MG Select, the luxury arm of JSW MG Motor India, unveiled the name of its maiden car, ‘MG Cyberster’, named as the world’s fastest electric roadster. The EV is scheduled for a debut and launch in India in January 2025. Inspired by the classic MG B Roadster, the MG Cyberster blends design with futuristic technology, says the company.

The company says MG Cyberster’s butterfly doors are a striking feature that give the car a sporty flair. “High on performance, the MG Cyberster offers fast acceleration and precise handling. Its sleek silhouette and scissor doors embody the best of both worlds—nostalgia for MG’s rich motoring heritage and a bold vision for the future,” the company states in a release.

Emphasising the MG Cyberster’s revival, Gaurav Gupta, chief growth officer, JSW MG Motor India says, “Many of us dream of owning a sleek sports car—the kind that makes your heart race, your hair fly in the wind, and lets you relive the romance and thrill we have all seen in iconic movies and on racetracks. The MG Cyberster brings that dream to life. It encapsulates the thrill and charm of a bygone era while appealing to the discerning tastes of new-age luxury customers in India."

The company says the car is crafted for customers who prioritise purposeful experience over extravagance. "With a focus on sustainability, it combines eco-friendly mobility with timeless design and plans to set up dedicated centres in 12 cities."

In September, JSW MG Motor India introduced the Windsor EV, priced at ₹9.99 lakh with a battery-as-a-service (BaaS) model. This approach lowers the initial cost by excluding battery ownership, but users will pay ₹3.5 per km for battery usage. In 2023, MG Motor India sold 9,513 electric cars, securing a 12% share of the EV market. The Windsor EV’s running cost under the Baas scheme is approximately ₹6,750 per month with home charging, according to Parth Jindal, director of JSW MG Motor India.
