The MG Cyberster, officially launched in India in January 2025 by MG Motor, offers an aesthetic roadster blended with optimum electric performance for luxurious lovers.
One of the most expected models from the British provider is the MG Cyberster, the launch of which in India is expected in January 2025. This electric roadster is a step forward to the future of the electric sports car market, looking back to the past and the good old-looking MG B Roadster. Launched under the luxury channel MG Select, the Cyberster is intended for the target consumer circle with a desire for a sustainably luxurious vehicle that offers responsive performance and spectacular design.
A Nod to Nostalgia
The design of the MG Cyberster is a tribute to the MG B Roadster that was popularized in the 1960s and a tribute to a rich heritage of fun in the sun motoring. The design is kept relatively low, with visible elements of a classic roadster, yet possesses the features of a sports car beloved today. The Cyberster also has scissor doors and a sleek nose, which means Fabrik expects it to be instantly recognizable in the growing electric vehicle market.
Power Meets Performance
However, there is more than what meets the eye, as the car is quite literally a Tesla, and Walt Tate’s MG Cyberster concept is powered by dual electric motors, which put out 528 bhp and 725 Nm of torque. This powerful car is capable of going from a standstill to reaching 100 km per hour in 3.2 seconds, proving that MG is serious about electric cars. The car is powered by a 77 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that allows an incredible up to 570 km range per single charge, so not only is it an elegant car, but it is also a comfortable long-distance one.
Redefining Luxury
The new model, called the Cyberster, now marks the start of MG’s move into the luxury car market via its MG Select sub-brand. The goal of this strategy is to change customers’ perception of the Indian premium car segment through the expectation of quality products and services. With experience centres planned across 12 cities, MG Select will be able to provide carefully gated opportunities for potential customers to interact with the brand offerings.
Designed for Purpose
The name Cyberster is quite appropriate, for it gives out a technological taste of the car’s mission aimed at creating purposeful technology improvements that not only offer better performance but sustainability as well. It is equipped with comforts, security, and handling capabilities, which create excitement while driving the vehicle. MG Select’s approach of combining tradition and new technologies makes Cyberster more like an elegant solution for the modern buyer who appreciates exclusivity and practicability.
A Timeless Experience
Being a concept of a roadster car, the Cyberster rewrites MG’s history and brings the brand into the 21st century. The availability of an open roof is core to its design; that is why buyers of Barracuda loved the freedom on the road as car enthusiasts. They combine a traditional design with innovative technology that creates the look of a roadster in the contemporary world of electric cars.
A Dream Realized
JSW MG Motor India’s Chief Growth Officer Gaurav Gupta framed the Cyberster beautifully when he said, “Each one of us, when we were growing up, dreamt of owning a sleek sports car—the kind that makes your pulse race and hair fly in the wind.” He said that ‘the Cyberster, with its Contessa, is the realization of this dream, blending timeless elegance, technology, and innovation.’ This vehicle embodies the past and modernity while meeting the aspirations of clients in today’s growing Indian market.
A New Chapter for MG
The unveiling of the MG Cyberster is not just about another new generation electric car for the company; it marks MG’s intentions of changing the way luxury motoring is expected in India. Launched with a progressive concept and commitment to sustainability, MG Select targets the rising niche of eco-conscious yet elaborate clients. The Cyberster is a perfect example of such a vision; it offers an exciting drive and, at the same time, pays homage to the past while looking to the future.
Therefore, there is great potential for the MG Cyberster to create some sort of sensation in the context of the Indian motor market as soon as it is launched in January 2025. In using modern technology, while trying to incorporate parts of the traditional British car design, MG Motor is not only looking to its past but to the future of luxury cars and how they can be built more sustainably. With people demanding vehicles that combine high performance with fuel efficiency, the Cyberster is a promising departure from the traditional definition of roadsters—a creation that will doubtlessly appeal to the two groups of potential customers: car aficionados and luxury buyers of the new era, respectively.
