Morgan Motor Company has introduced the Supersport, its latest flagship model, marking a bold step forward for the British automaker. Built on the advanced CXV aluminum platform, the new model delivers improved rigidity, refined steering, and an enhanced suspension system. These upgrades ensure a more engaging and responsive driving experience while maintaining the brand’s signature craftsmanship.
The Supersport offers versatility with an interchangeable carbon composite hardtop and a folding mohair soft top, providing two distinct driving experiences. Practicality is also a key focus, with increased storage behind the seats and a dedicated trunk, making this one of Morgan’s most touring-friendly models.
Classic Craftsmanship Meets Modern Technology
Inside the cabin, Morgan blends heritage with contemporary technology. The Supersport is equipped with a premium Sennheiser audio system, wireless phone charging, and Bluetooth hands-free calling. Despite these modern touches, the vehicle stays true to Morgan’s “21st Century Coachbuilding” philosophy, ensuring each model retains its handcrafted, bespoke nature.
BMW Power and Aerodynamic Enhancements
Under the hood, the Supersport features BMW’s 3.0L TwinPower Turbo inline-six engine, producing 335 horsepower. This power is managed through an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, offering a dynamic yet smooth driving experience. The platform is 10% more torsionally rigid than its predecessor, improving stability and handling. An optional carbon fiber hardtop adds another 10% to the vehicle’s rigidity.
Morgan has also refined aerodynamics, with a redesigned front splitter, smoother body surfacing, and underbody improvements. These changes reduce drag by 5% and lower lift by 20%, enhancing overall performance. The car rides on lightweight forged aluminum wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires, ensuring exceptional grip and agility.
Now available for order, the Supersport starts at approximately $107,500 USD. Customers can personalize their models through Morgan’s official website, creating a unique, handcrafted vehicle assembled at the company’s historic Pickersleigh Road factory in the UK.
