MG Cyberster Reaches Dealerships Before July Launch
JSW MG Motor is gearing up to launch the stunning MG Cyberster in India as the first model under its new MG Select programme.
This initiative focuses on bringing fully-imported, high-end CBU (Completely Built Unit) models to Indian shores.
The Cyberster, an all-electric roadster, made its global debut in 2023 and was first showcased in India at the Bharat Mobility Expo earlier this year.
Launch Timeline and Bookings
Although an early 2025 launch was expected, MG has fast-tracked its plans. The Cyberster is now set to hit Indian roads in the first week of July 2025. Pre-bookings are already open for a token amount of Rs 51,000 via MG Select dealerships or the official MG website.
Ahead of deliveries, MG has started sending the Cyberster to select showrooms across India. A video on the YouTube channel Automobile With Bruce showed a bright red Cyberster arriving at a dealership on a trailer, attracting plenty of attention.
The Cyberster's design takes inspiration from the iconic MG B Roadster of the 1960s, combining retro styling with futuristic elements and advanced technology.
Performance
While MG has not officially shared the India-specific technical details, the Cyberster is likely to match the UK version. In the UK, it comes in two variants—Trophy and GT.
Single-Motor Trophy Variant This version uses a 64 kWh battery and a rear-mounted motor producing 340 bhp and 475 Nm of torque. It can sprint from 0-100 kmph in just 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 193 kmph. The WLTP-rated range is an impressive 507 km.
Dual-Motor GT Variant The more powerful GT gets a 77 kWh battery and two motors delivering 503 bhp and 725 Nm of torque. It offers all-wheel drive and a range of 443 km.
The Cyberster marks MG's bold entry into the high-performance EV space in India, promising thrilling performance blended with timeless design.

'There's a lot being said about me, most of you don't know the full story. If ...,' says Soham Parekh, the techie accused of working for multiple companies simultaneously
Soham Parekh An Indian software engineer, Soham Parekh , is at the center of controversy following allegations of moonlighting at multiple US startups simultaneously. The accusations surfaced when Suhail Doshi , co-founder and former CEO of Mixpanel, publicly called out Parekh on Twitter, warning startup founders about his alleged deceptive practices. Doshi claimed that Parekh, who holds a Master's degree in computer science from Georgia Tech and a Bachelor's from the University of Mumbai, was secretly employed at three to four startups at once, targeting Y Combinator-backed companies. Doshi revealed that Parekh briefly worked at his company, Playground AI, but was terminated within a week after his alleged duplicity was uncovered. Doshi further escalated the issue by sharing Parekh's CV online, labeling it 'probably 90 per cent fake' and listing companies such as Dynamo AI, Union AI, Synthesia, Alan AI, and Fleet AI where Parekh allegedly held concurrent roles. Doshi stated he verified his claims with over six companies before going public. Soham Parekh responds to Suhail Doshi's post 'exposing' him In response, Parekh took to Twitter to address the allegations, defending his passion for building technology. Responding to Suhail Doshi's post, Soham Parekh wrote, "There's a lot being said about me right now, and most of you don't know the full story. If there's one thing to know about me, it's that I love to build. That's it. I've been isolated, written off, and shut out by nearly everyone I've known and every company I've worked at. But building is the only thing I've ever truly known, and it's what I'll keep doing," he wrote. Parekh claimed he has faced isolation and rejection from companies and peers but announced he had signed an exclusive deal as a founding engineer with a single company in the video AI space, set to launch later this month. 'I'm pissed. And I've got something to prove,' he added. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo The controversy has sparked debates in the tech community about moonlighting, ethics, and transparency in the startup ecosystem.
