Sydney, Australia, 16 October 2024 – As MG celebrates a remarkable 100 years of automotive excellence, the brand is excited to announce a significant milestone that embodies the future of MG’s innovation.
Introducing the all-new, all-electric MG Cyberster, a groundbreaking addition that represents a major leap forward in both technology and design. This unveiling marks a new era for MG, merging a century of heritage with cutting-edge advancements to redefine the future of automotive excellence.
Drawing on the history of MG and classic models such as the MGB, the Cyberster brings EV motoring to the modern sports car space.
The Cyberster isn’t just here to be another car, it’s here to make a statement and continue to propel the legacy of MG into the modern era.
MG Motor Australia and New Zealand CEO Peter Ciao said: “MG Cyberster marks a groundbreaking evolution for our brand, seamlessly merging the legacy of MG Roadsters with a daring, forward-thinking vision. Its bold design and exhilarating performance sets an unprecedented standard, making it one of the most advanced vehicles MG has ever unveiled.”
“The all-new MG Cyberster presents uncompromising levels of power and performance, while also continuing our development as a leader in the electric vehicle space here in Australia.”
“Crafted with precision from the ground up, this car is not only a tribute to MG’s storied heritage but also a clear statement that we are unwavering in our pursuit of leadership and innovation in Australia’s automotive landscape.”
“The incredible value the Cyberster delivers will amaze car lovers. Priced at $115,000 (MSRP) plus on road costs, Australian drivers will be blown away when they get behind the wheel. We’re proud to launch what is sure to become MG’s next iconic model.”
Giles Belcher, Chief Commercial Officer, MG Motor Australia, said: “This is an amazing time for MG Motor Australia. The Cyberster is a truly incredible vehicle and showcases the leading technology, performance and design MG offers. With our first shipment of Cyberster’s arriving in Australia, I’m pleased to say that already 30% of these are sold for customer pre-orders.”
“Whether you have a passion for the classic MG Roadsters of years past, love EV motoring today, or admire the beautiful design of the Cyberster, you’ll be excited to get behind the wheel and feel the comfort, power and exhilaration this car delivers.”
The Cyberster can generate up to 375kW of power as well as a mind-blowing 0-100km/hr time of just 3.2 seconds. There’s a 77kWh battery set between the axles featuring an electric motor at each end for four-wheel drive.
The Cyberster is engineered for seamless cruising and spirited driving, whether you’re navigating city streets or testing your limits at the track. With an impressive range of up to 443km WLTP and rapid charging capability that can power the vehicle from 10% to 80% in just 40 minutes using a 150kW CCS Public Charger.
Then there’s the MG Cyberster’s size. At 4535mm long and 1913mm wide, that two-seat body manages to hide its dimensions well, and the car’s proportions imitate those of a front-engine machine, with a long bonnet, a set-back cockpit and short boot lid reminiscent of the old days when the MGB was around.
From the front, the pointed nose sweeps up and back to create a smooth shape, while the rear end is broken up by a set of Union Jack-inspired LED lights. The big arrows that point in the direction of the indicators pay their respects to the origin of the brand.
The Cyberster is available in five colours: English White Standard, Sterling Silver Metallic, Camden Grey Metallic, Diamond Red Metallic, and Royal Yellow Premium.
