A coupe version of the Cyberster has been on the cards for some time as well, because we saw the fixed-head Cyber GTS concept back two years ago. Carl Gotham, advanced design director for MG’s parent firm, SAIC Motor, told us this version would offer a 2+2 seating layout like a Porsche 911. He even hinted it could become a reality in 2025, but it never materialised.
Rather than a Cyberster Superleggera or a rugged Cyber Dakar – which we think would also be quite something – MG’s head of product and planning for the UK, David Allison, told Auto Express he’s very keen to create special editions of the brand’s halo car primarily using unique “paint colours, roof colours, seat colours, wheels, bits and pieces like that. That’s how I think we keep the longevity of that car going in the near future.”
The Cyberster Black concept presented at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed showed us what such a special edition could look like, featuring a bespoke deep black paint enhanced with ultra-fine glass particles to give it a “subtle sparkle”. However, there was nothing subtle about its huge chrome rims.
There has been a Cyberster Red Top Edition, which was not an homage to the British tabloids, but to MG’s 100th anniversary, with the unique beige paintwork and red roof inspired by icons from its past. Unfortunately, it was only sold in China.
Hopefully we’ll be treated to our first special edition soon and the Superleggera does become a reality. But in the meantime, if the MG Cyberster has caught your eye with its sharp looks and impractical (but awesome) supercar-inspired scissor doors, right now you can save more than £10,000 on a new (pre-reg) top-of-the-line model through the Auto Express Buy A Car service.
