FIRST DRIVE: MG Cyberster - 335bhp, £50k, RWD and Scissor Doors!

Indelibly linked with the MGB sports car of the 1960s and ‘70s, MG is now better known as the purveyor of practical cars at the affordable end of the market. Until now… You’re looking at a sports car that neither Porsche nor Tesla have managed to put into production yet: a two-door open-top with punchy electric power. It’s a halo car for MG, with svelte styling (complete with scissor doors) and single- and dual-motor powertrain options. We’ll likely see Porsche’s forthcoming electric Boxster and the much-delayed Tesla Roadster towards the end of 2024, but production of either won’t start until 2025.

To bring you one of the very first reviews in the world, Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford has been all the way to China to try it… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: WATCH MORE TOP GEAR: First Looks:   First Dri
