Morgan Unveils Its Most Powerful Sports Car Ever — The Supersport 400

British automaker Morgan Motor Company wasted no time updating its latest roadster. Just one year after the debut of the Supersport, the company has introduced a more aggressive version called the Morgan Supersport 400—now the most powerful production car in Morgan’s history.

Under the hood sits an upgraded 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six from BMW. The B58 engine now produces 402 horsepower, which is 67 hp more than the standard Supersport, while torque remains unchanged at 369 lb-ft (500 Nm).

The most impressive part is that the weight hasn’t increased at all. The Supersport 400 still tips the scales at just 2,579 pounds (1,170 kg), which is remarkably light by modern standards—roughly the same as a Mazda MX-5 RF.

With that power-to-weight ratio, the car launches from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). It’s quicker than the standard Supersport and noticeably more aggressive in character.

But the upgrades go beyond the engine. The 400 version gets forged 19-inch wheels with a classic design, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires. Aerodynamics have also been improved with functional air vents integrated into the front fenders.

The B58 engine also receives a new exhaust system that gives it a richer, more authentic sound—and thankfully, this is not one of those cars relying on fake engine noise through the speakers.

The suspension has been upgraded as well. Standard equipment now includes adjustable dampers with 24 different settings, allowing drivers to fine-tune the car’s behavior anywhere from relaxed grand touring to sharper track-focused driving.

Still, the Morgan isn’t perfect.

First, there’s no manual transmission—only an eight-speed automatic. For a car with such an analog personality, that choice may disappoint some enthusiasts.

Second, there’s the price. In Europe, pricing starts at around $150,000 before taxes. In the UK, the base price begins at about $145,000 (£112,965), and with options, it can easily climb past $180,000.

Buyers can also swap the standard BMW gear selector for an anodized aluminum version that better matches the retro-inspired cabin.

Because inside, the Supersport 400 stays proudly old-school: minimal screens, maximum mechanical feel, and a strong focus on driver engagement.

Sure, in 2026, 402 horsepower may not sound outrageous next to modern electric SUVs making even bigger numbers. But the Morgan Supersport 400 was never really about numbers.

It’s one of the rare cars left in an era of “smartphones on wheels” that still feels like it has a soul—lightweight, alive, and genuinely involving to drive.

A removable hardtop and a soft convertible roof also add some everyday flexibility, making year-round use possible—assuming the weather and road conditions cooperate.

Yes, for this kind of money, you could buy something more practical or more high-tech.

But with a Morgan, the real question is different: do you want to simply drive, or do you want to feel every second of it?
