If you thought that the Cyberster two-seater roadster was the sportiest MG could go, you’re definitely wrong. The SAIC-owned brand announced the EXE181 hypercar concept for the Beijing Auto Show. The single-seater EV features an ultra-aerodynamic body and is powered by quad electric motors, promising a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in 1.9 seconds.

As suggested by its name, the concept is inspired by the MG EX181 high-speed experimental vehicle from 1959. The sleek bodywork allows an impressive aerodynamic coefficient figure of 0.181cd.

The MG EXE181 trades the supercharged 1.5-liter engine of its ancestor with a more advanced setup comprising four electric motors. The company didn’t get into specifics but mentioned a combined output of more than 1,000 hp.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
