The new MG Cyber GTS charged up the show at the 2024 Goodwood Festival on Thursday. MG unveiled its new two-door electric sports car, a hardtop variant of its Cybster EV. In China, the new EV is already being compared to Porsche’s iconic 911.
After the Goodwood Festival of Speed officially kicked off on Thursday, July 11, several new electric models made their first appearance. One of the most notable is the new MG Cyber GTS. Deputy Chief Designer at SAIC Motor (which now owns MG), Shao Jingfeng, detailed it as a “two-door, four-seat hardtop sports car with flaming red lips.”
As part of the brand’s 100-year anniversary, the Cyber GTS is a hardtop version of its Cybster roadster. MG launched its Cyberster electric sports car last November, and it’s poised to hit overseas markets this summer. The all-electric Cyberster fuses the “iconic roadster heritage” with modern design. Although the new Cyber GTS is a concept, it’s expected to go into production and could be aimed at overseas markets.
MG’s new hardtop EV sports car is influenced by the MGC GTS Sebring race car. It also has design elements from the Cyberster, including similar air intakes and headlights. However, unlike the Cyberster, the new Cyber GTS is a “real 2+2,” MG’s advanced design chief, Carl Gotham, explained.
