MG To Unveil An Affordable Sportscar EV In 2024 As Part Of Its Centenary Celebrations | Carscoops carscoops
The Future Is Electrified For Mazda MX-5 Miata, Hybrid eFuel Model In The Works
Carl Gotham, head of design at MG UK, admitted that the Cyberster is a “hugely exciting concept” for the designers, describing sportscars as the “lifeblood of the MG DNA”. He revealed that the roadster will be looking into the future while touching on the brand’s heritage and building on its “cutting-edge technology” and “advanced design”.
Naturally, design features like the futuristic lighting units, the protruding aero components, the massive wheels, and the tech-filled interior will be toned-down for production. Similarly, specifications like the advertised 800 km range and the sub-3 second 0-100 km/h sprint of the concept sound unlikely to be achieved by an affordable EV, and unnecessarily optimistic for the segment.
MG was acquired by Chinese SAIC 16 years ago, leading to a gradual reintroduction of the brand to global markets. The new era of MG has been quite successful, with the brand hoping to reach the one million sale milestone by 2024 in 100 global markets.
