Although MG has a history of making sports cars, the Cyberster is the first roadster to don the badge since the TF was discontinued in 2011.

Chinese automaker giant SAIC Motor acquired MG in 2007. While the brand remains rooted in British heritage, its lower model SUVs now have the technology that make Chinese cars popular.

The Cyberster’s design embraces MG’s rich history of sports cars. It looks almost Italian — the long bonnet with storm-eye headlamps, a clean side profile that incorporates many design lines into the body and arrowhead taillights capped with a stylish lightstrip connecting them.
