“Morgan Supersport reveal set for March 11 in a livestream with Richard Hammond. The new flagship blends handcrafted heritage with modern engineering.”
Morgan Enters a New Era with the Supersport Coupe
“The streamlined Morgan Supersport will replace the Plus Six, which Morgan stopped producing last November.” “The Supersport will introduce significant performance and design changes, making it one of Morgan’s most advanced vehicles while staying rooted in heritage.”
CXV Platform and BMW Power
BMW’s turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine, which has come to define Morgan’s high-performance portfolio, will continue to power the Supersport. “Morgan’s new CXV platform, an advancement on the Plus Six’s bonded aluminum chassis, will support the car.”
This new platform promises improved stiffness, reduced weight, and better handling dynamics, ensuring that the Supersport delivers a thrilling driving experience while maintaining Morgan’s classic open-top feel in a coupe form.
Global Reveal to Be Hosted by Richard Hammond
Richard Hammond, the former Grand Tour and Top Gear presenter, will host the webcast for the ceremonial unveiling. A lifelong Morgan lover, Hammond confirmed on social media that he will unveil the car in its entirety on March 11.
A Nod to Tradition, A Step Toward the Future
While Morgan continues to modernize, the company remains dedicated to its handcrafted, old-school charm. The Plus Six was notable for being the first Morgan model with turbocharging and dashboard air vents, and the Supersport is expected to follow this blend of tradition and innovation.
Is the Supersport Coming to America?
After obtaining a government license to sell up to 325 vehicles a year through its network of 12 American dealerships, Morgan recently made a comeback to the U.S. market with the Plus Four. Morgan hasn’t yet stated if the Supersport would be offered in the United States, though. After the formal reveal, enthusiasts will have to wait for more news.
Morgan will reveal all the specifics of its most recent masterwork on March 11; stay tuned.
