The Electric MG Cyberster: Prices and Performance Unveiled
The electric car market welcomes an exciting new addition with the MG Cyberster, a vehicle that not only nods to the past with its design but is also firmly focused on the future with its electric powertrain. In light of recent information, we can now delve deeper into what this electric roadster has to offer, including the prices that have just been revealed.
Design and Inspiration
The MG Cyberster, whose concept was unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show in 2021, blends vintage aesthetics with modern technology. With a length of 4.53 meters and butterfly doors that open electrically upwards, the Cyberster aims to offer a 'wow factor'. The interior is no less impressive with a curved interface of three screens around the driver, clearly showing that MG is moving from nostalgia to innovation.
Performance
In terms of performance, the Cyberster is powered by a powerful electric motor, with the top version featuring a dual-motor setup, providing 400 kW (536 horsepower). This enables the roadster to compete in the sportier segments of the automotive market, although its weight and design make it best suited for fast and winding roads rather than the track.
Prices
Regarding prices, the UK market has given an indication of what we can expect. The MG Cyberster starts from £55,000 for the Trophy model, which equates to about €65,450, and goes up to £60,000 (€71,400) for the GT version. This price level positions the Cyberster in an interesting market position, where it is presented as a premium electric roadster, capable of competing with two MG4s, a more affordable electric option from MG.
Conclusion
The MG Cyberster marks MG's return to the segment of exciting open sports cars but with an electric twist. With its striking design, modern interior, and solid pricing, MG targets consumers looking for a mix of nostalgia, luxury, and sustainability. Although the prices indicate it won't be an entry-level model, the Cyberster promises to carve out a unique position in the growing market of electric vehicles.
