The British brand MG, owned by the Chinese automaker SAIC, continues to declassify the first sports novelty in many years – the Cyberster electric roadster: interior photos have been published serial version.
In the status of a concept, the MG Cyberster debuted in April 2021 at the Shanghai Motor Show, in May 2022 a closed show of the pre-production version took place in London, and today the serial salon has been declassified. It differs from the pre-production one in some trim details and a traditional round steering wheel instead of a truncated Tesla-style steering wheel, although it is possible that the latter will be offered as an option. The guillotine-style lift-doors remain and are powered by a servo – probably also optional, because in the previous photos the sports car has external door handles, but in the new ones it does not.
