Morgan Supersport 400: BMW-tuned 402 HP roadster with 3.6s 0–62

Morgan sharpens its Supersport with the 400 model, boosting output to 402 hp from the turbocharged BMW B58 inline-six while keeping the car’s 2,579 lb curb weight. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight‑speed automatic, improving 0–62 mph to 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 180 mph. The update adds forged 19-inch wheels, improved front wing vents for engine breathing, a bespoke exhaust, and standard 24‑way adjustable dampers, with a removable hardtop or fabric roof. It remains manual-less and pricey: €138,958 in Europe and £112,965 in the UK before taxes, with options that can push another ~£31,000 (including a limited-slip diff and aluminum shifter). A UK configurator is available for buyers to tailor the car.

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). It uses a bonded aluminum structure wrapped around an ash wood core, rides on lighter 19-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires, and starts at about $152,000. Production is planned in the UK with May start, while US availability remains uncertain amid Morgan’s emissions/tariff challenges.
