Known for its iconic sports cars handcrafted with modern craftsmanship since 1909, British automaker Morgan Motor Company continues its journey in Türkiye under the distributorship of Yeniköy Motors with its new flagship model, Supersport. Following the introduction of the Morgan Plus Four in the first quarter of 2025, Yeniköy Motors now brings Supersport — the pinnacle of Morgan’s current product range — together with automotive enthusiasts in Türkiye.
Commenting on the arrival of the Morgan Supersport in Türkiye, Nevzat Kaya, Chairman of the Board of Yeniköy Motors, emphasized that this special model represents not only a product launch but also the beginning of a new era for Morgan in the Turkish market:
“As Yeniköy Motors, we plan to represent the Morgan brand in Türkiye with a long-term vision. This journey, which began with the Plus Four, now continues with Supersport, the model that represents the very peak of the brand. The arrival of Supersport in Türkiye is not merely the introduction of a new model for us; it signifies the meeting of Morgan’s most advanced level of engineering, design, and driving philosophy with our country. We believe this model will mark an important turning point for automotive enthusiasts in Türkiye.”
In line with this strong vision, Supersport — Morgan’s new flagship in which design, driving dynamics, and refinement are developed in equal measure — represents the brand’s 21st-century vision while clearly maintaining its deep-rooted heritage. Thanks to redefined proportions, simplified surfaces, and contemporary details, Supersport presents a modern design language while retaining an unmistakable Morgan identity.
At the heart of Supersport lies the all-new CXV aluminum platform, featuring increased torsional rigidity. This new architecture elevates Morgan’s pure and analog driving character to a more refined, balanced, and predictable level. Usability is significantly enhanced through features such as a removable carbon composite hard top, a folding mohair soft top, a newly introduced luggage compartment, and an improved side window mechanism. Inside, Bluetooth hands-free calling, an upgraded Sennheiser audio system, and a wireless charging pad are seamlessly integrated without compromising Supersport’s timeless character.
Supersport marks the beginning of an exciting new era for Morgan. Thanks to the new lightweight CXV aluminum platform, it brings together dynamic performance and a contemporary yet unmistakably Morgan design in natural harmony. Every detail has been meticulously designed to strengthen the bond between driver and car.
Supersport reinterprets Morgan’s functional design philosophy through a contemporary lens. Rather than referencing a single era, design elements inspired by different periods of the brand’s history are brought together in a modern composition. A more aerodynamic body form and increased front and rear fender volumes visually emphasize Supersport’s performance character.
The flowing aluminum body panels, hand-shaped through traditional craftsmanship, create a deliberate contrast with satin-grey chassis details and technical elements such as the front splitter and rear diffuser. This approach powerfully reflects Morgan’s “21st Century Coachbuilding” philosophy.
Supersport is also the first new Morgan model in the past decade to feature a genuine luggage compartment. Accessible via remote central locking, the trunk allows for the easy transportation of side windows and long-distance travel bags.
Supersport offers two distinct personalities with its interchangeable carbon composite hard top and folding mohair soft top. Weighing just 19.7 kg, the hard top features a large glass rear section that floods the cabin with natural light while giving the car a coupe-like character. The soft top, on the other hand, transforms Supersport into a pure roadster, delivering the classic Morgan open-air driving experience.
Supersport is not merely about increased horsepower, but about deepening the connection between driver and machine. The new CXV platform delivers a more refined, balanced, and predictable driving character compared to the previous CX generation.
Developed in collaboration with BMW, the 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline six-cylinder engine produces 335 horsepower and is paired with a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. Thanks to the new steering system and revised suspension geometry, faster steering responses and stronger driver feedback are achieved.
Morgan’s lightest wheels to date — the new 18-inch Superlite wheels and optional 19-inch Aerolite wheels — significantly reduce unsprung mass, while Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires stand out with their wet-weather performance. Enhanced aerodynamics reduce drag by 5% and lift by 20%.
In Supersport, technology is positioned as a natural element that supports the driving experience rather than a visible display of excess. The upgraded Sennheiser audio system delivers high sound quality while preserving lightweight construction. The hands-free calling system, supported by a three-microphone active noise-cancellation setup, ensures clear communication even with the roof open. A wireless charging pad in the center console further enhances everyday usability.
Supersport’s body is built upon Morgan’s traditional ash wood frame — a hallmark of the brand’s century-long manufacturing heritage — combined with fully hand-formed aluminum panels. Ash wood stands out in the automotive world as a rare natural material that is both exceptionally lightweight and highly flexible. This allows Supersport’s body structure to deliver rigidity and durability alongside natural elasticity and impact absorption. Morgan’s choice of ash wood is not merely a traditional preference but a deliberate engineering decision that directly influences the driving character.
Each ash wood frame is shaped by master craftsmen with millimetric precision, and no component is produced with a mass-production mindset. This approach ensures that every Supersport carries subtle structural character differences. Additionally, the use of recycled aluminum — accounting for 60% of the aluminum used in the chassis and body — highlights Morgan’s strong commitment to sustainable manufacturing.
Inside, Scottish leathers are cut with exceptional precision using advanced laser measurement technologies, then hand-stitched using traditional techniques. Natural wood surfaces are processed following a minimum-waste principle, creating a warm and timeless atmosphere unique to each car. The aluminum, ash wood, and leather used in Supersport are not merely materials, but the three fundamental pillars that define Morgan’s identity.
The “Supersport” name has represented heightened sporting character and performance focus within Morgan’s history since 1927. Today, Supersport redefines this heritage through modern engineering, a contemporary design language, and advanced driving dynamics. With near-limitless options for colors, trims, materials, and personalization, every Supersport is crafted not just as an automobile, but as a unique work of automotive art that reflects the owner’s personality and taste.
