MG Cyberster will return brand to roadster niche

  MG will launch its new Cyberster electric sports car in Europe next summer, the Chinese-owned brand has said.

MG revealed pictures of the roadster on Tuesday on the sidelines of the Shanghai auto show.

The Cyberster will have upward opening ‘scissor’ doors and a distinctive steeply sloping rear with a ‘Kammback’ aerodynamic design.

The Cyberster is “respectful of the brand’s illustrious past while also absolutely modern and forward-facing like the MG of today,” Carl Gotham, advanced design director of the MG’s design studio in London, said in a statement. “It opens a bold and compelling new chapter for MG,” he said.
