MG Cyberster – its electric two-door convertible – spotted in the wild in Australia

Back in September 2023, MG started to take customer pre-orders in China to deliver it’s first two-door electric convertible sportscar.

Nearly 6 months later, a Cyberster has been spotted in the wild in Australia, thanks to Tesla’s dashcam feature, which enabled Jordan, an EV enthusiast, to spot the MG Cyberster travelling in the opposite direction in North Sydney.

The sighting of the red convertible was shared on the popular Electric Vehicles for Australia Facebook group. The vehicle has a blue marker on the door captured which is indicative of MG’s testing vehicles.

Another shot captured by the Tesla dashcam camera highlights that the MG is also a right-hand-drive variant.

If this vehicle is to be officially launched in Australia later this year, it would be the first and only electric convertible on the market.

The Cyberster was unveiled as a concept car in 2021 at the Shanghai auto show. Over the last three years, MG has been getting interest from buyers in China and more globally in other countries to help get the concept into mass production.

It is also available in both single and dual-motor powertrains. The single-motor variants have two power outputs with the base level coming in at 231 kW while the slightly more powerful one delivers up to 250 kW of power. 

The more powerful dual-motor variants can deliver a power boost with the two motors packing 400 kW. This will propel the convertible from 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 200 km/h.

The MG Cyberster is longer than the popular MG4 hatchback, coming in at 4,535 mm in length, or 248 mm longer. And it is wider.

Previously, MG has confirmed that the Cyberster will be making its way to international markets. Consumers in other right-hand-drive markets like the UK have been able to register their interest in the convertible.

Many of the cars seen in the UK have made their way to other markets like Australia and New Zealand. More details are likely to be available in the coming months.
