Morgan Unveils Its Most Powerful Model Yet: Supersport 400
The British sports car manufacturer Morgan Motor Company has unveiled the Supersport 400, its most powerful production model to date. Producing 402 horsepower, the model surpasses the 400-horsepower threshold for the first time in the brand’s production history and is positioned as the new flagship of the Supersport range.
Developed with a strong focus on performance, driving precision, and driver engagement, the Supersport 400 stands out as a significant milestone in Morgan’s product evolution. The new model offers a more advanced interpretation of the Supersport platform, where the brand combines modern engineering with its traditional coachbuilding philosophy.
A New Level in Performance and Engineering
Built on Morgan’s advanced CXV aluminium platform, the Supersport 400 pushes the potential of this architecture further through increased performance and targeted engineering enhancements. The model is equipped with the latest BMW B58 ‘O1’ inline six-cylinder turbo engine and an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, developed as a result of Morgan’s long-standing technical partnership with BMW.
While delivering instant performance with high responsiveness, this powertrain maintains Morgan’s engineering philosophy centered on lightness and balance.
The standard Morgan Dynamic Handling Pack features adjustable Nitron dampers, revised suspension geometry, and 24-step adjustability, allowing the driving character to be precisely tailored to the driver’s preferences. This setup provides increased stability and control, particularly during high-speed driving.
Emphasis on “Analog Connection” in Driving Experience
Beyond increased power, strengthening the connection between driver and car was a key focus in the development of the Supersport 400. Steering feel, throttle response, and chassis feedback have been calibrated to deliver a direct and unfiltered driving experience.
With this model, Morgan continues its approach of defining performance not only through numbers, but through driving feel—delivering a more connected driving character.
Purposeful Evolution in Design
The Supersport 400 retains the brand’s clean and functional design language, while introducing subtle yet effective updates that reflect its increased performance. New front fender air vents and revised underbody details contribute both aerodynamically and visually.
The standard lightweight forged 19-inch Sportlite alloy wheels reduce unsprung mass and improve dynamic response, while giving the car a more assertive stance.
Inside, Alcantara options, bespoke stitching details, and analog-style instrument dials enhanced with modern communication technologies stand out. Details such as the optional aluminium gear selector further enhance tactile quality and the driver-focused atmosphere.
Personalisation and Craftsmanship at the Forefront
Morgan’s coach-built production tradition continues with the Supersport 400. The model offers expanded colour, material, and personalisation options, allowing each vehicle to be tailored to its owner.
New satin paint finishes and optional colour accents enhance the model’s visual identity, while handcrafted interior details reflect the brand’s craftsmanship heritage.
The Beginning of a New Era for Morgan
The introduction of the Supersport 400 represents not only a new model launch, but also the beginning of a new growth phase for Morgan Motor Company. The company plans to expand its product range over the next 18 months with bespoke and limited-run collections.
Production of the model will begin in May, with availability across the United Kingdom, Europe, and other global markets.
Bringing together Morgan’s expertise in performance, design, and craftsmanship in a single model, the Supersport 400 also stands as a strong indicator of the brand’s future product strategy.
Designed to deliver a more powerful, sharper, and more “connected” driving experience, the model elevates Morgan’s position in the world of sports cars to a new level.
