Morgan’s New Supersport 400 Is the Brand’s Most Powerful Car Ever

2026 Morgan Supersport 400: Horsepower, Price, and Everything We Know

Morgan has never been a brand chasing horsepower numbers. The British automaker built its reputation on hand-formed aluminum bodies and a driving experience that feels closer to 1950s motoring than anything modern. That’s exactly why the new Supersport 400 is such a big deal.

This is the most powerful production car Morgan has ever built. And it’s not close.

A BMW Straight-Six Under a Vintage-Looking Hood

The Supersport 400 runs on a reworked version of BMW’s B58 engine, the same turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six found in cars like the Toyota GR Supra and BMW’s own Z4 M40i. Here, it’s tuned to produce 402 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.

That’s a 67-horsepower jump over the standard Supersport, which tops out at 335 hp. All of that power goes to the rear wheels through a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, keeping the driving character rear-drive and analog despite the modern powertrain.

Quick Enough to Surprise You

Weighing in at just under 2,580 pounds, the Supersport 400 hits 60 mph in roughly 3.4 seconds. Top speed lands around 180 mph, a figure that’s still pending final certification.

Those numbers put a car with a decades-old design language in the same performance conversation as modern sports coupes. The power-to-weight ratio works out to somewhere near 340 horsepower per ton, which is genuinely serious for a car this size.

Chassis Upgrades Built for Real Driving

The Dynamic Handling Pack comes standard on this trim, adding adjustable Nitron dampers with 24 levels of tuning, revised suspension geometry, and setup work specific to the 400. Owners can dial the ride from comfortable back-road cruising to something noticeably firmer.

Forged 19-inch Sportlite wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires round out the package. A limited-slip differential is available as an option for drivers who want more traction out of corners.

A Louder Exhaust and Sharper Details

New for this trim is an active high-flow exhaust, designed to let that BMW straight-six breathe a little more freely without turning the car into something obnoxious. Morgan also added new intake vents on the front fenders and darker lower body accents that separate the 400 visually from the standard Supersport.

Four new satin paint finishes join the lineup: Forged Grey, Silk Silver, Sail Silver, and Horizon Blue. Coral accents show up on graphics, brake calipers, and select interior trim for buyers who want a bit more contrast.

Handmade Interior With Real Customization

Every Supersport 400 is still assembled by hand at Morgan’s factory on Pickersleigh Road in Malvern, England. Buyers can choose full leather or Alcantara upholstery, including two-tone combinations and custom stitching.

The gauges come from Caerbont, a instrument maker tied to the same heritage as the classic Smiths dials Morgan has used for generations. A Sennheiser sound system and Morgan’s signature removable roof panel round out the cabin.

Pricing and When It’s Actually Built

In the UK, the Supersport 400 starts at £112,965 before local taxes, which converts to roughly $143,000 at current exchange rates, though pricing and availability for the US market haven’t been confirmed. With VAT included, UK buyers are looking at closer to £135,558 out the door.

Production kicked off in May 2026 at Morgan’s Malvern facility. The brand isn’t treating this as a numbered limited run, but output stays deliberately low, consistent with how Morgan has always built cars.

For a company that’s spent nearly 120 years doing things its own way, the Supersport 400 is a reminder that vintage styling and real performance don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
