Sports cars haven't disappeared; for many buyers, they're simply harder to get their hands on.

 

At one end of the market, you have the premium brands—Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, etc. There are also high-performance models from Japan and a new wave of Chinese electric supercars. At the other end of the market, mainstream automakers have largely shifted their focus to SUVs and crossovers, leaving a noticeable gap once occupied by affordable coupes and roadsters.

 

That's where a car like the MG Cyberster stands out. It aims to bring back that formula with an electric sports car that's dramatic to look at without venturing into supercar territory.
