Today all we got is a teaser for a 500-mile fully-electric MG sports car concept set to be unveiled on 31 March.

MG is a historic British manufacturer of sports cars that hasn’t actually produced one in over a decade. Well, that’s finally about to change and not only that, but it’s going to be a fully electric model with impressive performance.

The automaker, owned by China’s SAIC, will unveil a design that previews this future sporty offering on 31 March. What’s a bit amusing is the concept’s name: Cyberster, that is evidently a combination of the words ‘cyber’ and ‘roadster.’ But does its name suggest that MG is targeting the Tesla Roadster with this model?

However, with a claimed nought to 100 km/h (62 mph) time of under 4 seconds, it will still be a quick car.
