Since the arrival of the Tesla Cybertruck, the popularity of the word “Cyber” has grown significantly. With the “Roadster Reimagined” Cyberster, MG Cyber GTS has challenged this trend, and with the Cyber GTS Concept, it has gone even further with the name. The idea, revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed to celebrate the brand’s 100th anniversary, could go into production in 2025 as the all-electric Cyberster Roadster Coupe.
MG Cyber GTS celebrated its 100th birthday in style at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. After its acquisition by China’s SAIC, the British brand is currently dominating the market in Europe. MG has offset the unimpressive plug-in hybrid HS SUV introduced recently with the MG Cyber GTS idea, which is expected to be a very successful family vehicle. If it looks familiar, that’s because the Cyberster Roadster is available as a coupe.
Much of the MG Cyber GTS’s bodywork, such as the front end, bumpers, and lights, is shared with the Cyberster. But it has a hardtop instead of a canvas roof, which dramatically changes the silhouette. The MG Cyber GTS gives off a unique identity thanks to its revised rear deck and slimmer profile. Whether or not the coupe and Cyberster will share a scissor door is still unknown.
MG Cyber GTS refers to it as an idea, but it’s clear that it’s already ready for production. Indeed, MG intends to run a functional prototype up the famous Goodwood Hill. It has 19-inch wheels and is finished in the all-new British Racing Green color. MG chose to equip another prototype with 20-inch wheels for static performance.
Auto Express claims that MG could begin production of the Cyber GTS in the coming year. Although the prototype doesn’t reveal any interior details, MG has said it will have a more functional cabin than the Cyberster Roadster and a 2+2 configuration. Although the coupe’s mechanical specifications are unknown, it’s speculated that they’re largely similar to its open-top sibling.
Depending on the size of the battery pack (64 or 77 kWh), the Cyberster’s single motor can deliver either 310 or 335 horsepower. The dual-motor variant adds a second 201-hp motor to the front axle, for a total of 536 horsepower. This reduces the RWD model’s 4.9-second 0-100 kph (0-97 mph) acceleration to 3.2 seconds. The AWD model can travel up to 520 km (320 mi) on a single charge, while the single-motor variation has a CLTC range of 500 km (310 mi) and 580 km (360 mi), respectively.
