MG has recreated the legendary MG B GT in 21st Century EV form with a coupe version of its Cyberster electric roadster revealed at this year Festival of Speed in the United Kingdom.
While currently just a concept under the working title of Cyber GTS, the new electric sportscar is based on the Cyberster roadster which is available as a two seater convertible. The Cyber GTS is a four seater with a fixed roof, but retains nearly all of the roadster's looks along with its scissor opening doors.
The addition of a fixed roof creates a sleeker look and accentuates the coupe's rear haunches as the profile kicks up into a lip.
