The SAIC MG brand is launching a new limited edition of its electric convertible sports car, the Cyberster, which will be launched in China in November 2023.
Available in beige and red, this new edition of the Cyberster aims to revive the colors of some of the company's classic models from its history.
Prices for the new model start at $70,400 and go up to $81,775, which is high compared to the price of the original model previously on sale.
The new Cyberster has a premium price, despite being the only electric sports car on the market with a sunroof.
On the first day of the Guangzhou Auto Show, November 17, 2023, the MG Cyberster was officially launched in China. There are three versions of the car, including a single-engine version and a twin-engine version.
MG calls these three versions the Charm Edition, Fashion Edition, and Pioneer Edition, with prices starting at $44,545, $47,330, and $50,115, respectively.
Only 100 units of the modern red Cyberster convertible will be sold in the first round of sales.
This modern edition celebrates the 100th anniversary of the British brand, which later became a Chinese brand.
The new version of the Cyberster is an all-wheel drive version, equipped with two permanent magnet synchronous motors with a maximum total power of 400 kilowatts and a 0-100 km acceleration time of 3.2 seconds.
The company provided the car with a triple lithium-ion battery from CATL with a capacity of 77 kilowatts, allowing a range of up to 520 kilometers.
The British company MG, whose full name was Morris Garages, was founded in 1924 and initially produced affordable sports cars that were known for their performance and style.
The company has gained global fame through its involvement in motorsport and its unique models such as the MG TC and MGB.
The company faced various challenges over the years and was acquired by Nanjing Automobile Corporation in July 2005.
In April 2007, SAIC acquired Nanjing Automobile and MG became one of its brands.
The company has focused on producing affordable electric cars in recent years and has become very popular in Europe.
