This feels like a long time coming. It’s been almost exactly three years since MG revealed its concept for a last year and after an 18-month performance and handling development programme overseen by the engineering team at Longbridge, the Cyberster officially goes on sale in the UK today. The first deliveries planned are planned for August.
As you might expect, where they differ is output. The Trophy gets 340hp and 350lb ft of torque from its single motor, which sounds like an ideal amount for an electric convertible that must dissuade people from buying a 300hp Porsche 718 Boxster. It’ll do 0-62mph in 5 seconds dead. However, given the modest premium being asked, it’s easy to see the GT being favoured by British buyers - especially as it accesses 503hp and 535lb ft of torque and will get to just beyond the national limit in 3.
