Driven by the Turner twins, the MG Cyberster commenced its journey from London’s Westminster Bridge, UK to Shanghai, China, in September, 2023. The British identical twins, Ross and Hugo Turner, are professional adventurers and having rowed across the Atlantic Ocean and traversed Greenland’s Ice Cap, they are looking to add another feather to their cap with this unique journey.

Ross Turner said: “Our mission is to explore the world with purpose and innovation. Our visit in the Cyberster to various countries in the Middle East is a thrilling chapter in the story of this 10,000-mile global road trip. We're excited to share this experience with communities and enthusiasts, helping to foster a new era of electrifying exploration.” The twins’ mission is to help people learn about MG’s world through new technology and purposeful expeditions.

The Cyberster will be touring the Middle East from January 14th until February 19th, delving into the cultural splendour of all the Gulf countries along the way. The road trip itinerary will include special stopovers at local landmarks in major cities in Saudi Arabia (Riyadh and Jeddah), Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi), and Oman.

This journey will also stand as a milestone as the MG brand pays homage to its 100 Year anniversary while highlighting the vintage-inspired Cyberster's capabilities to communities and enthusiasts across the region.”

The Middle East holds a pivotal place in MG's global activation strategy, and the arrival of the MG Cyberster signifies the brand's resolute commitment to introducing avant-garde electric mobility solutions to diverse markets worldwide. With the MG Cyberster leading the charge, the brand, which is revered for its rich heritage of innovation and 2-door sportscars, envisions the cultivation of a global community, a world where electrifying technology converges with environmental responsibility.
