The MG Cyber GTS Concept is more than just a Cyberster with a hard top.
On MG’s 100th anniversary, the brand took to the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed to unveil the Cyber GTS Concept – an homage to the MGC GTS Sebring. The GTS Sebring secured the best ever MG result for the 12 hour race back in 1968 in the prototype class and has been a key part of the brand’s identity. Only six examples of the MGC GTS Sebring exist and they were unrelated to any road-going sports cars.
This MG Cyber GTS Concept takes the well-received Cyberster production vehicle and gives it a fixed roof for a coupé bodystyle. The same 2+2 seating arrangement is retained here. The fastback blends its sloping roof into a small ducktail spoiler which sits just above the familiar Cyberster taillights.
That being said, the Cyber GTS Concept doesn’t look like it’s just a coupé variant of the Cyberster. The more aggressive aerowork at the rear suggests that it is aimed at some motorsport application, but we’ll have to see how the production model turns out. Another hint that it will be more track focused than the Cyberster is that it will be rear-wheel drive only, indicating only about 335hp to move around its heft.
The MG Cyber GTS Concept was shown with Jozef Kaban, Vice President of MG’s Global Design Centre and the Duke of Richmond.
Also shown was a piece of automotive art from the MG London design team called the EXE181. This was shown back in April originally but only in China. The original EXE181 was land speed record-breaking vehicle from the late 1950s.
This time it’s just a showcase that reimagines what a land-speed record breaking electric MG might look like today. It has some key features of its predecessor, such as the centre spine, the compact single-seat cabin, and a lack of shut lines. The blue and white colours represent the open skies and salt flats of Bonneville, where the land speed record was set.
