History

In autumn 2024, the manufacturer announced that it would cease production of the Morgan Plus Six in 2025. [1] [2] The successor model, the Morgan Supersport, was finally presented in March 2025. Sales began in the United Kingdom at the same time. [1] [2]

Specifications

The design of the Supersport is a further development of the Midsummer special model based on the Plus Six, introduced in summer 2024. Technically, the Supersport is based on a further developed platform (CXV) of the predecessor model. The body is handcrafted from aluminum. The roof is available as either a carbon fiber composite hardtop or a mohair folding roof. The Supersport has removable side windows and a trunk. [1] Compared to the Plus Six, the car is longer, wider and taller, but the wheelbase is the same. The manufacturer states the curb weight as 1,170 kg (2,580 lb). [3]

The Supersport is powered by the B58 six-cylinder inline petrol engine familiar from the predecessor model. [1] It achieves a maximum output of 250 kW (340 hp) and a maximum torque of 500 Nm. The vehicle is said to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, and the top speed is stated as 166 mph (267 km/h). An 8-speed automatic transmission from ZF transmits the power to the rear wheels.
