The Cyberster is the fastest MG ever and is the first convertible EV on sale in India. We get a taster at the Buddh International Circuit.
There’s been a lot of buzz around the MG Cyberster ever since it was first showcased at Auto Expo 2025. We’ve now finally got a chance to experience the first convertible EV in India around a race track and here’s what we gathered.
MG Cyberster: Exterior design and engineering – 9/10
Scissor doors, classic roadster silhouette make it stand out; soft top roof opens/closes in 10 sec and comes in two colours.
MG says the Cyberster is the spiritual successor to its MG B roadster from the 1960s but their designs couldn’t stray further. The Cyberster has smooth lines and a cohesive design, with the stand out element of course being the Lamborghini-style, electrically operated scissor doors. These alone are sure to be a big draw for potential customers. The long bonnet also gives it the classic roadster silhouette and it’s an aero efficient design, with a drag coefficient of just 0.26cd. The 20-inch alloys with polished edges also look attractive, with the only eyesore being the arrow-like taillights which just don’t fit with the rest of the car.
Another USP of the Cyberster of course is the fact that it’s a two-seat, convertible. The fabric soft top roof is said to take 10 seconds to open and close and can be operated at speeds of up to 50 kph. There are four colour options to choose from – Red and yellow which come with a black roof and grey and beige, which come with a red roof.
MG Cyberster: Performance and refinement – 9/10
Packs in 510hp, has AWD and does 0-100kph in a claimed 3.2sec; at 110mm, has the thinnest battery pack in the industry.
Here’s some stats about the MG Cyberster – 510hp, 725nm, 0-100 in 3.2 sec and a top speed of 200kph – which makes it the fastest MG ever. It gets a dual-motor setup, one on each axle, which enables AWD (there is a RWD version on sale abroad) and that’s good because it packs some serious performance. There’s also three drive modes and a boost mode to play around with.
We got a chance to launch the Cyberster on track and do a 0-200kph run. With the sharpest ‘Super sport’ drive mode selected, the Cyberster launched without much drama with the AWD system keeping things in check. The response, like from most EVs, is instantaneous and the Cyberster feels quick! And although the claimed 0-100kph time is 3.2sec, we managed a VBox time of 3.69sec, albeit on a slightly damp track.
The dual-motor setup draws power from a 77kWh Nickel-Managanese-Cobalt battery placed under the floor. This battery pack is said to be the slimmest in the world, at only 110mm, which helps with the packaging and to lower the centre of gravity in this low slung sportscar.
MG Cyberster: Range – 8/10
77kWh battery has a claimed range of 580km.
Since this was a track drive, we didn’t get a chance to test the MG Cyberster’s range. However, this AWD version with the 77kWh battery is claimed to do 580km on the MIDC cycle. As for charging, it is capable of being…
