MG Motor New Zealand has just released more information on the world’s first all-electric convertible sports car, the Cyberster, with a price from $129,000.

The Cyberster can generate up to 375kW of power as well as a 0-100km/hr time of 3.2 seconds. There’s a 77kWh battery set between the axles featuring an electric motor at each end for four-wheel drive. 

At 4535mm long and 1913mm wide, the two-seat body manages to hide its dimensions well, and the car’s proportions imitate those of a front-engine machine, with a long bonnet, a set-back cockpit and short boot lid reminiscent of the old days of the iconic MGB convertible.

It is in dealerships now, just in time for summer.

The Cyberster is engineered for seamless cruising and spirited driving, whether you’re navigating city streets or testing your limits at the track, says MG

It has a range of up to 443km WLTP and rapid charging capability that can power the vehicle from 10% to 80% in just 40 minutes using a 150kW CCS Public Charger.

MG Motor Australia and New Zealand CEO Peter Ciao said: “MG Cyberster marks a groundbreaking evolution for our brand, seamlessly merging the legacy of MG Roadsters with a daring, forward-thinking vision. Its bold design and exhilarating performance sets an unprecedented standard, making it one of the most advanced vehicles MG has ever unveiled.

“The all-new MG Cyberster presents uncompromising levels of power and performance, while also continuing our development as a leader in the electric vehicle space … in Australia and New Zealand.

“Crafted with precision from the ground up, this car is not only a tribute to MG’s storied heritage but also a clear statement that we are unwavering in our pursuit of leadership and innovation in Australiasia’s automotive landscape.”

The Cyberster is available in five colours; English White Standard, Sterling Silver Metallic, Camden Grey Metallic, Diamond Red Metallic, Royal Yellow Premium.
