Hello and welcome to the enthusiast's Wiki for the MG Cyberster.
This post can be edited by any Established (and higher) usergroup members.
Here is the MG Cyberster introduction rewritten fully in plain ASCII, ready for XenForo posting. No em dashes, no curly quotes, only straight ASCII text.
Title: MG Cyberster - A Modern Electric Roadster with Global Appeal
Overview and History
The MG Cyberster is a fully electric two-seater roadster from SAIC Motor under the MG brand. The name first appeared as a concept in early 2021 and was later revealed in person at Auto Shanghai. Production was delayed by the pandemic, but the final car was shown to the UK public at the 2023 Goodwood Festival of Speed. It marked MG's return to the roadster format that built its reputation, this time using electric power.
Design and Model Variants
The Cyberster blends traditional roadster proportions (long bonnet, low cabin) with modern features such as scissor doors and a folding soft-top roof. It sits on the Modular Scalable Platform and comes in different configurations depending on the market:
Launch and Regional Highlights
Press reviews have praised the Cyberster's styling, performance, and generous equipment levels. While not considered as sharp to drive as traditional petrol roadsters, its acceleration, road presence, and value for money have been highlighted as strengths. Early owner feedback has been positive, with many noting the fun factor, open-top driving experience, and dramatic looks, even if some software and refinement issues remain.
Summary
The MG Cyberster represents a new chapter for MG - taking the spirit of classic roadsters and adapting it for the electric age. With market-specific variants and pricing strategies, it appeals to different types of buyers around the world. For UK enthusiasts it offers an affordable entry into high-performance EV sports cars, while in China and India it shows MG's ambition to compete at the top end of the EV segment.
