The MG E-Motion is taking shape, with new prototype drawings of the Tesla-fighting EV hitting the web ahead of an expected 2021 launch.
The E-Motion is the Chinese brand's take on an electric coupe - a slinky, two-door design that promises blistering performance and impressive range.
First revealed in concept from back in 2017, the E-Motion was first scheduled for launch in 2020, but the smart money is on a 2021 debut for the all-electric speedster.
And if it lives up to that concept's promise - in sad news, the skyward-opening front doors appear to have been scrapped - then it might just prove worth the wait.
While light on the tech details, MG has promised the E-Motion is promised to deliver a range of around 500kms, as well as a impressive sprint to 100km/h of just 4.0secs.
MG hyped up the electric coupe as an "exciting grand tourer concept vehicle features 'Black Technology', and is based on SAIC Motor's all-electric platform" that "represents an exciting and bold future for the brand".

Andrew Chesterton should probably hate cars. From his hail-damaged Camira that looked like it had spent a hard life parked at the end of Tiger Woods' personal driving range, to the Nissan Pulsar Reebok that shook like it was possessed by a particularly mean-spirited demon every time he dared push past 40km/h, his personal car history isn't exactly littered with gold.
But that seemingly endless procession of rust-savaged hate machines taught him something even more important; that cars are more than a collection of nuts, bolts and petrol. They're your ticket to freedom, a way to unlock incredible experiences, rolling invitations to incredible adventures. They have soul.
And so, somehow, the car bug still bit. And it bit hard.
When "Chesto" started his journalism career with News Ltd's Sunday and Daily Telegraph newspapers, he covered just about everything, from business to real estate, courts to crime, before settling into state political reporting at NSW Parliament House.
But the automotive world's siren song soon sounded again, and he begged anyone who would listen for the opportunity to write about cars. Eventually they listened, and his career since has seen him filing car news, reviews and features for TopGear, Wheels, Motor and, of course, CarsGuide, as well as many, many others.
More than a decade later, and the car bug is yet to relinquish its toothy grip. And if you ask Chesto, he thinks it never will.
