Morgan's latest Supersport is a delightful British classic that competes with Porsche.

      Morgan

      The renowned British sports car brand Morgan has revealed its latest model: the Morgan Supersport. This vehicle is crafted to embody the fun and stylish allure for which Morgan is celebrated, while also catering to more practical everyday driving needs. Morgan enjoys a loyal following among classic sports car enthusiasts, but its vehicles are often seen as weekend treats rather than daily drivers. The Supersport aims to change that perception, featuring a powerful BMW engine, improved handling for comfort, and reduced drag through computer-aided design. It's designed to serve as a significant alternative to vehicles like the Porsche 911.

      Matthew Hole from Morgan expressed to TopGear.com, “Our goal was to create a car that you can easily jump into and drive with enthusiasm. We’ve integrated numerous features that encourage you to hit the road more frequently rather than just occasionally.”

      The Supersport is equipped with a 335bhp BMW B58 six-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, achieving a 0-60mph time of 3.9 seconds, making it quicker than the previous Plus Six model. Buyers can choose between a soft fold-back roof to enjoy the breeze or a carbon fiber hardtop for greater weather protection and enhanced rigidity, along with new lightweight wheels fitted with Michelin tires.

      A significant advancement in practicality for daily use is evident in the Supersport. It boasts an electronically opening trunk, storage space behind the seats, a wireless phone charger in the central console, and a hands-free phone system. Classic Morgan elements remain, such as the use of ash wood for the bodywork frame, bold round headlights, and the iconic design. The base model of the Supersport is priced around £100,000 ($130,000), with annual production limited to just a few hundred units.
