Exterior
The MG Cyberster is a genuine showstopper. It manages to capture the classic roadster proportions, long hood, short rear deck, and a low-slung stance, while looking completely futuristic. The most talked-about feature is undoubtedly the electronic scissor doors. They operate at the touch of a button and immediately elevate the car into the “exotic” category.
Up front, the “smiling” face is created by sleek LED headlights and a wide lower intake. The rear is equally dramatic, featuring arrow-shaped LED taillights and a full-width light bar that emphasises its width. The fabric soft top is a piece of engineering art; it can open or close in just 10 seconds at speeds up to 50 km/h. Whether the roof is up or down, the Cyberster looks balanced and purposeful.
Interior
The cabin is heavily driver-centric, often described as a “fighter-jet cockpit.” The wrap-around dashboard is finished in high-quality materials, including Nappa leather and Dinamica suede. Because of the battery pack positioned on the floor, you sit slightly higher than in a traditional petrol sports car, but the seats are incredibly supportive and plush. The layout feels intimate and premium, though the lack of physical buttons for basic tasks like AC adjustment might frustrate some.
Build Quality
MG has clearly stepped up its game. The Cyberster feels “hewn from a single block.” There are no creaks from the chassis, even when driving over uneven surfaces with the roof down, a testament to its high body rigidity. The paint finish is deep and consistent, and the panel gaps are uniform throughout.
The Cyberster is the first car in a long time to make scissor doors feel like a functional part of the design rather than a gimmick. It’s a visual triumph that effectively bridges the gap between MG’s classic heritage and its electric future.
