A new electric sports car on the way from MGmotor is the 'return of the legend'. The question is: which iconic nameplate do you want to see make a comeback?
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.
Talking about adding the Cyberster to the MG line-up, the firm's UK commercial director Guy Pigounakis recently told Autocar: “The problem with sports cars is that everybody loves them but not many people buy them.” He added, however, that MG’s global volume means it can “afford to invest in sports cars and take a longer-term view on when there will be a return on investment”, adding that having a sports car “will bring us massive PR and marketing benefits”.
The Cyberster will build on the Chinese brand’s recent phenomenal success in the UK: sales grew 66% last year, from 18,415 in 2020 to 30,600.hatchback, however, will arrive first, before the end of this year - as the first of a family of EVs based on SAIC's new Modular Scalable Platform, likely to also be used by the Cyberster.
