Recently, the SAIC MG Cyberster electric sports car appeared on the latest list of applications submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, entering the final preparation stage before mass production. According to the application information, the new car will be a soft-top convertible two-door electric sports car, and is expected to debut at the upcoming Shanghai Auto Show.
In terms of appearance, the MG Cyberster adopts a compact body with smooth lines and a short front end. Since there is no front engine compartment, the front end is pressed down as much as possible to reduce the drag coefficient. Based on aerodynamics, the new car’s front bumper is designed with large ventilation holes.
On the side of the vehicle body, the lines of the front end extend to the side of the body, and the side skirts also integrate a flow disturbance device. At the rear of the vehicle, the taillights and aerodynamic kit are combined, and the left and right turn signals are two arrows. In terms of size, the new car has a length, width, and height of 4,535 × 1,913 × 1,329mm, and a wheelbase of 2,690 mm.
In terms of power, the new car will have a single motor high and low power version and a dual motor version. The single motor version will have a permanent magnet synchronous motor mounted on the rear axle, rear-wheel drive, with a maximum power of 231 kW for the low-power version and 250 kW for the high-power version. The dual motor version will have a permanent magnet synchronous motor mounted on the front axle with a maximum power of 150 kW, and a permanent magnet synchronous motor mounted on the rear axle with a maximum power of 250 kW, providing four-wheel drive.
