The first modern electric car for mass production was an open-top, with the Tesla Roadster. But, almost 20 years after the Roadster’s debut, the E generation has obviously lost interest in open cars. Because, even though the manufacturers are flooding new electric vehicles onto the road across all segments from small cars to luxury saloons, convertibles are notably absent.


That’s all about to change, though. While Tesla is (as always) late with the revival of the Roadster, the electric Mini Cabrio is still a long way away, the Maserati GranCabrio Folgore in another price league altogether, and the Fiat 500 perhaps not open-air enough for some sun-seekers, MG is here to plug the gap in the market.


The MG Cyberster is finally in series production, is already on sale in China and customer deliveries will start in the UK by the end of this summer. We had a drive out in China, ahead of some proper time with the car in the UK.


However, the Chinese do like to be the centre of attention, and the Cyberster is all about that. After all, the MG designers didn't go down the retro-style route, but rather designed an extremely modern two-seater that makes more of a show than many super sports cars. With powered, butterfly doors that swing up at the push of a button, and with details like the taillights that flare up like fiery red arrows - not to mention an extrovert rear diffuser that helps to keep the car sucked onto the road – it’s very much a ‘look at me’ car.


The Cyberster is offered in two versions. The ‘basic’ version is called the MG Cyberster Trophy, and is powered by a 335bhp electric motor, which powers the rear-wheels for a 0 to 62mph in 5.0 seconds. If that doesn’t sound sporting enough, the dual motor, all-wheel drive MG Cyberster GT gets 503bhp and will sprint to 62mph in just 3.2 seconds.
