MG Cyberster: electric roadster
The MG Cyberster is being positioned as the only production electric roadster — selling the sports‑car experience through instant torque rather than engine noise. (x.com) It's a rare EV that targets drivers who still want that two‑seater, wind‑in‑your‑hair vibe. (x.com)
MG Motor has opened UK orders for two Cyberster trims: the single‑motor Trophy starts at £54,995 OTR and the flagship dual‑motor GT from £59,995, with first UK deliveries slated for August 2024. (mg.co.uk) The production Cyberster uses a 77 kWh battery (74.4 kWh usable in some specs) with claimed WLTP/official ranges quoted around 444–507 km depending on configuration and testing cycle. (evspecs.org) Top‑spec power is in the 375 kW (roughly 500–536 hp) band for the dual‑motor GT, with manufacturers’ sprint figures at about 3.2 seconds 0–100 km/h (3.1–3.2s quoted for 0–62/0–100). (motor1.com) Fast‑charging capability tops out around 144 kW (MG cites an estimated 10–80% time of about 38 minutes), while AC home charging is advertised at roughly 7–11 kW for an overnight full charge (around 10–12.5 hours). (mgmotor.eu) SAIC‑owned MG builds the Cyberster in China (assembly reported at Ningde, Fujian) after debuting production intent following the 2021 concept and public previews at Auto Shanghai and Goodwood. (en.wikipedia.org) Production models retain flash details from the concept such as scissor‑style doors and a power‑operated fabric hood (MG says the hood opens/closes in about 15 seconds at speeds up to 30 mph), and the marque has shown a related two‑door Cyber GTS coupe concept.
