- MG Cyberster wins ‘Best Sports Car’ at the 2024 Best Cars of the Year Awards
- EV roadster celebrated for outstanding performance, style and sustainability
- MG Cyberster showcased at The British Motor Show in Farnborough, England, from 15-18 August
MG’s all-electric roadster, the Cyberster, has been awarded the title of ‘Best Sports Car’ as it took up its position on the Best Cars of the Year stand at The British Motor Show, which ran from 15-18 August.
The MG Cyberster was praised by the international judging panel for its innovative design, strong sustainability credentials, and electric performance, making it a standout winner in its category.
The Cyberster also impressed with its high level of comfort and its technologically advanced cabin, featuring a wrap-around three-screen cockpit that places the driver at the centre of a contemporary, cutting-edge experience.
Commenting on the award, Mike Rutherford, Founder and Chair of the Best Cars of the Year Awards, said: “Those who have already seen the bright yellow Cyberster on the Best COTY stand on the opening day of The British Motor Show this week will confirm the car somehow looks even better, classier and more handsome in the flesh than it does in photographs.
Starting at under £55,000 it offers truly unbeatable value for money. It looks like a supercar – but is in the same price league as some comparatively dull hatchback EVs from rival manufacturers.”
David Allison, Head of Product and Planning at MG Motor UK, said: “The journey of the MG Cyberster, from concept to reality, has been met with overwhelming excitement. The positive reception from both the media and our customers has been incredible. We’re honoured to receive such high praise from the ‘Best Cars of the Year’ judging panel.”
The MG Cyberster combines uncompromising power and performance with a refined design that honours the brand’s sporting heritage while embracing cutting-edge EV technology.
Available in both single and dual motor configurations, the Cyberster delivers exceptional performance, with the dual motor Cyberster GT boasting an impressive 503 PS (375 kW) and 725 Nm (535 lb ft) of torque.
Multiple drive modes offer a customisable driving experience, from relaxed motorway cruising in Comfort mode to a thrilling drive with enhanced power in Sport or Supersport mode. The all-wheel-drive GT accelerates from 0 – 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds, making it MG’s fastest production car to date.
The 77 kWh battery delivers up to 316 miles of range (276 miles for the GT), with rapid charging up to 150 kW enabling a charge of 10-80% to be delivered in only 38 minutes.
Starting at £54,995 OTR, the MG Cyberster comes with a comprehensive 7-year, 80,000-mile warranty and is available at select dealers across the UK.
