It is capable of topping up at 144kW on a DC charger, for a 10 to 80 per cent charge time of 40 minutes, with a slow-charging capability of 11kW (for what the brand says is a slow-charge time of nine hours from empty to max).

The Cyberster is available in five colours including white, silver, grey, red and yellow, with the choice of either a white/grey or black/red interior theme. White, silver, and grey cars can additionally be chosen with the option of a red soft-top instead of the standard black one.

Design wise the Cyberster is said to incorporate elements of its MGB predecessor thanks to its set-back cockpit, long bonnet, and short boot lid. Size wise it is closer to a current BMW Z4, however, and it weighs in at 1985kg making it very much a product of the electric era.

Equipment includes 20-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, sports seats in a mix of synthetic suede and leather trim, a Nappa leather steering wheel, a 10.25-inch digital dash with dual 7.0-inch screens on either side and a 7.0-inch central multimedia screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, built-in sat-nav, eight-speaker Bose audio, dual-zone climate control, keyless entry, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, electrically actuated ‘scissor’ doors, and even a vehicle-to-load discharging system.

The Cyberster’s boot measures 249 litres and it has a repair kit in lieu of a spare wheel. Additionally, it has a full array of active safety equipment.

On the performance front it features Brembo front brakes, launch control, as well as four regenerative braking modes and a single-pedal driving mode.

In the UK and China, the Cyberster is also available in a more affordable rear-wheel-drive layout at the equivalent of a roughly $10,000 discount, but the local division confirmed the Cyberster would stick to all-wheel drive only for the time being with the rear-drive potentially being considered at a later date.

The same was said about the hard-top Coupe GTS which was shown at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier this year, should that variant make it to production.

The brand also confirmed around 30 per cent of the initial shipment of Cybersters bound for Australia was already sold via customer pre-order (around fifty units), and that supply was not constrained by the factory.
