The Morgan Motor Company has been crafting distinctive sports cars since 1909, and its latest masterpiece, the Supersport, embodies a seamless blend of heritage and modern innovation. Built on the newly developed CXV-aluminum platform, the Supersport benefits from enhanced torsional rigidity, refined steering, and an improved suspension system, delivering a more engaging driving experience. The elegant aluminum bodywork stays true to Morgan’s signature style, while under the bonnet, a BMW-sourced B58 TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine generates 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. Paired with an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, this powerhouse allows the Supersport to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds, reaching a top speed of 166 mph.
Designed with aerodynamic efficiency in mind, the car features a long rear body, an imposing front with a horseshoe grille, and a lower gray splitter, while the removal of bonnet louvers optimizes airflow. The exterior is further enhanced by interchangeable roof options, allowing drivers to choose between a carbon-fiber hard top for all-weather resilience or a mohair soft top for open-air enjoyment. Attention to weight distribution and power-to-weight ratio has resulted in a curb weight of just 2,579 pounds, making the Supersport more agile than many of its competitors, including the Porsche 911 Carrera. Rolling on 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires, the car can also be equipped with an optional Dynamic Handling Pack, which includes adjustable dampers and a limited-slip differential for enhanced control.
Morgan’s focus on craftsmanship extends beyond performance, with a cabin that marries vintage aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. The dashboard retains classic instrumentation, featuring bespoke Morgan graphics inspired by the brand’s original 1909 font. A central console with integrated beam-forming microphones and active noise cancellation ensures clear hands-free communication even with the top down. Convenience is further elevated with wireless charging and a premium Sennheiser audio system. Practicality has not been overlooked, as the removable side windows can be stowed in the boot alongside ample space for travel essentials.
Priced at £85,000 (approximately $110,000), the Morgan Supersport is available for order, with each unit meticulously coach-built at the company’s Pickersleigh Road complex in the UK. Buyers have the option to personalize their vehicle with an extensive range of colors and customizations, ensuring that each Supersport is as unique as its owner.
