The world’s first all-electric convertible sports car, MG Cyberster, claims internationally renowned Red Dot ‘Product Design’ award

It’s especially fitting as the brand celebrates its centenary this year, moving from the iconic British sports cars to more recently Chinese hatchbacks and EVs.

MG New Zealand’s Country Manager, Arek Zywot ,said the Cyberster is a design that better represents where MG stands today, and in the direction it will head in the future.
“The Cyberster pays respects to 100 years of MG creating vehicles that people love to drive. It is a significant step in unlocking our growth as a brand that brings affordable cars in every segment. That message reaches our customers and fans.”

Zywot expresses his enthusiasm following the arrival of Cyberster test cars in Australia ahead of its launch later this year.

“The arrival of Cyberster in New Zealand will deliver the ultimate in exhilarating, top-down  and emissions-free sports car motoring.”

The Red Dot Award is one of the world’s longest-standing design competitions. First presented in 1955 as Design Innovations, the Red Dot Award has been titled as such since 2000. Each year, a jury of circa 50 internationally renowned experts select the best designs across three categories: Product Design, Brands & Communication Design, and Design Concept.

The Cyberster will join the international and local award-winning MG4 when it debuts in Kiwi showrooms later this year
