The all-electric MG Cyberster – an EV sports car to rival the Mazda MX-5 – has been unwrapped in new official images
While the production car's silhouette bears a visual relation to that earlier concept, it's all change elsewhere - with a total redesign bringing the car into line with MG's production models and rendering it compliant with global homologation rules.
The cab-back profile remains, albeit in a less exaggerated form, and the Cyberster has lost its Union Jack-inspired rear lights to make way for a striking angular light bar and arrow-shaped brake light clusters. It still looks to be a two-seater, however, and has donned some sort of folding rood for production rather than sticking with the concept's open-cockpit arrangement - but the prominent streamliners running from the headrests to the trailing edge of the boot lid are gone.
Despite the car appearing more or less undisguised in these renderings, still little is known about its powertrain, pricing or performance potential. The concept was said to be based on a bespoke EV architecture, offering a range of 497 miles and a 0-62mph time of less than 3.0sec, and as a spearhead for MG's new youth-focused Cyber brand, the convertible is expected to be priced affordably - potentially even competing with today's entry-level combustion-powered sports cars.
