This looks very much like the new MG Cyberster. And we know this because earlier this week the internet was awash with pictures and details of it leaked via a Chinese government website. Oops.

So, this is the new MG Cyberster. Or at least a render of it, digitally stitched together in this here promo shared on MG Motor UK’s social media channels on Thursday morning.
Many things are teased: a convertible roof, yoke steering wheel, digital screens, an LED rear light bar and… is it just us or do those brake lights have a whiff of Union Flag about them? Paging the Mini Hatch for a second opinion.
Reports suggest the two-seater sports car will be offered in single- and dual-motor set-ups, with weight kept under two tons. So not exactly a lightweight by traditional standards, though this is an electric car don’t forget, so your barometer will need adjusting for the presence of much lithium-ion.
There’s no word yet on whether the Cyberster will hit its (eyebrow raising) targets of 0-100kph in under three seconds and a range of almost 800 kilometers, although it’s been suggested that it’ll peak at 200 kph. We shall see.
Well, we assume we’ll see - the incubation period for the Cyberster has been longer than most. Who remembers the initial E-motion concept of 2017?
