Sleek MG Cyberster patents leaked

MG's all-new flagship sports car has been fully revealed in final production form via patent documents over the weekend, showing the will remain relatively faithful to the saucy concept car that previewed it in April 2021.

Created to help celebrate the Chinese-owned brand's centenary in 2024, the showroom version of the MG Cyberster differs by dumping the show car's race car-inspired front splitter, which has been shrunken significantly for production.

The concept car’s 'magic eye' headlights have also been dropped, but the aggressive side skirts that look they’ve been lifted directly from a Ferrari 458 Speciale remain.

Sadly, there are no images of the Cyberster with its roof down, so it's not known if the retro rollover hoops make it to production, but at the rear of the car there's a pair of wacky arrow-shaped tail-lights, as per the concept, above a more modest rear diffuser.

Patent images of the cabin have not been released but it's thought the concept car’s interior should largely carry over, albeit without the screens for its rear-view cameras as the production-ready Cyberster sports a pair of conventional door mirrors.

There's no word on how much power the dual-motor MG will boast, but official details suggest the MG Cyberster will sit on an all-new EV architecture and deliver a rapid 0-100km/h acceleration of around three seconds.

Versions with the largest batteries are expected to come with a huge 800km range.

MG Motor has confirmed the availability of right-hand drive production and MG Motor Australia is very much on its radar for future sales.

Despite the born-again British brand’s strong heritage of affordable sports cars, the arrival of the MG Cyberster will come 13 years after the very last MG TF rolled off the production line of its Longbridge factory.
