Morgan Supersport Revealed as the Most Practical Morgan Yet
Morgan has revealed its newest flagship model, called the Supersport, which comes with interchangeable hard and soft tops—oh, and a trunk!
The Supersport rides on a reengineered version of Morgan's aluminum platform and houses a BMW-sourced straight-six under the hood.
The new model will be the quickest Morgan yet, with the company estimating a 3.9-second rip from zero to 62 mph.
Morgan has revealed the Supersport, the British automaker's newest flagship and the replacement for the now-retired Plus Six. Unsurprisingly for a brand known for dragging its feet, the Supersport looks exactly how you'd expect a Morgan to look. Perhaps surprisingly, given that reputation, the Supersport receives several changes that make it more livable every day.
For starters, the Supersport can be had with interchangeable roofs. There's a soft top for when the forecast looks promising and a more practical carbon-fiber hard top for when things look more, um, British. There's also a trunk, which is notable given that it's the first Morgan with a luggage compartment you can access from outside the car.
The Supersport rides on a revised version of Morgan's CX aluminum platform. The automaker says the updated chassis offers 10 percent more torsional rigidity than the old version. Opting for the carbon roof makes it another 10 percent stiffer.
As in the outgoing Plus Six, the BMW-sourced turbocharged straight-six makes a healthy 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. Morgan says the Supersport is the quickest car it has ever built and estimates a zero-to-62-mph time of 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 166 mph.
Despite some added mass, the Supersport is claimed to be easier to drive than prior Morgans. The company says the new model's ride is softer and more compliant in its standard setup, and a reworked underbody is said to reduce lift by 20 percent.
Unfortunately, we're unlikely to get the chance to buy the Supersport here in the United States, as Morgan CEO Matt Hole told Road & Track that there are no plans to bring the model stateside. That's a shame, as the company is in the process of bringing the Plus Four back to the U.S., and at £85,000 in the UK—or roughly $110,000 at current exchange rates—the Supersport looks like an enticing option.
