MG, owned by China's SAIC, has been receiving accolades for its HS SUV, which topped the UK sales charts, and the MG4 EV, which costs $10,000 less than the VW ID.3 and has received high praise. However, the Cyberster has been the most anticipated of all the vehicles.
The Cyberster electric sports car concept was displayed in March 2021, and the new production version will be available within the next 12 months. Judging by the photos circulating in Chinese social networks, the serial MG Cyberster will retain the basic design of the concept. That is, we can expect a compact roadster with an extraordinary appearance and like a steering wheel instead of the usual steering wheel.

In keeping with MG’s value ethos, entry-level cars will feature a single electric motor and rear-wheel drive, but a high-performance dual-motor powertrain will be optional for those hungry for more. For context the 168 hp (170 PS) single-motor MG4 EV does zero to 62 mph (100 kmh) in 7.7 seconds, but a bi-motor, all-wheel drive version with 443 hp (449 PS) and capable of getting there in less than 4 seconds is claimed to be in the works.

It now seems likely to be publicly unveiled during 2023 – some have suggested April – and then go on sale in 2024, MG’s centenary year.
