MG Cyberster Named ‘Best Sports Car’ at 2024 Best Cars of the Year Awards

MG Motor’s all-electric Cyberster roadster has been given the title of ‘Best Sports Car’ at the 2024 Best Cars of the Year Awards. This recognition means that the Cyberster will be celebrated at The British Motor Show, running from 15th -18th August, where it will be displayed on the Best Cars of the Year stand.

The international judging panel commended the MG Cyberster for its groundbreaking design, strong sustainability focus, and impressive electric performance. These qualities set it apart as a clear winner in its category.

The Cyberster also gained attention for its high level of comfort and its state-of-the-art interior, which features a wrap-around three-screen cockpit, creating a modern and immersive driving experience that puts the driver at the heart of the action.

Available in both single and dual motor configurations, the Cyberster delivers exceptional performance. The dual motor Cyberster GT, for example, boasts an impressive 503PS (375kW) and 725Nm (535 lb ft) of torque.

With multiple driving modes, the Cyberster offers a tailored driving experience—from relaxed motorway cruising in Comfort mode to a more exciting drive with enhanced power in Sport or Supersport mode. The all-wheel-drive GT accelerates from 0-62mph in just 3.2 seconds, making it MG’s fastest production car to date.

Fitted with a 77kWh battery, the Cyberster offers up to 316 miles of range (276 miles for the GT), and supports rapid charging up to 150kW, allowing a 10-80% charge in just 38 minutes.

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.”
