The 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed will celebrate 100 years of MG, with the new Cyberster electric sports car featuring on the event's central sculpture.
It's the first time the sculpture, which will again be designed by British artist and designer Gerry Judah, will carry an electric car since its inception in 1997.
The Festival of Speed also announced its theme for 2024 as Horseless to Hybrid, which will be represented on the sculpture by the Cyberster.
Festival founder the Duke of Richmond said the theme "recognises the advances in technology and power that have shaped motorsport over the last 130 years”.
He added: "Following the world debut of the striking Cyberster at the 2023 Festival of Speed, we are delighted that MG is returning to Goodwood this year to celebrate their centenary in style with their first central feature.
"It is set to be a fitting tribute to the first 100 years of one of Britain’s oldest and most popular manufacturers, which has enjoyed a long association with Goodwood.”
MG was founded in Oxford in 1924 but since 2007 has been owned by Chinese company SAIC, which owns other brands including IM and Maxus.
"The Festival of Speed is the perfect occasion to celebrate our heritage in our home market, where the MG story began, whilst also providing a perfect platform from which to demonstrate the dynamic future of the brand on a world stage," said Guy Pigounakis, MG's UK commercial director.

No mention of the 911ST that was rumoured to be revealed at Goodwood, has its launch been put back?
