The Cyberster Trophy, featuring a single motor, starts at £54,995 OTR, backed by MG’s comprehensive 7-year, 80,000-mile warranty. Its iconic scissor doors and fully electric fabric hood, capable of opening or closing in just 15 seconds at speeds up to 30mph, promise an exhilarating yet refined driving experience. Boasting power figures of 340PS (250kW) and a torque of 350 lb-ft (475 Nm), it achieves a 0-62mph sprint in just 5.0 seconds.
For those seeking ultimate performance, the flagship Cyberster GT is priced at £59,995, making it MG’s most powerful production model ever. With dual-motor, all-wheel-drive capability, it delivers an impressive 503PS (375kW) and 725Nm (535 lb-ft) of torque, propelling it from 0-62mph in a mere 3.2 seconds. Both variants offer four drive modes – Comfort, Custom, Sport, and Track – catering to diverse driving preferences.
Inside, the Cyberster offers a blend of luxury and cutting-edge technology, elevating the grand touring experience to new heights. The cabin features 6-way electrically-adjustable heated seats with memory function, a heated steering wheel with 4-way adjustability, and twin paddles for kinetic regeneration. A specially designed wind deflector minimizes buffeting during roof-down motoring, ensuring maximum comfort on long-distance journeys.
Powered by a 77kWh battery, the Cyberster achieves an exemplary combination of range and performance, with the Trophy offering a maximum range (WLTP) of 316 miles and the GT delivering 276 miles of performance-focused driving. David Allison, MG Head of Product and Planning, expresses excitement about the Cyberster’s potential to attract enthusiasts with its design and performance.
He emphasizes that both the Trophy and GT promise to redefine two-seat EV sporting roadsters, ushering in a new era of electric grand touring. Undergoing an extensive 18-month performance and handling development program in the UK, directed by MG’s Longbridge engineering team, the Cyberster offers refined driving dynamics optimized for diverse driving conditions.
Equipped with Brembo brakes, three-mode regenerative braking, and rapid DC charging up to 150kW, the Cyberster ensures efficient energy usage and quick charging capability. An array of driver assistance features, including MG Pilot, further enhances safety and convenience on the road.
