In the summer of 2024, the Cyberster, MG’s newest electric car, will hit the streets of Europe. The Cyberster looks like the 2021 concept car, right down to the strange sliding doors. Stolen Chinese government papers say that the Cyberster and be about the size of a BMW Z4. From the T-Type of the 1930s and 1940s to the MGB of the 1960s and 1970s and the MG F of the 1990s, the eight-pointed MG mark was a sign of fun little roadsters. The new Cyberster is an electric car sold in Europe next summer. The brand attempted to return to its roots after Chinese state-owned automaker SAIC bought the company in 2007. The production Cyberster made its appearance at the Shanghai auto show last week. It is based on the design of the 2021 concept car, but it is smaller. The bodywork is sleek, with a slightly slanted front end and strong lines that lead to squared-off taillights with LED elements that look like arrows pointing outward. The production roadster has the same fun scissor doors as the concept car and a classy red leather-wrapped interior. A power-folding soft top is also included. Even though MG hasn’t officially released the Cyberster’s exact specs, important information was found in a report with China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology last week. The Cyberster was described as having a length of 178.5 inches, a width of 75.3 inches, and a height of 52.3 inches. This makes it almost 8 inches longer, nearly 2 inches wider, and almost 1 inch higher than a BMW Z4. The gasoline-powered BMW weighs 3535 pounds, while the electric engine weighs 4376 pounds. Two electric motors will drive the Cyberster. The front motor will have a maximum power output of 201 horsepower, and the back motor will have a maximum power output of 335. The paper also said the vehicle could go as fast as 124 mph. No other speed numbers were given, but given how much power the Cyberster has, we expect it to get to 60 mph quickly. Before the electric roadster comes out in 2024, there will be more information, but the Cyberster will rarely set foot on American soil.
