Speaking on whether a coupe variant was always part of the plan for the Cyberster, Gotham said, “the convertible is always the primary focus, but it opens up the opportunity to build a coupe. The Cyberster is intentionally a sports car, we’ve given it sports car proportions, it has an evocative format and we need that in EVs right now to draw people to electric.”
While the interior is still “in the design process” according to Kaban, Gotham revealed that the Cyber GTS would offer a 2+2 seating layout. “I think a lot of customers that want the Roadster want the experience of an open top without the engine noise – it is something special, it’s quite different. The coupe is for a different audience who want that practicality of a 2+2 and extra space.”
Technical specifications are still to be revealed, but traditionally coupes get more structural rigidity from the fixed roof and engineers are able to remove chassis strengthening elsewhere to save weight. They tend to be more aerodynamically efficient, too. Gotham confirmed all these attributes are “absolutely correct” for the Cyber GTS.
As for the potential to put the Cyber GTS into production, MG is awaiting feedback from the public, but Gotham hinted at a 2025 launch. “Next year is 60 years of the MGB GT [the fixed-head version of the MGB] and anything is possible.”
