two models: the single-motor Trophy and the dual-motor GT. Pricing for the Trophy starts from £55,245, while the GT model is priced at £60,245. The GT model delivers a blistering 0-62mph in just 3.2 seconds, boasting a power output of over 500PS.
In terms of range, the Trophy model offers a quoted range of 316 miles, while the GT has a range of 276 miles. The Cyberster's design is finely proportioned but features a drooping nose and distant rear extremities. Its unconventional appearance, combined with the massive gas struts on its button-operated scissor doors and the arrow-shaped rear indicators, make it a standout in the crowded electric vehicle landscape.
The Cyberster is not an EV reboot of a classic MGB, but it does represent a new era for MG, a brand that was once known as Morris Garages, founded in the 1920s, but is now owned by SAIC Motor. The Cyberster's driver-focused cockpit, filled with screens and few physical buttons, is a testament to this new direction.
While the MX-5, now on its fourth generation, is considered the gold standard for how to build a small two-seater sports car, the MG Cyberster differentiates itself with its electric powertrain. This makes it larger and heavier than the MX-5, but it also means it offers a unique driving experience that is both powerful and efficient.
The Cyberster is the first true volume-manufactured convertible electric sports car since the original Tesla Roadster in 2008. It's also the fastest and most powerful machine ever to bear the MG name, setting a new benchmark for the brand.
It's worth noting that while RBW Motors offers the opportunity to spend six figures on an electrified MGB, the MG Cyberster offers a more accessible price point for those looking for a high-performance electric sports car.
In conclusion, the MG Cyberster is a bold and innovative step forward for the brand, offering a unique blend of style, performance, and efficiency. With its unsubtle and garish design details, finely proportioned body, and impressive range and power, it's sure to turn heads and challenge the status quo in the electric sports car market.
