Here’s another look at the upcoming MG Cyberster - a ‘dramatic’ model that MG says is the first all-electric roadster on the market.
The battery-powered, two-seat convertible is set to arrive in the summer of next year.
We still don’t know what will be powering the Cyberster just yet, with rumour suggesting there will be a dual-motor variant packing 544 PS.
But we do now know what the Cyberster will look like in the flesh, after it made a public outing at the MG Motor UK headquarters in central London.
You can watch a new video which explores the Cyberster’s origin story on the official MG Motor UK YouTube channel.
Advanced design director Carl Gotham said at the launch event:
“It is a special moment for all of us who have played a part in designing this unique car. The Cyberster will offer MG customers a striking, all-electric roadster which will be as exciting as MG sports cars of the past.”
Signature design highlights include a long bonnet, low nose and ‘curvaceous surfaces’.
The Cyberster also gets show-stopping scissor doors and a ‘Kammback’ rear design - where the back of the car slopes downwards before abruptly ending with a flat, vertical rear.
An MG spokesperson adds:
“The two-seater Cyberster marks a keenly anticipated return to sports car production by the MG marque, with the car bringing the story right up to date with a high performance all-electric powertrain and modern cabin featuring an array of advanced driver technology.”
The Cyberster will be the first roadster we’ve seen from the rejuvenated MG marque since the MG TF was killed off in 2011.
Will the Cyberster knock the ever-present Mazda MX-5 off its perch as the go-to affordable roadster for the masses? Only time will tell - but it’s surely got Mazda worried.
