Morgan Supersport reaches American dealerships in vivid coral red

The Morgan Supersport has reached American dealerships, with coral red examples now available for test drives at Morgan Fort Lauderdale. The arrival marks a significant moment for the British manufacturer’s latest flagship model, which succeeds the Plus Six and represents a comprehensive evolution of what Malvern engineering can achieve.

This is not merely a cosmetic update. The Supersport adopts styling cues from the limited run Midsummer penned by Pininfarina and uses a revised aluminium platform that brings a 10-percent boost in torsional rigidity, plus another 10-percent if you spring for the carbon roof. The car is built with what Morgan calls a bonded aluminium structure paired with an ash wood frame, a deliberately paradoxical blend that defines the brand’s philosophy: retro sensibility married to contemporary engineering.

Under the bonnet sits a BMW “B58” turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six good for 335 horsepower and 369 pound feet of torque, mated to an eight speed ZF automatic gearbox. The result is performance that belies the roadster’s 1930s silhouette: 0-62mph arrives in just under 4 seconds and a 166mph top speed is within reach.

The Supersport distinguishes itself through its configurable roof design. The car features interchangeable roofs, with the fabric top swappable for a body coloured carbon composite hard top that weighs 43 pounds. Functionality follows from form; both options yield practical motoring without sacrifice. The coral red finish now gracing Fort Lauderdale demonstrates how Morgan’s palette elevates these proportions, the traditional roadster body absorbing colour with particular richness.

Prospective drivers in the United States should contact their nearest Morgan dealership to arrange a Supersport demonstration.
