Morgan does not have to follow the same safety regulations as mass-market brands because of the company’s tiny size – it makes only a couple of hundred vehicles per year.
This also makes it exempt from net zero targets such as the Government’s zero emission vehicle mandate. The Malvern Hills-based company has said it intends to keep selling combustion engine cars well into the 2030s.
The Supersport 400 has a top speed of 180mph – making it slightly more powerful than a 911 – and is the follow-up to the previous Supersport model. Each one is handmade.
Matthew Hole, Morgan’s managing director, said: “Supersport 400 is the purest expression of Supersport … all while remaining true to Morgan’s core principles of creating beautiful and engaging lightweight sports cars.
“From the outset, our aim has been to create a vehicle that is sharper and more deliberate, ensuring the additional power is delivered in a way that feels balanced, intuitive and deeply rewarding for the driver.”
