MG Motor Ireland is delighted to announce the pricing details of its highly anticipated EV roadster, the Cyberster. Soon the locations where customers can experience the thrill of driving the MG Cyberster will be announced at appointed dealerships. The single-motor, Exclusive, Cyberster is available from €69,900. The single motor Cyberster delivers power figures of 340 PS (250 kW), with maximum torque confirmed at 475 Nm. The 0-100 km/h sprint is completed in just 5.0 seconds. The dual-motor, GT, Cyberster is available from €75,500. This Dual Motor will be the marque’s new flagship and the most powerful production model in MG’s 100-year history, with no less than 503 PS (375 kW) and 725 Nm of torque. The dual-motor, all-wheel-drive GT is capable of sprinting from 0- 100 km/h in a staggering 3.2 seconds.
Both the Exclusive and GT are equipped with four drive modes – Comfort, Custom, Sport, and Track allowing drivers to explore the full potential of the Cyberster, from refined, long-distance touring to pure, performance-focused options. Featuring signature scissor doors as envisioned by Carl Gotham and his MG London design team, as well as a fully-electric fabric hood that can be opened or closed in as little as 15 seconds at speeds up to 48 km/h, the rear-wheel-drive Cyberster promises to be a compelling yet refined drive. It includes 6-way electrically adjustable heated seats with memory function and electric lumbar support. A distinctive heated steering wheel featuring 4-way adjustability, as well as twin paddles to assist with kinetic regeneration, completes the perfect juxtaposition of elegance and outright sportiness within the cabin space. To maximise the pleasure and comfort of long-distance, roof-down motoring, a specially designed wind deflector positioned between the front seats reduces buffeting to a minimum.
The Exclusive and GT models 77 kWh battery delivers an impressive combination of range and performance. Maximum range (WLTP) for the Exclusive Single Motor is 509 km, and 443 km for the more performance-focused GT Dual Motor. Both the Exclusive and GT have undergone an extensive 18-month performance and handling development program in the UK, directed by MG’s Longbridge engineering team, who also played a key role in developing the award-winning MG4 EV. The end result is a powerful roadster with a chassis offering high levels of refinement in the city, right through to a genuinely sporting experience on the open road. The Cyberster is equipped with Brembo brakes, as well as three-mode regenerative braking to maximise energy efficiency and extend driving range. The Exclusive single-motor features 19-inch alloy Lightning-design wheels, while the GT dual-motor wears 20-inch Jetstream-design wheels with Pirelli P Zero tyres for optimised performance and control. The vechile also has rapid DC charging up to 150 kW, enabling a charge of 10% to 80% in only 38 minutes.
An extensive suite of driver assistance features provides additional safety, actively managing traffic conditions via MG Pilot. This includes Lane Change and Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection, Active Emergency Braking with pedestrian and bicycle detection, Traffic Jam Assist, Intelligent Speed Assist, and Intelligent Headlight Control. Automatically opening twin scissor doors ensure that entering the Cyberster is always an occasion. The cabin has the classic two-seat configuration of a roadster but places both driver and passenger at the centre of a contemporary, connected, cutting-edge experience. Central to that is the wraparound three-screen cockpit, with a 10.25-inch driver display flanked by two 7-inch displays. A further colour display mounted in the centre console provides touchscreen access to the dual-zone climate controls. An extensive range of infotainment features is included, with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, an 8-speaker Bose sound system, DAB, and voice recognition. A 360° parking camera and twin USB ports are also standard.
Practical touches include a central armrest with storage, ambient lighting, sunglasses storage, sun visors with integrated mirrors and lights, and a 12V power socket. A 249-litre boot capacity ensures grand touring practicality for a long weekend. MG’s interior designers have crafted a cabin to match the striking exterior. In addition to the highly distinctive and multi-functional steering wheel, there are metal sports pedals, with the leather-style seats available in grey with white accents or black with red. There are five exterior colour choices, from the classic Ivory White to the vibrant Inca Yellow, accentuated by contrasting black lower trim. Including roof fabric and exterior paint colours, there are 32 combinations to choose from. And like all MG models, the Cyberster is supported by a comprehensive 7-year, 150,000km warranty.
