In the fast-paced world of electric vehicles (EVs), UK industry veteran MG Motor continues to lead the charge with their newest EV marvel: the MG Cyberster. Announced on April 25th, this eye-catching, performance-oriented open-top roadster represents the latest innovation from MG, available in two powerful variants, the Cyberster Trophy and Cyberster GT.
MG’s Maiden Venture into EV Roadsters
With two versions available for pre-order, the Cyberster Trophy and the GT, the former starting at £54,995 and the latter at £59,995, MG offers a compelling proposition for both EV rookies and veterans. Flaunting signature scissor doors and a fully electric fabric hood – lending a nod to the traditional roadster design – the Cyberster is set to redefine open-top motoring in the modern era.
Under the Bonnet
Boasting respective power outputs of 340PS (250kW) and an impressive 503PS (375kW) for the GT model, these Cybersters exhibit impressive torque figures of 350 lb ft (475 Nm) and an astounding 725Nm (535 lb ft) for the GT. Sprinting from 0-62mph in a mere 5.0 seconds for the Trophy and 3.2 seconds for the GT, these EV roadsters offer truly exhilarating athletic prowess.
The Cyberster’s 77kWh battery ensures performance is matched with substantial range, with the Trophy offering an impressive 316 miles and the GT delivering 276 miles. With rapid DC charging up to 150kW, users can replenish 10% to 80% of the battery in a remarkably swift 38 minutes.
The luxurious interiors, replete with heated, electrically-adjustable seats, and a heated steering wheel with twin paddles for kinetic regeneration, all contribute towards creating a premium experience, previously reserved for the most luxurious GTs.
A Sporting Grand Tourer for the Electric Age
The Cyberster has undergone rigorous performance and handling development for 18 months under the aegis of MG’s Longbridge engineering team. Equipped with Brembo brakes, three-mode regenerative braking, and a choice of four drive modes, the Cyberster blends high levels of refinement with a sporty driving experience.
The cabin offers a contemporary, connected experience, incorporating an extensive range of infotainment features from Android Auto, Apple CarPlay to an 8-speaker Bose sound system while ensuring practical storage solutions and a 249-litre boot capacity.
The MG Cyberster combines classic roadster aesthetics with advanced EV technology, symbolising MG’s commitment towards accessible mobility while encapsulating the spirit of grand touring within the electric age. With an enticing blend of performance and comfort, MG has truly reinvented open-top motoring for the future.
