New Supersport 400 is Morgan’s Most Powerful Production Car

The 0-62mph time drops to 3.6 seconds, while top speed rises to 180mph - improvements of 0.3 seconds and 14mph respectively. Furthermore, with a kerb weight of just 1,170kg, the power-to-weight ratio has increased to 344bhp per tonne. Despite notable gains in output, acceleration and maximum velocity, the focus for the 400 isn’t entirely centred on straight-line performance.

Each Supersport 400 comes equipped with a new active exhaust system and the Dynamic Handling Pack - a standalone option on the standard model. Both axles feature Nitron dampers with 24 levels of adjustment, alongside revised suspension geometry. Morgan promises improved body control and stability, resulting in more predictable and accurate responses to inputs. A limited-slip differential remains a £2,425.42 option.

Grip comes courtesy of Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres measuring 235/40 and 255/40 at the front and rear respectively. All models are fitted with forged 19” five-spoke wheels to reduce unsprung mass and rotational inertia. Beyond the new-look silver or bronze rims, the Supersport 400 gets a handful of visual tweaks to reflect its increased performance.

Rear-facing air vents feature atop the front wings, improving airflow and cooling while matching the dark colour of the bonnet-mounted air outlet. Subtle 400 badging is found behind the front wheel arches, with a letter S being created in the negative space around the stacked coral blocks. Completing the visual makeover is a gloss finish to the lower bodywork, creating a greater contrast than the satin grey on the regular Supersport.

Further subtle revisions are found within the two-seat cabin, with the analogue dials gaining red markings and darkened centres. The seats gain the model designation and a stitching pattern specific to the Supersport 400. Alcantara can be specified throughout the cabin - including on the steering wheel - but the most welcome revision can be found on the transmission tunnel.

BMW’s automatic gear selector typically looks out of place within the cabin of a Morgan, but now an aluminium shifter of the company’s own design is available, and we expect it to be a popular choice among Supersport customers. Whether retrofits will be made available to existing models remains to be seen.

The Supersport 400 is available to configure and order now, with prices starting from £135,558. Production begins at the Pickersleigh Road factory in May 2026, and while the flagship model will be a permanent fixture of the range, it will be built in “carefully managed” numbers. The driver-focused variant marks the expansion of the Supersport model line, alongside the beginning of a broader product offensive. Buoyed by the success of the Midsummer speedster and recent special editions, Morgan is plotting a series of bespoke and limited-run models that are set to emerge over the next 18 months.
