This car is gorgeous (minus the arrows) and conceptually, I actually really love the concept design. I wonder if they had originally planned a different kind of steering wheel, like those steering yokes. A lot of things in this feel like they skipped or hurried through the prototyping and testing phases. The price is an absolute steal especially when you consider it’s electric, and I can’t wait to see the second generation!
I don't have a problem with the arrows. BMW Minis, for example, have silly bits of Union Flag as indicators. They look like arrows pointing in the opposite direction. As for cars with indicators which progress along the light strip, spare me the bling crap.
Rear end would look a lot better with just circular lights. Not a bad attempt by MG tho. Like a seriously boosted MX-5. 500bhp and sub 4s 0-60 for 50k now is like a roll back to the days when 300bhp+ became accesible to us plebs with the evo and scooby first hitting the scene.

Quite sure materials have changed alot in 50 years even if the raw material is similar. "Textured Vegan Leather" is design to imitate leather being multiple layers with more spongy and porous top layer. Not slick smooth surface like 1970s vinyl seat cover. The difference is the literal shape of material.
i love mat but he must respect a car even if its a review unit. walking on the seats like that is not it. would you appreciate it if someone walked over your GT3RS?
Heavy ICE is better than heavy EV because the weight in a ICE will be more important things like stiffness, safety equipment etc, not just a giant chinese battery.
Need to mention is that while the MG is a British-origin brand, it is now owned by the Chinese automotive SAIC Motor Corporation. While the design and engineering retain a strong British influence, most manufacturing now occurs in China. So with that price tag, I'm more concerned about the built-quality and durability, and long-term issues in 5 years.

It's a shame about the clowns in the comments. It's nice to see MG finally make a full move towards the original ethos of the brand, quick little open top cars with some polarising design details. I'm also happy to see this car has a 'proper' dash layout, ie all the main control panels in front of the driver instead of the stupid ipad glued to the middle look. The rear lights aren't a great look but not exactly deal breaking either. Overall, a nicely balanced looking little car which is around the same weight as an M4 convertible. Not bad for a full EV with AWD. And while 3.4 to 60 is to some not all that fast (!) it's still more rhan than fast enough for most and faster than most of us have driven or ever will.
@@angelneo1079 Similar to my Tesla model 3 dual motor and the weight can be managed quite nicely. You're making assumptions based on spec. Actually large performance cars in the Mercedes line up also handle quite well at nearly the same weight. My Mercedes C43 AMG weighs 4084 lbs. While my Tesla model 3 dual motor weighs 4065 lbs. The Cyberster at 4,200 lbs. That's a difference of a good size adult and the Tesla and Mercedes are 4 seat cars. How about an e-class AMG. Etc. The weight is not as damaging as you might think.
This is a very good bit of Kit. 9/10 Real value for money. Nice interior and exterior. Shortlist for sure. Lots of PHeV s and EV s in the Global Automotive market right now so it's a buyers market. But this is right up there very interesting.
This is what a vegan f type would be. The similarities are pretty big, its a 2 door sports car, the interior has that handle thing, its possible to have one with 340 hp. Then its his vegan cousin because its electric meaning it doesn't have that phenomenal sound and its seats are literally vegan

100th anniversary!! Sticking a plastic MG badge on chinese tat does not make it an MG. At least twice the price of a much better MX5. There is a reason nobody else fits scissor doors and its not because they are hard to make. Its because you get sick of waiting for them to open. Ofcourse the lamborghini doors were light but modern doors have to withstand crashes so you cant open them manually. I googled it and the first thing that came up was someone on the MGEV forum who couldn't get into their car! Who in their right mind is going to throw 50k at a chinese EV when for the same money they could get a German sports car?
They didn't exactly make amazing cars when it was British and they went bust. What you on about. Your auto industry is dead. It has a manual open button. You can also charge it if the battery dies.
@@autodigitvlogs your ignorance is astonishing. Try looking up a J2. Just one of the many incredible sports cars they built. And built on trials and endurance races. Your average chinese EV will fail just going to the shops. As for our current automotive industry we make the BEST cars in the world. You may not be able to afford one but nobody with any status would swap a rolls Royce, Bentley, Range Rover or morgan for a cheap chinese piece of crap. And ofcourse 90% of formula 1 cars are designed and built in Britain together with the important components for indy500. And all of the reviews mention waiting for the doors is a pain and none mention a manual option. Wot u talking about?
@williampatterson3683 no excuse. Rolls and bentley are made to the same standards in British plants. Jaguar landrover still make the majority of their vehicles in the UK. For the chinese to claim 100 years of heritage in car building is a joke. There is absolutely no link between these dreadful cars and MGs.
As Matt stated there is nothing to compare it with so for under £60,000 for top spec 4wd sub 3.5 sec 0-60 with a 7 year warranty it's all good. Matbe not all great but the price and spec.

@@angelneo1079 Similar to my Tesla model 3 dual motor and the weight can be managed quite nicely. You're making assumptions based on spec. Actually large performance cars in the Mercedes line up also handle quite well at nearly the same weight. My Mercedes C43 AMG weighs 4084 lbs. While my Tesla model 3 dual motor weighs 4065 lbs. The Cyberster at 4,200 lbs. That's a difference of a good size adult and the Tesla and Mercedes are 4 seat cars. How about an e-class AMG. Etc. The weight is not as damaging as you might think.
There was a time when MG meant something...I'd rather own a MGB
How many alcantaras were unalived for that car!!???!!
Stop the slaughter!
The episode where Mat goes full Alan Partridge - "look at my door! My door!!"
I’ll just talk over you. I’m not driving an MG Cyberster, Lynn.
@@mattsanderson haha
He's definitley Alans younger brother
MG cars were never in the Supercar bracket and this one is no exception.
I thought the rear looked good until you pointed out that the tail lights were arrows. BIG yikers McDikers
They're supposed to be union jacks
Matt vs Yianni foot race, more specific when you're doing it, i cant wait any longer 😅
Peak Partridge with the door scenes :)
It'll cost 50k to fix those doors when they break.
Do you keep cars that long
@@kevin-qc7zv it'll break in 3-5. Years😂
@@kevin-qc7zvyou should
Why do I think on a wet day in the not too distant future I will see one of these in a hedgerow on a country road?
We can only hope
It's an MG. Once a brand known for sporty British models.... then they had a brainwave and released the amazing MG Metro....
Who is watching Carwow for more than 3 years?
Your mum

1:08 are those fake centrelocking wheel nuts?
I had to go check that, how did he not pickup on that it’s terrible
@@Shane-og4wv Many cars have caps that cover the wheel nuts. Nothing new.
@@sunrisejak2709 loool this getting sad...theyre clutching at straws now
Nah cuz carwow changed the title from "cancel you're 911 order" to "this budget supercar only costs 50k"💀💀💀💀
we got a sporty MG before GTA VI 🙏
The original MGs were sports cars...
TBF we got sporty convertible MGs in GTA London which was released in 1999 and set in 1969.
the og mgs we are sport cars....
00:06 My lesbian girlfriend approves this car 😂
made me smile sm hahaha
Best review I've seen so far, of this car!
Love all of the Porsche fanboys that fell for the rage bait lol
Edit: so much so that they had to change the title ahahah
Yet none of them can even afford one. Just a bunch of pathetic bigots.
Car Wow doesn't need clickbait titles..
First time, I felt that this fella is biased. Man, look at the price!
4,000 lbs is insane for a “sporty” 2 seater roadster
AMG SL are all around 2000kg
Come off it. An M4 CSL (A FCUKING CSL) weighs in at nearly 3700 alone.
Insane and wild , the new darlings of the hyperbole appreciation society.
16:27 'look ad my doooooooooorss!' ajajajaj
The bobbing you saw when he took the corner does not bode well. More suspension development required.
This is a very good bit of Kit. 9/10 Real value for money. Nice interior and exterior. Shortlist for sure. Lots of PHeV s and EV s in the Global Automotive market right now so it's a buyers market. But this is right up there very interesting.
This is what a vegan f type would be. The similarities are pretty big, its a 2 door sports car, the interior has that handle thing, its possible to have one with 340 hp. Then its his vegan cousin because its electric meaning it doesn't have that phenomenal sound and its seats are literally vegan
Porsche Boxster, BMW Z4, Mercedes CLE & SL ... All more expensive but all with more character and better to drive? I would assume so.
If the rear light design came from the UK, perhaps they should leave it to the Chinese next time.
21:19 yeah, pretty slow 3,4 second after your facial reaction. Since WHEN 3.4 seconds is slow ?????? I find every car under 9 seconds quite fast for real world.
Fool had roof down ….. of course slower , I thought this was a car expert show with expert viewers….. apparently not !
I can imagine sitting outside the casino in Monaco and watching all the Ferrari, Bugatti, Porsche, Lamborghini , McLaren and then someone turns up in a cyberster? 😂 does everyone chuckle, scoff at him
I Love it!!! £61,640 and mines on order from MG as we Speak!!!
Those of you who don't like this car, PLEASE GO BUY SOMETHING ELSE!
So the rest of us don't have to deal with the long waiting list!
Or half price in 6months
@@heidelbergaren5054 it wont be half price because theyre limited and order only
@@marinoint yes, I’ll go somewhere else and frown upon you and everyone else that supports the oppressive Chinese regime.
The rear arrows, the fake and minuscule air vents, and the horribly designed interior make this car a giant NOPE
I really like the look of this car, may get one once they’ve depreciated by around 50% in the next two years .
Front porsche ,back of the car volvo 😂🙋♂🙃
I would say the opposite considering how gorgeous modern Volvo is
Such a cool car! 😎Finally a true electric cabrio!looks so good 🔥🔥🔥🙏 I Like this type of British humor like you show the trunk and look at my doors 😂😂🤣👍👍👍
Bro just walked through a brand new car all over the seats with shoes😭
It's 9k it's not his car
Its ok - its "vegan leather".
Or plastic as its known to none-idiots.

Wow that is the best infotainment console I've ever seen.
Byd crap when the battery goes flat you can't open the door
You can open the charge hatch and give it power in a minute. Job done.
@@autodigitvlogs keep.the car would rather get a 20 year old e46 320
100th anniversary!! Sticking a plastic MG badge on chinese tat does not make it an MG. At least twice the price of a much better MX5. There is a reason nobody else fits scissor doors and its not because they are hard to make. Its because you get sick of waiting for them to open. Ofcourse the lamborghini doors were light but modern doors have to withstand crashes so you cant open them manually. I googled it and the first thing that came up was someone on the MGEV forum who couldn't get into their car! Who in their right mind is going to throw 50k at a chinese EV when for the same money they could get a German sports car?
They didn't exactly make amazing cars when it was British and they went bust. What you on about. Your auto industry is dead. It has a manual open button. You can also charge it if the battery dies.
@@autodigitvlogs your ignorance is astonishing. Try looking up a J2. Just one of the many incredible sports cars they built. And built on trials and endurance races. Your average chinese EV will fail just going to the shops. As for our current automotive industry we make the BEST cars in the world. You may not be able to afford one but nobody with any status would swap a rolls Royce, Bentley, Range Rover or morgan for a cheap chinese piece of crap. And ofcourse 90% of formula 1 cars are designed and built in Britain together with the important components for indy500. And all of the reviews mention waiting for the doors is a pain and none mention a manual option. Wot u talking about?
This is a better way to get a MG. Plastic MG badge also better than the tinplate body made by British football hooligans using a dick.
@@car7productions731 Rolls, Bentley, are German. Range Rover, Indian. There is no indigenous UK motor industry other than racing.
@williampatterson3683 no excuse. Rolls and bentley are made to the same standards in British plants. Jaguar landrover still make the majority of their vehicles in the UK. For the chinese to claim 100 years of heritage in car building is a joke. There is absolutely no link between these dreadful cars and MGs.
It's good to see MG making a sports car again.
It’s just the name. All Chinese crap now.
As Matt stated there is nothing to compare it with so for under £60,000 for top spec 4wd sub 3.5 sec 0-60 with a 7 year warranty it's all good. Matbe not all great but the price and spec.
