You definitely won’t miss the MG Cyberster at paultan.org ACE 2024, which starts today at the Setia City Convention Centre. The hot electric roadster is drawing in the crowds, being the only two-door sports car in the building, and in the blazing Dynamic Red no less. As if any more help is needed, up goes the powered Lambo-style scissor doors.
The Cyberster is now open for booking with an estimated price of below RM350k. Sounds like a lot of money? Yes, but we heard that there have been bookings already, with buyers coming to ACE to sit in the roadster and poke around before confirming their decision. More than one name on the list, too!
The dual-motor all-wheel-drive system pushes out 544 PS (400 kW) and 725 Nm of torque, and this is good for 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 201 km/h. The 77 kWh battery provides a decent WLTP range of 444 km, and the max DC charging rate is 144 kW – topping up SoC from 10 to 80% takes 38 minutes. AC charging is at 7 kW.
We’re getting a high-spec car here, which includes 20-inch ‘Jetstream’ alloys (largest possible), two powered seats, Nappa leather and Alcantara upholstery and a bank of screens. The latter consists of a 10.25-inch digital instrument display flanked by two more 7.0-inch touchscreens for controlling the infotainment and vehicle functions. Yet another 7.0-inch touchscreen houses the dual-zone climate controls.
Also on the fully-loaded roadster are things like an eight-speaker Bose sound system, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and the full range of driver assistance features, which by the way includes door opening warning although the doors flip upwards. Aside from the red hero colour, you can have your Cyberster in Inca Yellow, Camden Grey and English White too.
Aside from the red hot one, SAIC Motor Malaysia has on display the MG4 and MG ZS EVs, the recently-launched MG5 City/Vios rival and the MG HS. The latter is an ICE C-segment SUV that’s being previewed ahead of a launch that will happen soon. So, come and check out the Cyberster and MG’s more ‘normal’ EV and ICE models at ACE 2024. There are savings of up to RM10,888 on offer and if you purchase a car at ACE, you’ll receive RM3,000 worth of vouchers.
