MG Cyberster goes back to sports car roots with an electric twist

 


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?

Well, with the announced specs, it doesn’t sound like the MG will stand a chance keeping up with the Tesla. However, with a claimed nought to 100 km/h (62 mph) time of under 4 seconds, it will still be a quick car. Range is expected to be around the 500 km (310 miles) mark, but we don’t know the specifics of the battery pack or even how much power it could make.
