MG shows off its first electric convertible – and it costs just $115k
The fit and finish of the Cyberster, the quality of materials and the level of appointments all befit an upmarket sports car. But can the driving experience match up?
The electrically operated scissor doors on the MG Cyberster have garnered it much attention. Ted Airey
Let’s start by saying that scissor doors – which open vertically – are silly. Same with butterfly, dihedral, gullwing, suicide, canopy and all other doors that aren’t hinged at the front to swing outwards rather than upwards.
The best way to design a car door was arrived at very early in the history of the automobile and all those Lambos, McLarens, Paganis and now MGs with their fancy means of entry and exit are, generally speaking, adding weight, cost, complexity and inconvenience.
