MG unveils electric roadster with scissor doors

KOLKATA: JSW MG Motor unveiled the all-electric roadster that returns to the British motoring heritage and sporting roots through the lens of new-age luxury and high performance.

Company officials said the car is a modern interpretation of traditional roadster proportions: a long, sculpted bonnet, rearward cabin, and pronounced rear haunches that suggest latent power and evoke a sense of classic rear-wheel-drive performance. The electric scissor doors accentuate the car’s futuristic identity.

The Cyberster’s form was shaped from hand-drawn sketches to VR-based modeling and physical clay sculpting. The front fascia, with its open-lamp expression and split grille-inspired intake, connects to MG’s heritage while embracing sleek aerodynamics.

The low nose guides airflow smoothly, while the Kammback tail and rear light bar ensure both visual drama and aerodynamic efficiency. Inside, the triple-screen wraparound cockpit and Y-shaped sports seats create a space that’s immersive, ergonomic, and emotionally resonant, a true driver-centric sanctuary.

"Every design decision was intentional, culminating in a roadster that captures nostalgia, innovation, and the thrill of pure electric motoring. With its soft-top convertible roof and Kammback tail, the design pays homage to the classic MG B, while embracing a future-forward, tech-driven aesthetic tailored to the evolved customer," an official said.

Performance-wise, the Cyberster's dual-motor powertrain produces 510 PS and 725 Nm of torque, achieving 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. The car is tuned by Formula 1 engineer Marco Fainello.
