British-born MG Motor has unveiled its show-stopping EXE181 concept car at this year’s prestigious Beijing Auto Show, highlighting the brand's rich heritage and relentless pursuit of cutting-edge technology. This reveal of this spectacular supercar concept comes during MG's centennial celebrations, showcasing the brand's continued commitment to pushing boundaries globally and regionally.
Unveiled only weeks after MG's new Cyberster model journeyed across the Middle East, the EXE181 concept car is further evidence of the brand's desire to embrace the future of electric mobility. Similar to the Cyberster electric sportscar, which made its debut as a concept in 2021, the EXE181 represents a leap forward into a new era of automotive innovation and excellence.
Developed by the brand's UK Design Centre, the EXE181 concept car pays tribute to the legendary EX181, a vehicle that set a world speed record for its category in 1957 that still stands to this day. This historic achievement by Sir Stirling Moss endures as testament to MG's engineering prowess and commitment to excellence. The EXE181 takes clear inspiration from the EX181's design, featuring aerodynamic shapes to reduce drag and enhance efficiency. Its sleek and sophisticated exterior showcases MG's brand design passion for sports, innovative spirit, and the relentless pursuit of dreams.
The concept car is equipped with a new high-performance three-electric system, including a centrally mounted semi-solid-state battery and high-speed electric motor, representing MG's tireless pursuit of cutting-edge technology. Engineered to defy limits, the EXE181 aims for a top speed of 415 km/h. With a drag coefficient of 0.181, it also prioritises efficiency, meeting key demands of the new energy era.
The interior of the EXE181 reflects its purposeful design, with a lightweight and compact structure designed for straight-line speed. The front cockpit opens entirely forward, and the seats pay homage to the original British TARTAN design, combining tradition with modernity. Furthermore, the EXE181 features a unique UI design inspired by aircraft cockpits, incorporating a streamlined steering wheel display and Head-Up Display (HUD) to enhance the driving experience and focus.
Tom Lee, Managing Director of MG Motor Middle East, said: "The unveiling of the EXE181 concept is yet another clear demonstration of the eye-catching progress that the MG brand is making both globally and regionally. This concept car embodies MG's core values of innovation and design excellence, showcasing our commitment to pushing boundaries and shaping the future of automotive technology."

For more than 20 years, the Cayenne has been characterised by its ability to provide the broad range of qualities between characteristic Porsche driving performance, excellent comfort in everyday driving, and great capability when driving off-road. The future models of the SUV will seamlessly continue this success story, retaining all of the car’s familiar features.
“The Cayenne has always defined the sports car in its segment. In the middle of the decade, the fourth generation will set standards in the segment as an electric SUV,” said Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. At the same time, into the next decade our customers will still be able to choose from a wide range of powerful and efficient combustion and hybrid models.
"The third generation of the Cayenne will be further upgraded and will continue to be offered alongside the fourth, all-electric generation".
The current Cayenne generation, which last year was given one of the most extensive product upgrades in the history of Porsche, will be further developed with major technological investment in the future. Here the developers will be focusing, among other things, on the powertrains, in particular on improving the efficiency of the V8 developed by Porsche and built at the Zuffenhausen engine plant. Extensive technical measures will ensure that the twin-turbo engine is ready to comply with future legislative requirements.
In a bold move against the prevailing headwinds in the electric vehicle (EV) industry, VinFast, the young Vietnamese EV manufacturer, is forging ahead with its ambitious global expansion plans. While major players like Apple have recently abandoned their decade-long pursuit of an electric vehicle, and others are scaling back their ambitions, VinFast remains undeterred. Having already established a presence in the U.S., Canada, and Southeast Asia, the company is now setting its sights on the Middle Eastern market.
Hyundai is set to debut its three-row electric SUV later this year, a move that signifies the automaker's bold step into the large electric vehicle (EV) market. This new SUV, anticipated to be named the Ioniq 9, is poised to be Hyundai’s equivalent to the Kia EV9, offering a spacious and eco-friendly alternative to its popular Palisade.
