Iconic British brand Morgan Motor Company has unveiled its latest £100,000 flagship model
The 115-year-old firm revealed its new Supersport with the help of Top Gear star Richard Hammond at its headquarters in Malvern, Worcestershire, England.
The lightweight two-seater, which is now on sale, comes with a BMW six-cylinder engine that produces 335bhp.
It can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in just 3.9 seconds and reach a top speed of 166mph thanks to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Inside, the interior features Bluetooth connectivity with handsfree calling, an enhanced Sennheiser audio system, and wireless mobile phone charging.
Morgan showcased the ‘Armeria Lilac’ hard top and a stunning ‘Bahama Blue’ soft top at its Pickersleigh Road factory in Malvern.
Both models will be made using Morgan’s tradition of hand crafting a CXV-aluminium body over a wooden frame.


The Supersport has a price tag of £102,000 and is expected to replace the Morgan Plus Six, which ceased production last year.
Former Top Gear host Hammond was joined by Morgan’s Managing Director, Matthew Hole, and its Chief Design Officer, Jonathan Wells, for the live reveal.
Morgan said: “The new Supersport represents an evolution of design, dynamics and refinement in equal measure.
“Its evolved level of dynamic sophistication is achieved thanks to its new CXV aluminium platform.
“Supersport reinforces the analogue driving experience synonymous with Morgan sports cars, giving driver’s greater feel and a deeper connection to the vehicle.”
