MG Cyberster first drive: better than a Boxster?

MG Cyberster first drive review

This isn’t another MG-branded Taxi. MG sports cars are BACK! Or are they?

We've set out to test the capabilities of the new MG Cyberster to see if this is a fitting return to form for the once-popular British sports car manufacturer, or whether it’s all show and no go.

The 2024 Cyberster blasts into the electric age with a choice of all-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive versions (named GT and Trophy respectively), but soon after driving both of them, Sam Sheehan chooses a clear winner as his recommendation - and it might not be what you expect.
