JSW MG Motor India unveiled the MG Cyberster electric sports car at the Bharat Mobility Expo. The official pricing is set to be announced in March, with an expected starting price of around Rs 50 lakh. Ahead of its official launch, the Cyberster has set a new record as the fastest car to complete the 0-100 kmph sprint at Sambhar Salt Lake in Rajasthan, achieving this in just 3.2 seconds. This accomplishment has been officially recognized by the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records.
The Cyberster will be the first model under the newly introduced ‘MG Select’ sub-brand, which will focus on new energy vehicles (NEVs) such as hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and fully electric models. These MG Select outlets will offer both sales and service facilities, featuring a distinct dealership design and branding.
In terms of design, the Cyberster sports sleek LED headlights with DRLs, a sculpted bonnet, and a split air intake. The rear features distinctive arrow-shaped tail lights and a divided diffuser, while the side profile is characterized by sharp lines, aerodynamic contours, and diamond-cut alloy wheels ranging from 19 to 20 inches. A standout feature is its scissor doors, which add a dramatic touch to its styling.
Inside, the cabin is equipped with a futuristic triple-screen setup, including a vertically stacked infotainment system angled towards the driver. Key features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, in-built 5G connectivity, connected car technology, wireless charging, dual-zone climate control, ventilated seats, and a premium Bose audio system. Additionally, the car comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, regenerative braking, multiple airbags, and Level-2 ADAS. The scissor doors are fitted with radar sensors to ensure safety while opening upwards and outwards.
The Cyberster will be powered by a 77kWh battery pack, measuring just 110mm in thickness. It features dual oil-cooled electric motors, one on each axle, delivering a combined output of 510hp and 725Nm of torque. The all-wheel-drive (AWD) setup enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 kmph in just 3.2 seconds. MG claims a maximum driving range of 580km on a single charge (as per the CLTC cycle). The EV is equipped with a front double-wishbone suspension and a rear five-link independent suspension, ensuring dynamic handling. A balanced 50:50 weight distribution further enhances stability at high speeds.
