MG Cars with Lamborghini-Inspired Scissor Doors

The MG brand presents its first-ever electric sports car, the Cyberster. Boasting a brand-new design language, the Cyberster exudes a style reminiscent of MG’s sports heritage.

Among its standout features, the Cyberster showcases an electrically adjustable folding roof and a unique sliding door design. Additionally, the door handle is positioned on the top of the door, starting from the A-pillar and extending towards the rear.

The Cyberster flaunts a sleek front end with a sloping hood and a lower air intake. The hood’s prominent bulge pays homage to MG’s past sports cars, despite the absence of a V8 engine underneath.

The vehicle’s proportions strike a balanced appeal suitable for a sports car, featuring a long hood and a muscular rear section. At the back, a full-width LED strip encompasses the tail of the car, while arrow-shaped taillights blend seamlessly into the black decorative air vent panel. The rear diffuser can be detached.

Inside the cabin, the Cyberster offers a two-seater configuration with a red theme. It boasts a curved digital instrument cluster and a driver-centered touchscreen on the central control panel.

Carl Gotham, MG’s design director in London, expressed the design team’s mission to create a design that pays homage to MG’s heritage while embracing the brand’s future, appealing to a new generation of sports car enthusiasts.

The weight of the Cyberster varies depending on the technical specifications. Single motor variants weigh about 1,850 kg, while the heaviest Cyberster model weighs 1,985 kg. MG has also unveiled some badges and wheel designs.

The Cyberster comes in both single motor and dual motor versions. The single motor rear-wheel drive variant delivers a power output of 231 kW (309 horsepower), while the dual motor all-wheel drive variant boasts a combined power output of up to 400 kW (543 horsepower).

In terms of size, the Cyberster measures 4,535 mm in length, 1,913 mm in width, and 1,329 mm in height. It is slightly larger than the Porsche 718 Boxster and significantly larger than the Mazda MX-5.

While there is no disclosed information about the Cyberster’s range, it will utilize lithium-ion batteries produced by SAIC. The rear-wheel drive variant boasts a top speed of 193 km/h, while the all-wheel drive system enables the Cyberster to reach a top speed of 200 km/h. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is said to be under 4 seconds.

The Cyberster is set to hit the market in 2024, coinciding with the MG brand’s 100th anniversary.
