Morgan unveils Supersport 400, 400bhp

Morgan Motor Company unveiled the Supersport 400 on April 23 as its most powerful production car yet, with 402 brake horsepower. (morgan-motor.com) Morgan said the car is the first production Morgan to clear the 400 brake horsepower mark. It sits above the Supersport introduced on March 11, 2026. (morgan-motor.com 1) (morgan-motor.com 2) Power comes from BMW’s 3.0-liter B58 inline six-cylinder engine, rated at 402 brake horsepower and 500 newton-meters of torque, sent through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. (morgan-motor.com) Morgan lists a kerb weight of 1,170 kilograms, a 0-62 miles per hour time of 3.6 seconds, and a top speed of 180 miles per hour, pending final certification. (morgan-motor.com) The Supersport 400 keeps Morgan’s CXV-generation bonded aluminum platform, but adds a more focused setup. The company said its Dynamic Handling Pack is standard, along with an active performance exhaust and revised suspension geometry. (morgan-motor.com) (carmagazine.co.uk) That makes the new car a sharper version of Morgan’s latest flagship formula: low weight, rear-wheel drive, and a six-cylinder engine in a hand-built body. Morgan says the standard Supersport was designed around driver engagement rather than outright lap times. (morgan-motor.com 1) (morgan-motor.com 2) Autocar reported the engine is up 67 brake horsepower from the regular Supersport’s 335, cutting the 0-62 time by half a second. Yahoo Autos, citing Autocar, reported UK pricing starts at £136,000 versus £105,160 for the standard car. (autocar.co.uk) (autos.yahoo.com) Morgan has not framed the car as a stripped-out track special. Its own description calls it a “more focused interpretation” of the six-cylinder platform, aimed at a stronger connection between driver and machine. (morgan-motor.com) For Morgan, the launch pushes its newly introduced Supersport line further upmarket without abandoning the company’s old formula: compact dimensions, visible craftsmanship, and big power in a very light car. (morgan-motor.com) (forbes.com) The result is a Morgan that crosses the 400 brake horsepower threshold for the first time, but still sells the same idea it has for years: speed through lightness and mechanical feel.
