The Morgan Supersport made its exclusive debut at the Louwman Museum, the only place in the world outside the Malvern factory where this special car could be admired. This new flagship model from Morgan combines the best of both worlds: classic craftsmanship and modern engineering. With its light weight, powerful six-in-line engine and tightly optimised driving characteristics, the Supersport is the epitome of pure driving pleasure. This is Morgan in the 21st century.

The Supersport

The Supersport may look like an icon from days gone by, but under the skin it is totally contemporary. It sits on the all-new CXV aluminium platform, which is 10% stiffer than the Plus Six’s CX platform and provides even sharper handling. Weighing just 1,170 kg and with a BMW B58 3.0-litre six-in-line under the bonnet, this Morgan delivers 335 hp of pure driving experience. With that, it shoots to 100km/h in 3.9 seconds. The engine – a familiar powerplant from the BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra – is mated to a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, making the Supersport shift smoothly and quickly.

Timeless with a modern twist

Morgan is known for its unique style and the Supersport proudly continues that line. The hand-formed aluminium body retains the iconic shapes but adds aerodynamic optimisations, such as 5% lower drag and 20% less lift.

What makes this Morgan extra special is the ability to switch between two faces: a removable carbon hardtop for a sleek coupé look or a folding mohair softtop for the ultimate open driving experience. Morgan is also introducing a full boot for the first time in years, making the car just a little more practical for longer journeys.

Luxury and craftsmanship go hand in hand

Inside, the Supersport combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology. The handmade wooden panels are available in 11 different finishes and the analogue gauges are in Morgan’s own ‘HFS’ font, inspired by the first Morgan logo from 1909.

Thanks to the Sennheiser audio system, Bluetooth connectivity and wireless charging, the Supersport feels contemporary without compromising its nostalgic look. Every detail has been thought through, with minimalist and functional design in mind.

Pure and unfiltered driving pleasure

Morgan is not about the highest horsepower or the fastest lap times, but about feel, balance and connection between driver and machine. The improved steering, which is 13% faster than the Plus Six and the stiffer suspension make for a more direct and precise driving experience.

For those who want even more control, the Dynamic Handling Pack offers adjustable Nitron dampers and a limited-slip differential. The standard Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres provide excellent grip, so you can enjoy driving in the wet too.

Price and exclusivity

Like every Morgan, the Supersport is hand-built in England and can be fully customised. With its light weight, classic design and modern performance, the Supersport is a unique driver’s car that combines the best of the past and the future. The starting price is €162,950 and first deliveries are expected later this year. Morgan also comes with a unique launch model, the Morgan Supersport First Glance. This model has a starting price of €190,450.
