JSW MG Motor India’s newly launched luxury brand channel, MG SELECT, has added another milestone to MG’s legacy of innovation and excellence. The MG Cyberster, the world’s fastest MG roadster, set a historic record as the first-ever performance feat at Salt Lake in India.
Equipped with electric scissor doors, the Cyberster achieved the fastest 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 3.2 seconds at Sambhar Salt Lake, Rajasthan. This achievement has been officially recognized and verified by the Asia Book of Records and the India Book of Records.
Set by Mira Erda, first Indian Female Racer to win internationally in Formula 4, the record builds upon MG’s established legacy of innovation and excellence. The first record breaker – the ‘Magic Midget’ set a land speed record in 1931 and became the first 750cc car to exceed the speed of 100mph, hitting a speed of 103.13 mph. In 1957, the EX181 (based on the MG A) with 1489 cc engine achieved a top speed of 245.64 mph at the Bonneville Salt Flats. Later EX181 returned to create another top speed of 254.91 mph at the same place with an enhanced 1506 cc supercharged, twin cam engine in 1959.
With lightning-fast acceleration and a sleek silhouette, the MG Cyberster’s iconic design pays homage to MG’s storied heritage while redefining the modern roadster standard. Featuring an aerodynamic Kammback design, the electric vehicle comes with the slimmest 77 kWh battery pack, with a thickness of just 110 mm. MG Cyberster is a powerhouse of elegance, sportiness, and innovation.
Seeking inspiration from the iconic two-door MG B Roadster of the 1960s, the MG Cyberster blends power, precision, and style to redefine sportscars for the discerning Indian customers. Tuned to perfection by former Italian F1 engineer Marco Fainello, the MG Cyberster delivers exhilarating acceleration and deceleration, this roadster is a testament for elegance, performance, and innovation, setting new benchmarks while embodying the perfect balance of sophistication and sportiness.
