Morgan Supersport 400 Brings Retro Roadster Power Near the 400-Horsepower Mark

Morgan’s Supersport 400 fuses classic Morgan styling with a tuned BMW B58 engine to deliver ~396 hp and 369 lb-ft, sending power to the rear via a ZF 8-speed automatic (open diff, optional LSD).

Production is planned in the UK with May start, while US availability remains uncertain amid Morgan’s emissions/tariff challenges.
