It\u2019s <a class=\"polaris__link -is-external\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/mg\">MG<\/a>\u2019s recreation of the British roadster for the <a class=\"polaris__link -is-external\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/electric-cars\/86169\/best-electric-cars-buy\">electric<\/a> age and Auto Express was given exclusive behind-the-scenes access to bring you the full story on what should be a pivotal new halo model for the ambitious MG brand.<\/p>\n<p>MG\u2019s return to the UK consciousness since China\u2019s SAIC Motors took ownership has been nothing short of astonishing. This erstwhile British brand has grown from an under-utilised asset of the Rover Group to a global standard in affordable electric passenger vehicles in just a few short years. But if there\u2019s one statement of intent about how seriously we should take MG, it\u2019s got to be its most ambitious venture yet: the Cyberster Roadster.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Created in London by SAIC\u2019s advanced design studio, the project was prompted by MG\u2019s burgeoning success in the UK and abroad, but also as a celebration of the brand\u2019s centenary. This two-seat, all-electric roadster isn\u2019t just new for MG, but it\u2019s also the first real-world realisation of a whole new type of car.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Ignoring the original low-volume <a class=\"polaris__link -is-external\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/tesla\/roadster\/101760\/tesla-roadster-production-delayed-again-until-2023\">Tesla Roadster<\/a>, the MG Cyberster will hold the title of being the first bespoke, ground-up all-electric roadster. An expression of intent by MG that sees itself as a true innovator, and one that will appeal to buyers not just for objective reasons, but on the grounds of desire.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"polaris__simple-grid--main\">\n<p>The Cyberster has been designed to be a halo product for the firm in the UK, and to sell in reasonable volumes all over the world, including MG\u2019s home Chinese market. As differentiation between territories goes, the UK and Chinese markets are perhaps as disparate as they come, making the job especially complicated. British buyers have a very direct and literal connection to MG, while its Chinese audience has a very different association with the brand, and therefore different expectations.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"polaris__heading\">MG Cyberster design and scissor doors<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s this tension that Carl Gotham, head of SAIC\u2019s advanced design studio in Marylebone, had to contend with at every step when designing the Cyberster. \u201cThis is a big moment for MG, so it has to make a big impression,\u201d he tells us. \u201cWe wanted something that was going to stand out. Something that wasn\u2019t too meek or demure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gotham and his team of 20-or-so designers were given some extraordinary freedoms in the car\u2019s overall design and packaging. Thanks to the flexibility granted by electric powertrains, elements such as the long bonnet and short rear deck were able to be realised, tapping into those traditional British <a class=\"polaris__link -is-external\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/best-cars-vans\/106907\/top-10-best-sports-cars-2022\">sports-car<\/a> proportions, but they needed to do so in a thoroughly contemporary style. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying something to reinvent this typology, or do something completely alien,\u201d Gotham says. \u201cThis is an electric car, but we didn\u2019t want to feel too attached to the technology, so as not to feel too stark or too cold. We wanted this car to feel a little more passionate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The nose is long, low and sculpted, with a heavily contoured bonnet sitting above carefully considered openings that are functional, but don\u2019t directly reimagine the historic MG grille design. A huge MG badge, which will be illuminated in certain markets, is flanked by two modern headlights that create a dramatic daytime-running-light signature. From these, there\u2019s a single line that then folds over the front wing and onto the doors to create the main character line along the car\u2019s flank.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"polaris__simple-grid--main\">\n<p>A striking feature that will make production are <a class=\"polaris__link -is-external\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/lamborghini\">Lamborghini<\/a>-style scissor doors, an element usually reserved for the most extreme <a class=\"polaris__link -is-external\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/best-cars\/88679\/best-supercars\">supercars<\/a> and <a class=\"polaris__link -is-external\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/best-cars\/96407\/best-hypercars\">hypercars<\/a>. While not a priority for legacy markets such as the UK, this was an essential element that MG wanted to integrate to really get customers in emerging markets talking \u2013 and it certainly makes a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Along the side of the car, we perhaps see the team\u2019s most innovative design element in the blacked-out body sections that sit right up at the window line. This use of black bodywork tricks the eye into thinking the sheet metal is more slender and more curvaceous than it actually is, bringing the production model closer to the more extreme Cyberster Concept. This visually thins the bodywork just at the point in which the rear haunch begins over the wheels, exaggerating these lines. It\u2019s a very clever, and effective, way of bringing some of the Cyberster Concept\u2019s wilder design elements to the road.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The rear is where Gotham and his team left the classic British sports car behind, instead adopting a design that links the Cyberster with its fellow EV models in the MG range. The squared-off rear end is framed in a dramatic LED lighting element, with two further arrow-shaped elements within the sculpted interior surfaces. As well as being a literal turn signal, they also gently reference the Union Flag, albeit in reverse.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"polaris__simple-grid--main\">\n<p>Different models will have various wheel and tyre sizes, but the near-production model seen here features a relevant 20-inch package. The electrically powered fabric roof is a quick and simple z-fold design, with the front section forming the tonneau when stowed. Underneath the fabric is a semi-rigid structure to improve roof-up refinement and security when parked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"polaris__heading\">MG Cyberster interior and technology<\/h2>\n<p>The interior was designed by the central SAIC design team in Shanghai, who came up with a tech-heavy cabin that was inspired by gaming. The controversial yoke steering wheel is still only under consideration for the UK, but will be available in overseas markets.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The dash is dominated by four digital interfaces. A three-piece screen displays all the driver information, infotainment controls and driver-assistance tech. Gotham says: \u201cWe\u2019re trying to design for China, which is a very technology-driven market that\u2019s more obsessed with the user experience, where you\u2019re in traffic all the time. So the need to have a relatively entertaining space comes up very often. From a British perspective, we don\u2019t want too many distractions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The smaller, portrait-orientated screen on the dash is reserved mostly for auxiliary functions and the climate control. Next to it is a stack of drive-selector buttons, with some touch-sensitive switches to control the drive modes and commonly used features such as the heated seats. Because this is still an early indication of the future road car, this interior is considered to be around 90 per cent production-relevant, so we expect some small changes to the layout come series production.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"polaris__heading\">MG Cyberster battery, range and performance\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>The Cyberster runs an all-electric platform with a large battery pack fitted under the cabin floor. The specific capacity and tech have not been confirmed, but MG is targeting a range of around 270 miles on a single charge. The brand will offer the choice of either a single motor mounted at the rear, or a high-performance option with a second motor mounted on the front axle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"polaris__simple-grid--main\">\n<p>No specific performance times have been announced, but MG is said to be aiming for a 0-62mph time for the flagship car of somewhere in the three-second range, so it won\u2019t be slow. But while the base car won\u2019t have the same level of straight-line performance, its rear-wheel- drive powertrain and lower kerbweight should make it a desirable option, rather than just an entry-level model.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is where MG\u2019s biggest challenge arguably lies: to develop and build a sports car that looks the part is difficult, but there will also be an expectation that the Cyberster drives well enough to be worthy of the name. While its size and weight will be limiting factors, the electric powertrain\u2019s instant torque and silent operation will make it a unique experience in the motoring world. But whether buyers consider this an engaging experience will be the toughest test for MG and its engineers. Gotham says: \u201cThe dynamics are really important. It\u2019s key that the Cyberster delivers on its dynamic promises, and there\u2019s been a lot of work going into this car to make sure it drives well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MG might be first to the electric roadster world, but it won\u2019t be the last. <a class=\"polaris__link -is-external\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/porsche\">Porsche<\/a> is hot on its heels with an <a class=\"polaris__link -is-external\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/porsche\/boxster\/107818\/pure-electric-porsche-718-boxster-spied-testing-again\">all-electric replacement for the Boxster<\/a> due to be revealed in 2025. However, before we get into the plausible comparisons between the two, it\u2019s worth noting how incredibly ambitious MG has been in creating the Cyberster, which has the job of completely transforming our impression of the brand, again. While we\u2019re still a long way from pricing announcements, MG is said to be targeting a \u00a350-60,000 price point, which is certain to be significantly lower than that of its German rival.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"polaris__simple-grid--main\">\n<p>MG\u2019s lineage isn\u2019t one that can be drawn in a straight line, yet this factor has been a freeing force in this ambitious new future. You may think you know MG, but if SAIC has anything to say about it, expect that interpretation to be shattered in the coming years. Chinese brands are coming out in force, but how brilliant that one of these stories features a great British marque at its centre.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"polaris__heading\">Cyberster from concept to reality<\/h2>\n<p>The Cyberster Concept was designed at SAIC\u2019s London studio as the ultimate reimagination of the MG roadster. Its design came by bridging the gap between MG\u2019s heritage and a modern future, one inspired by gaming and future tech.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There have been some big changes in designing the road car, including removing the LED stripe along the side and a more realistic set of proportions. But remarkably most of the concept\u2019s design elements have made it onto the production model, including its driver-focused interior and scissor doors.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"polaris__heading\">How to redesign an icon: Carl Gotham Q&amp;A<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"MG Cyberster - Carl Gotham\" class=\"imgHideOnJavaScriptDisabled_eexbs16lijckv4d polaris__image lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/New-2023-MG-Cyberster-performance-pricing-and-release-date.jpg\"  height=\"211\" width=\"376\"\/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"MG Cyberster - Carl Gotham\" class=\"polaris__image lazyload\" height=\"211\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/New-2023-MG-Cyberster-performance-pricing-and-release-date.jpg\"   width=\"376\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Carl Gotham, the head of SAIC\u2019s advanced design studio in London, tells us about designing the Cyberster and the expectations surrounding a new two-seat roadster for a company that made its name building iconic sports cars.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:\u00a0How did the Cyberster project come about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"polaris__simple-grid--main\">\n<p>A: It\u2019s an obvious sort of thing: a sports car for MG. We\u2019ve wanted to do it for a long time, but timing in a growing business was part of the challenge. We started this project in a serious way in 2018, when I took over as director of the UK design team. Putting the technology being developed for our EVs, such as the EV4, into an open-top sports car felt like a really interesting combination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What\u2019s the key element that draws a clear line between past MGs and the new Cyberster?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A:\u00a0The two lines on the lower grille that then translate up and over the bonnet, with the MG logo at its centre, are our clear nod to the iconic design motif that has been used across MGs since the very beginning. It\u2019s something we use in all MG products, but probably makes the most sense in this application.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q:\u00a0What were the challenges of changing the concept to production?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: The biggest challenge, as with any project like this, was to keep the essence and the spirit of the original idea. Compared with a traditional roadster, which is always generally quite compact, it\u2019s not quite easy to match that, so we\u2019ve got a car that\u2019s a little bit bigger and more grand. It\u2019s not a petite car, but if you look at an MGB, the proportions are<br \/>\nstill relevant, and quite elegant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"polaris__simple-grid--main\">\n<p><strong>Q: As a British designer, do you feel the pressure in reimagining the MG Roadster?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: There are going to be big expectations on this car. Everyone will have an opinion, but I don\u2019t think there\u2019s one answer to this question. MG, as a brand, doesn\u2019t have a linear history, but at the core of it is the open-top sports car, and ensuring that it remains accessible to more people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What were the challenges of trying to fit a two-seat roadster onto a pre-ordained technical package? And at the other extreme, were there any opportunities?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: The windscreen position was key to the proportions we were trying to achieve. There is freedom and flexibility with an electric car. There\u2019s a ground line that we want to keep low, and then the battery line. To get the seat as low as possible and keep the hip-point low.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What element are you most proud of?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: The front end and the front wing. We\u2019ve got an elongated front surface with a crease and character line. With the face, we\u2019re trying to make it a little more open and friendly rather than a super-aggressive sports car.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click here for our list of the <a class=\"polaris__link -is-external\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/best-cars\/63241\/best-convertible-cars\">best convertibles on sale right now<\/a>&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8162386273903324\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7859258044\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/mg\/cyberster\">READ SOURCE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The MG Cyberster is due to go on sale in summer 2024 with prices starting at around \u00a350,000.
