Verdict

At RM299,900 against RM698,000, the MG Cyberster is the shockingly cheaper two-seat rear-drive sports car here, and its 77.0 kWh battery gives it 508 km of EV range. The Toyota GR Supra answers with harder numbers for pace: 383 hp, 4.4 seconds to 100 km/h and 250 km/h, versus the MG’s 338 hp, 5.0 seconds and 195 km/h. For Malaysia, the MG also has lower annual road tax and a longer warranty, while the Supra keeps the manual gearbox and petrol straight-six appeal.

Cyberster

Pick the MG Cyberster if you want the open-top EV, much lower road tax and 508 km of claimed range for far less money.

GR Supra

Pick the Toyota GR Supra if you want the quicker rear-drive coupe, a manual gearbox and the higher 250 km/h top speed.
