Today, we are excited to talk about the all new 2026 Morgan Supersport. This car is not just a new model; it is the flagship of the Morgan brand. It represents a new direction in design, dynamics, and refinement. Let’s dive into what makes the Supersport special!
New Design Features
The design of the Supersport is striking. It introduces a new look for Morgan. The back of the car has a dramatic lifted tail line. This design is not just for looks; it also helps with aerodynamics. The wing line sweeps from behind the front wheel, giving a greater suggestion of performance.
While it has a familiar look, the proportions are new and exciting. You can see a shift towards more modern automotive design. However, the designers have kept the simplicity and purity of form that makes a Morgan a Morgan. There are many new details to notice, but focus on three key features: the sills, the splitter, and the diffuser. These elements show the dynamic shift in the car’s design.
Floating Appearance
The body appears to be floating, which creates a stylistic contrast between tradition and modernity. Morgan talks about a 21st-century coachbuilding philosophy, which means drawing inspiration from different decades and blending them into a modern design.
Every element of the Supersport is functional. For instance, the vents on panel edges and the cleaner bonnet catches make the car not only beautiful but also practical.
Room for Adventure
The longer body of the Supersport allows for more luggage space. You can fit a couple of squishy bags in the trunk. Plus, there is a side screen that you can remove to enjoy nature more closely. It is a true Morgan experience!
One unique feature is the treated wood used in the car’s frame. When you open the boot, it is on display for everyone to see, showcasing Morgan’s fine craftsmanship.
Lighting and Mirrors
The Supersport uses new Morgan-designed 8-inch headlamps and machined aluminum side mirrors. The taller doors have slim side screens that attach directly to the top of the door, making them easier to use and removing the need for external fixings.
Interchangeable Roofs
When you order your Supersport, you will decide between a soft top or a carbon fiber hardtop. The soft top neatly folds onto the rear parcel shelf and comes in various colors. The carbon fiber hardtop is painted the same color as the car and makes it usable all year round. Don’t worry; both options are interchangeable!
Inside the Supersport
Inside the car, you will notice many big changes. There is a handy pocket for your phone, so you can view maps easily. The enhanced Sennheiser sound system provides great music quality. It includes a new subwoofer hidden behind the seats and upgraded speakers in the doors.
New dash-mounted controls make it easy to manage everything. There are five discreet microphones developed with noise-canceling technology for phone calls. This means you can make calls on the motorway without any wind noise bothering you.
Handle with Care
The door handles are also new. You slide them forward to open the door, and with a little push, the side screens pop up for easy removal and storage in the boot. The new steering wheel features a sculpted center section available in satin polished or black.
As the flagship model, the Supersport has unique touches like handmade analog dials created by Morgan in South Wales.
What’s Under the Hood?
Now, let’s talk about what’s going on underneath the car. The Supersport is built on a new platform called the CXV. This platform is an evolution of the CX generation, which launched in 2019. Many changes have been made to improve handling and driving experience.
- Faster steering ratio
- New relocated steering rack
- Improved braking stability
- Increased camber gain
All these changes add up to a 10% increase in torsional rigidity. This means the car is more responsive and engaging on the road.
Power and Customization
The Supersport is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine. It produces 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. With a weight of less than 1,100 kilos, this power makes for an exciting driving experience.
As with all Morgan cars, the Supersport is highly customizable. You can choose colors, materials, and more to build your dream car. Visit Morgan’s website or your nearest dealer to start customizing!
Craftsmanship and Production
The Supersport is coachbuilt at Morgan’s historic home on Pickersleigh Road. Skilled engineers and craftsmen create every element of the car over hundreds of hours. You can even see your car being built if you have one on order!
A New Era for Morgan
The Supersport is not just a car; it is a flagship that introduces a new era for Morgan. It combines new and old school elements, keeping what makes a Morgan special while moving forward. Production starts in the spring, and demonstrators will be available soon. But you can order yours right now!
