A harmonious blend of cutting-edge technology, striking design, and exhilarating performance, the Cyberster marks a bold new chapter for the iconic MG brand. The first thing that strikes you about the Cyberster is its futuristic design. With sleek lines, aerodynamic curves, and a low-slung profile, it looks like a concept car straight out of a science fiction movie. The Cyberster’s design is a collaborative effort between MG’s design studios in London and Shanghai, reflecting a global vision for the brand. At the front, the Cyberster features an aggressive stance with sharp LED headlights and a distinctive grille that hints at its electric nature. The rear is equally impressive, with a sculpted tail and an integrated spoiler that enhances its sporty appeal. The Cyberster’s design is not just about aesthetics; it’s about performance. Every line and curve is meticulously crafted to reduce drag and improve efficiency. Underneath its striking exterior, the Cyberster packs a punch. It is built on a state-of-the-art electric platform featuring dual motors that deliver impressive power and torque. The result? A 0-60 mph time of under three seconds, making it one of the fastest EVs in its class. The Cyberster is not just about straight-line speed; it boasts a dynamic chassis and advanced suspension system that ensure precise handling and a thrilling driving experience. Step inside the Cyberster, and you are greeted by a high-tech cockpit that rivals the most advanced vehicles on the market. The centerpiece is a large, curved infotainment screen that seamlessly integrates with the digital instrument cluster. This setup provides the driver with all the necessary information at a glance, from navigation to battery status.

The Cyberster underlines that commitment with a high-performance EV convertible, which we hope will have the same impact as its much-loved forerunners.” - Aiden He, CEO of MG Nordic & BeNeLux
