JSW MG Motor India has officially pulled the covers off the MG Cyberster electric sportscar, and trust me, it’s a game-changer. Priced at an introductory ₹72.49 lakh (ex-showroom, India) for folks who pre-booked, and ₹74.99 lakh for new orders, the Cyberster isn’t just another EV. It’s a bold statement, bringing a whole new level of premium, performance-driven electric fun under MG’s fresh ‘MG Select’ luxury brand.

This car isn’t just transportation; it’s an event. Imagine classic roadster charm mixed with futuristic electric power – that’s the Cyberster. In a market where SUVs and sedans usually rule, MG is giving us a taste of pure, unadulterated electric thrill. And honestly, it’s about time India got something this cool!

A Design That Commands Attention

From the second you see the Cyberster, you know it’s special. It clearly takes cues from the old-school MGB roadsters of the 1960s, but it’s totally reimagined for the electric age. That low-slung look, the aggressive front with those sharp LED lights, and that distinctive back – it all screams aerodynamic efficiency, cutting through the air like a hot knife through butter.

But here’s the real showstopper: those electric scissor doors. Yeah, you heard that right – “Lambo-style” doors that open and close in just five seconds with a touch, even with radar sensors for safety. Talk about making an entrance! And if you love the wind in your hair, the soft-top roof can retract even when you’re driving up to 45 kmph. This car truly promises an open-air drive you won’t find anywhere else.

Under the Hood: Electrifying Performance

Looks aren’t everything, right? Good thing the Cyberster backs up its stunning looks with some serious muscle. The version coming to India gets a powerful dual-motor, all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup. We’re talking a whopping 510 bhp and 725 Nm of torque. What does that mean for you? Well, it means going from 0 to 100 kmph in a mind-blowing 3.2 seconds. That puts it right up there with some of the best sports cars in the world!

All this power comes from a super thin 77 kWh battery pack – it’s only 110mm thick, one of the slimmest around. This smart design helps give the car a perfect 50:50 weight distribution, which is key for a performance machine. MG says it’ll give you a CLTC range of 580 km on a single charge, which should ease any range anxiety. Plus, it’s got a double-wishbone front suspension and a five-link rear suspension, tuned for a great balance of sharp handling and comfortable ride, even getting input from an ex-Formula 1 engineer, Marco Fainello. How cool is that?

A Cabin of the Future

Slide into the Cyberster’s cabin, and you’ll feel like you’ve jumped into a sci-fi movie. It’s all about the driver, with a cool triple-screen setup: a 10.25-inch digital display for your info, flanked by two 7-inch screens, plus another independent 7-inch touchscreen just for infotainment. And it’s all wrapped in premium vegan leather and Dinamica suede – feels super luxurious but still sporty.

You won’t be roughing it either. It’s got dual-zone climate control, heated and cooled power-adjustable seats, ambient lighting, wireless phone charging, and an 8-speaker Bose audio system that even has noise cancellation. Of course, since it’s a two-seater roadster, don’t expect a ton of storage, but that’s totally fine for a car like this.

Safety and Technology

MG hasn’t skimped on safety. The Cyberster boasts a tough H-shaped structure for great rollover protection. You’ll find multiple airbags, electronic stability control (ESC), and powerful Brembo 4-piston brake calipers to bring you to a quick stop. On top of that, it has Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and a real-time Driver Monitoring System for extra peace of mind.

A New Chapter for MG in India

Launching the Cyberster through the special ‘MG Select’ dealerships really shows MG’s commitment to higher-end customers in India. This car, along with the recent M9 electric MPV, is helping kick off their new luxury line. With its unique blend of electric sportscar thrill and a pretty competitive price, the Cyberster is set to make its mark, appealing to anyone who wants both incredible performance and a greener ride.

Good news for those eagerly waiting: deliveries for the MG Cyberster are scheduled to start from August 10, 2025. As India continues its journey into the electric future, the MG Cyberster stands out as an incredibly exciting sign of things to come – a future where power, style, and eco-consciousness beautifully merge. It’s not just a car; it’s an experience, promising to make every drive an absolute adventure.

So, what do you think of this electric beast? Is it the car you’ve been waiting for?
