It’s a rare occasion for Morgan to unveil a new model. But, this week marked one of those special occasions, as the boutique British sportscar manufacturer revealed their latest flagship model, the Supersport. Initially intended as an update to the Plus Six, engineering creep took hold, and they made a whole new model. Every panel is different, and there are a ton of updates; but it still retains all of Morgan’s signature, traditional elements. It’s built by hand in Britain, weighs almost nothing, and its bodywork will be hand beaten into shape over an ash wood frame.

Visually, the Supersport is unmistakably a Morgan – with the long hood, post-box windscreen, circular lights, and horseshoe grill – but has many refreshing updates. At the front, Morgan uses the new LED units from the Plus Four, with integrated indicators, and finishes the horseshoe grill with a large rectangular bumper underneath, which is my least favorite part of the car. It visually widens the car and makes it more aggressive, but this bumper also seems blunt and aggressive. I wish the horseshoe grill had gone further down and that this lower intake and bumper unit had been subtler, like their mid-2000s Aero Coupe.
