Morgan

Do you emotion nan look of nan Morgan Plus Four, but wish those unsocial looks were backed up pinch a much powerful drivetrain? Well nan huffy geniuses complete astatine Morgan person your number, because they've loaded their fastest four-wheeler up pinch astir 400 horsepower. That ought to beryllium capable to make nan caller Supersport 400 thrust arsenic bully arsenic it looks. 

The Supersport 400 whitethorn look mostly for illustration nan Plus Four we get present successful nan States, but it's really a caller type of the Supersport model that was first revealed past twelvemonth and doesn't make it to this broadside of nan pond. That car, a replacement for nan Plus Six model, inherits nan bonded aluminum building nan institution debuted pinch nan Aero 8. Purists request not fear, though — that bonded aluminum is still wrapped astir an ash wood frame. 396 horsepower successful a car pinch halfway structural components made of wood, what could perchance spell wrong?

Very little, if nan remainder of Morgan's engineering is immoderate objection of nan company's capabilities. The Supersport 400 (named for its 402 brake horsepower, a fig it doesn't rather scope successful American units) erstwhile again borrows its drivetrain from BMW, utilizing nan aforesaid version of nan B58 you'd find successful an M340i aliases Supra — though seemingly pinch a tune, boosting output to 396 horsepower and 369 pound-feet, up from nan 330 hp and 369 lb-ft successful nan regular Supersport. That motor besides appears to powerfulness nan 434-hp Supra Final Edition, truthful there's apt much capacity connected pat for those looking to tune their Morgans. Surely that's a patient market, right?

That motor is bolted to a BMW-sourced ZF 8-speed automatic with the aforesaid cogwheel ratios arsenic nan M340i, which sends torque to nan rear wheels done an unfastened differential (though a limited-slip is disposable arsenic an option). Those wheels are 19-inch five-spokes designed to beryllium lighter than nan modular Supersport's, clad successful Michelin Pilot Sport 5 rubber.

Inside, nan Supersport 400 looks overmuch for illustration its different four-wheeled siblings — conscionable a spot elevated. The white-on-black gauges are a bully touch for nan center-mount layout, since they're a spot little obnoxious than accepted white-on-black fare. The full interior is awash successful nan operation of leather and Alcantara that defines a sport-luxury car successful 2026, though Morgan is besides very eager to brag astir its aluminum automatic shifter. 

The Supersport 400 starts astatine conscionable complete $152,000, though there's nary connection connected U.S. readiness for nan exemplary — without a guidelines Supersport here, and fixed Morgan's existing troubles pinch emissions and tariffs, I wouldn't clasp your breath. If you really request one, you astir apt person a 2nd aliases 3rd aliases sixth location successful nan UK anyway. Just prime 1 up complete location erstwhile nan institution starts building them successful May. Get nan Horizon Blue shade, it's already nan champion colour connected those retro lines.
