Morgan Supersport 400: 408 PS and the Art of the British Roadster

Beneath the long bonnet sits BMW’s B58 “O1” engine, a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Morgan quotes 300 kW, equivalent to approximately 408 PS or 402 bhp, together with 500 Nm of torque available from just 1,250 rpm. The technical specification lists a kerb weight of 1,170 kg. The manufacturer also claims 0–100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 290 km/h. Both performance figures remain subject to final certification in the official document consulted. At 4.11 metres long and 1.805 metres wide, the sports car retains compact proportions. That combination may appeal to Swiss enthusiasts who value manageable dimensions as much as engine output.

The bonded-aluminium CXV-Generation platform provides the foundation for this evolution. The Dynamic Handling Pack comes as standard, bringing Nitron dampers with 24 adjustment settings, revised suspension geometry and tuning specific to this version. A limited-slip differential is available as an option. Forged 19-inch Sportlite wheels are paired with Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tyres, while a dedicated active exhaust system complements the mechanical changes. New vents in the front wings contribute to cooling. Four satin paint finishes – Forged Grey, Silk Silver, Sail Silver and Horizon Blue – expand the colour palette, with optional coral accents adding further scope for individual expression.

Every Supersport 400 is built to order at Pickersleigh Road in England. The cabin offers new Alcantara upholstery choices, bespoke stitching and distinctive instrument dial graphics. An aluminium gear selector is available as an option. The roof adds another dimension of versatility. The car can be fitted with a removable carbon-composite hardtop, quoted at 19.7 kg and incorporating a glass rear window, or a folding mohair soft top. These two configurations allow owners to plan both open-air escapes and journeys with greater weather protection. They give the Supersport 400 an appeal that extends beyond its performance figures.

The Supersport 400 already features in the offering of Swiss dealer Leuba Collection. A new example with special paint is advertised at CHF 200,350. This figure applies to a particular configuration and does not represent a nationwide starting price. Swiss buyers should therefore ensure that their quotation specifies the options, warranty and delivery timing applicable to the chosen vehicle. For specialist garages, presenting these details helps explain the value of a car individually built to order.
