2026 Morgan Supersport

2026 Morgan Supersport: A New Era of Performance and Design

The 2026 Morgan Supersport marks a significant evolution in the brand’s legacy, blending modern engineering with the signature craftsmanship that defines Morgan sports cars. Designed on the new CXV aluminum platform, the Supersport enhances driving engagement, usability, and refinement.

The interchangeable soft and hard top, along with a reimagined rear boot and side screen mounting system, adds versatility to the driving experience. The cabin is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity, a premium Sennheiser audio system, and wireless mobile charging, catering to modern expectations while maintaining the vehicle’s classic appeal.

The Supersport embodies Morgan’s functional design philosophy while embracing a more aerodynamic silhouette and intelligent surfacing. Handcrafted aluminum body panels contrast with the precision-engineered chassis elements, such as the satin grey aluminum sills, rear diffuser, and front splitter.

The distinctive front splitter integrates with the ‘horseshoe’ cowl, featuring a minimalistic mesh center section. Optional dark accents are available for those preferring a stealthier aesthetic. Integrated 8-inch LED headlights with built-in indicators reduce the need for additional lighting elements, contributing to a cleaner front profile.

• Convertible roof system with removable hardtop and soft top – Includes a 19.7 kg carbon-composite hardtop with a curved glass rear screen and a folding mohair soft top for open-air driving.

• Updated suspension and steering system for enhanced control – Features revised steering geometry with a 13% quicker steering ratio, adjustable Nitron dampers, and a limited-slip differential.

• Morgan Supersport aerodynamic design and handcrafted bodywork – Integrates aluminum body panels, satin grey chassis elements, a front splitter, and a diffuser with LED taillights.

• Interior technology with premium audio and digital controls – Equipped with a Sennheiser audio system, Bluetooth connectivity, wireless charging, and an LCD screen between analogue dials.

• Alloy wheel options and Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires – Available with lightweight 18-inch ‘Superlite’ wheels (10.8 kg) or 19-inch ‘Aerolite’ forged wheels (9.7 kg) for precise handling.

• Customizable interior craftsmanship and materials – Features mid-century inspired door cards, wooden panel options in 11 finishes, and analogue dials using the ‘HFS’ font.

• Side screen mounting system and boot design updates – Includes an improved mounting system for removable side screens and a reimagined rear boot for better usability.

• Lighting design with integrated LED headlights and indicators – 8-inch LED headlights with built-in indicators minimize additional lighting elements for a cleaner front profile.

A higher shoulder line, achieved through a raised door height and lifted tail, adds a third visual line to the vehicle’s classic proportions. The sculpted rear tail and boot design preserve Morgan’s timeless identity while enhancing aerodynamic efficiency. LED taillights are seamlessly incorporated into the diffuser, while the centrally mounted twin exhaust system reinforces the Supersport’s performance focus.

Enhanced Driving Dynamics

The CXV platform, weighing just 102 kg, offers a 10% increase in torsional rigidity, further improving handling and stability. When equipped with the optional carbon-fiber hardtop, rigidity increases by another 10%, enhancing driving precision.

Under the hood, the BMW B58 TwinPower Turbo 3.0L inline-six engine produces 335 hp, paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain, a continuation of Morgan’s long-standing partnership with BMW, delivers a balance of power and efficiency. A new steering system with revised routing and a 13% quicker steering ratio sharpens responsiveness, giving the driver enhanced road feedback.

Suspension geometry improvements and front and rear anti-roll bars provide better body control and ride compliance. For drivers seeking further customization, the optional Dynamic Handling Pack includes adjustable Nitron dampers with 24 settings and a limited-slip differential for optimized traction and cornering ability.

The Supersport is available with two lightweight alloy wheel designs—18-inch ‘Superlite’ wheels (10.8 kg per corner) and 19-inch ‘Aerolite’ forged wheels (9.7 kg per corner)—paired with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires for optimal wet-weather grip and precise handling.

Morgan integrates modern technology seamlessly into the Supersport while preserving its classic aesthetic. The premium Sennheiser audio system delivers a high-fidelity sound experience using lightweight actuators and a ported subwoofer for deep bass. A beamforming microphone array allows hands-free calling, ensuring clear conversations even with the roof down.

An LCD screen between the analogue dials, controlled via a multifunction dial, displays track ID and caller information. Additionally, a discreet storage tray in the center console offers convenient space for small essentials.

Convertible Versatility

The removable carbon-composite hardtop, weighing just 19.7 kg, features a curved glass rear screen that enhances visibility while allowing natural light into the cabin. Switching to the folding mohair soft top transforms the Supersport into a classic open-air roadster. The newly designed removable side screens, featuring an improved mounting system, enhance ease of use and weather sealing.

Bespoke Interior Craftsmanship

Inside, the mid-century inspired door cards house Morgan’s signature ‘louvred’ speaker grille, framed by decorative wooden panels available in 11 different finishes, including traditional walnut and engineered marquetry. This cohesive design extends to the center console and dashboard, ensuring a seamless interior aesthetic.

The analogue dials, manufactured by Caerbont (the original producer of Smith’s dials), use the custom ‘HFS’ font, inspired by Morgan’s 1909 branding. Dramatic rim lighting emphasizes the dials’ depth, complemented by elongated bright silver ‘sword point’ hands.
