Morgan is enhancing its performance capabilities with the official launch of the Supersport 400, the most potent production car in the company's 117-year history. The flagship model signifies a notable transition to contemporary high-performance engineering and is the inaugural production Morgan to surpass the 400 bhp benchmark. The Supersport 400 is equipped with a BMW-sourced 3.0L inline-six turbocharged engine, especially the B58, which is also utilised in its “40i” versions and is well-known for its presence in the Toyota GR Supra. This '01' generation is calibrated to produce 402 bhp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Power is transmitted through an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, enabling the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 3.6 seconds, with a maximum velocity of 180 mph. The vehicle, constructed on the bonded CXV aluminium chassis, has a lightweight curb weight of 1,170 kg (~2,580 lbs.), yielding a power-to-weight ratio of 344 bhp per tonne.

The dynamics are improved with a standard Dynamic Handling Pack, which includes 24-click adjustable Nitron dampers and modified suspension geometry for superior cornering accuracy. The appearance undergoes a "purposeful evolution" including functional front wing vents and a transition to gloss-finished lower bodywork. The Supersport 400 features 19” lightweight forged Sportlite wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires, exhibiting a design reminiscent of classic 90s sports car silhouettes, which is visually striking. A sophisticated CMF approach incorporates Alcantara upholstery, custom instrument dials from Caerbont, and a unique anodised aluminium gear selector.



The Supersport 400 is priced from £112,965 GBP (about $152,000 USD) and is currently available for order, with manufacturing commencing in May 2026.
