The Morgan SuperSport is a striking evolution of its timeless design philosophy. This isn’t just a car; it’s a rolling piece of art, seamlessly fusing classic aesthetics with modern performance.
Blending Past, Present & Future
The Morgan Supersport is a masterclass in design. Crafted by hand, the lightweight aluminium body contrasts beautifully with precision-engineered elements like the satin grey chassis components, a front splitter, and a rear diffuser.

The horseshoe cowl, housing a mesh centre and bold 8-inch LED headlights, gives the front end a distinctive, almost futuristic presence. Meanwhile, the raised shoulder line and sculpted tail add an aggressive yet elegant touch to its sleek profile.
Function Meets Form
Every element of the Supersport is there for a reason. From the asymmetric scuttle panel improving airflow to the seamlessly integrated rear LED lights, everything is meticulously designed to enhance both aesthetics and performance. And for those with a taste for adventure, an optional rear luggage rack adds a practical touch.
But the real treat? The return of a functional boot! Yes, Morgan has finally brought back a usable luggage compartment, featuring remote locking, box weave carpet lining, and lacquered ash wood trim—a subtle nod to its rich heritage.
Classic Interior, Cutting-Edge Features
Inside, the cockpit oozes retro charm with a modern twist. The restyled door cards, is inspired by mid-century audio equipment and features a ‘louvred’ speaker grille surrounded by decorative wooden panels which comes in 11 different finishes.

Morgan hasn’t just focused on aesthetics—technology plays a major role too. The Supersport boasts a state-of-the-art Sennheiser audio system with high-fidelity sound, seat-integrated bass actuators, and even a ported subwoofer.
And for the first time ever in a Morgan, hands-free calling is available, complete with beamforming microphones and noise-cancelling tech—so you can actually take calls while blasting down country roads with the roof down!
Speaking of open-air thrills, the Supersport comes with two roof choices which is the lightweight carbon composite hardtop (just 19.7kg) featuring a large curved rear glass panel. The other choice is the mohair folding roof, available in multiple colours for a more traditional, wind-in your-hair experience.
Power Meets Precision
Morgan’s philosophy has always been about driving enjoyment over raw horsepower, and the Supersport stays true to this ethos. Sitting under the sculpted bonnet is a 335bhp BMW B58 TwinPower Turbo inline-six engine, paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox.

This powerhouse is lightweight yet punchy, ensuring an engaging and exhilarating drive. The car’s foundation, the CXV aluminium platform, is an evolution of the 2019 CX platform, offering a 10% increase in torsional rigidity—or 20% when fitted with the carbon fibre hardtop.
The suspension mounting points have been reinforced for improved response, and steering is now 13% quicker, enhancing agility. Opt for the Dynamic Handling Pack, and you’ll get adjustable Nitron dampers and an optional Limited-Slip Differential, dialling up the precision even further.
Final Thoughts: The Ultimate Modern Classic?
The Morgan Supersport isn’t just a car—it’s an experience. It’s a love letter to traditional coachbuilding, wrapped in a sleek, modern package with just the right amount of tech. Whether it’s the return of a proper boot, the improved aerodynamics, or the BMW powerplant, this is a Morgan like no other.
