What's Happening?
Morgan has introduced the Supersport 400, its most powerful vintage-look roadster to date. This new model is equipped with a nearly 400 horsepower engine, offering a significant performance boost over previous models. The Supersport 400 features a bonded
aluminum structure wrapped around an ash wood frame, maintaining Morgan's traditional craftsmanship while incorporating modern engineering. The vehicle is fitted with a BMW-sourced ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, enhancing its driving dynamics.
