MG reveals the first pictures of the Cyberster

Just days after revealing design renderings, MG has released the first official photographs of its Cyberster concept car, which will be making its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show.

The Cyberster's intelligent all-electric architecture will enable an approximate EV range of 800km and deliver a zero to 100km/h sprint time of less than three seconds. Its body is designed to enhance aerodynamic performance with the classically shaped MG grille serving as an air duct to ensure smooth airflow over the car's chassis.

It features classic round MG head lights, coupled with a slim grille design, as well as interactive 'Magic Eye' head lights that open when switched on.

Other striking details of the MG Cyberster are the 'laser belt' LED strip down the side of the car and the outline of the door, which follows the direction of the LED strip.

Its powerful sports car profile has a distinct two-stage shoulder line, with a flattened 'kamm tail' rear, accentuated by unusual 'hacker blade' alloy wheels. The tail lamps are of LED construction and are integrated flat into the rear of the car, projecting a digital image that echoes MG's British heritage.

The new pictures also reveal a 'digital fibre' interior design theme that adopts a driver-centric layout, with a separated cockpit for driver and passenger and a large-sized LED instrument cluster with a second central screen. The screen ahead of the driver presents all of the key vehicle information in a modern nut minimalist style, while the central display houses its more interactive features.

MG Cyberster also sports 'Zero Gravity' seats, which have floating head restraints, while the door panels and red leather handles reflect the ‘laser belt’ that runs down the car's exterior.
