MG is now owned by SAIC Motor Corporation. Known for its roadsters and sports cars, MG has entered the electric era with the MG Cyberster.

The chassis tuning of the Cyberster is performed by the Italian DANISI team from the former F1 Ferrari team. The power train of the special edition has not been revealed.
