The Quail is an unusually fitting stage for a car that looks historic without being trapped by its past. The Morgan Supersport will make its North American public debut during Monterey Car Week, one month after completing federal homologation under the FAST Act’s replica-vehicle provisions.

The American specification differs meaningfully from the global Supersport introduced in 2025. Its BMW B46 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder produces 255 bhp and 258 lb-ft of torque, sent through an eight-speed ZF automatic.

That should be ample for a car with a pending-certification curb weight of 2,520 pounds. Still, it is unfortunate that American buyers will miss BMW’s sublime 3.0-liter B58 inline-six. With 335 bhp and the effortless character expected of a flagship grand tourer, it seems almost tailor-made for the Morgan.

The underlying design remains compelling regardless of cylinder count. Hand-formed aluminum body panels sit over a traditional ash frame before meeting the bonded-aluminum CXV platform.

A long clamshell hood, separate fenders, and slim oval grille preserve Morgan’s unmistakable proportions, while interchangeable carbon-composite hard-top and folding mohair roofs give the car genuine year-round flexibility. Each U.S.-spec Supersport can be extensively commissioned at Morgan’s Pickersleigh Road factory in Malvern, England.

U.S. production begins in August, with demonstrators and initial customer cars expected in September. Fewer than 50 model-year 2026 commission slots remain. Pricing starts at $119,995 before destination charges and sales tax; the Supersport is unavailable in California.
