At first glance, the 2026 Morgan Supersport looks like a classic British roadster with its long hood, swooping fenders, and open-top appeal. However, beneath the handcrafted aluminum bodywork lies a thoroughly modern sports car. Morgan engineers have designed a completely new CXV aluminum chassis, offering improved rigidity and handling over the previous Plus Six platform.

The Supersport maintains Morgan’s traditional hand-formed body panels but integrates contemporary aerodynamic enhancements. The redesigned airflow system reduces drag by 5% and lift by 20%, significantly improving stability at high speeds. Additionally, its optional carbon-fiber hardtop not only enhances rigidity but also gives it a more planted stance.

Inside, the Supersport brings a mix of tradition and innovation. The cabin can be fitted with handcrafted wood and leather, yet it also features modern luxuries like air conditioning, a high-end Sennheiser sound system, and active noise cancellation for clear phone conversations even with the top down. While the car stays true to its analog roots with classic gauges inspired by early Morgan models, it incorporates a digital screen for climate and audio controls, seamlessly blending old-school charm with modern convenience.

Under the hood, the Morgan Supersport houses BMW’s 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-six engine, producing 335 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, the car delivers exhilarating acceleration, reaching 0-100 km/h in under 3.9 seconds, with a top speed of 267 km/h.

Morgan has significantly refined the suspension system, introducing new geometry, wider track, and increased wheel travel for better ride quality. With adjustable Nitron shocks and a limited-slip differential available in the Dynamic Handling Package, drivers can fine-tune their ride for maximum precision on twisty roads.

Thanks to its ultra-lightweight 2,600-pound curb weight, the Supersport boasts an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, making it more agile and responsive than even the base Porsche 911 Carrera. The result? A car that feels incredibly alive on the road, raw, connected, and engaging, delivering a driving experience reminiscent of the golden era of sports cars but with the reliability and refinement of modern engineering.

Morgan plans to hand-build only 200 units per year, making the Supersport an exclusive collector’s gem. With a price tag 15% lower than a base Porsche 911 Carrera, it offers a rare blend of nostalgia and performance at a competitive price point. Unfortunately, due to U.S. crash regulations, this masterpiece will not be available in North America, making it an even more coveted icon in the world of luxury roadsters.
