The revised version, <strong>known as the CXV platform<\/strong>, retains its predecessor\u2019s bonded aluminum construction while introducing improvements in torsional rigidity (up 10%), suspension mounting point stiffness (up 100%), and steering response (up 13%).<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/H9aziuVDb10?si=UU51VjQ47oOxLOub\" width=\"560\" height=\"550\" frameborder=\"0\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>All Supersports are open-top cars with an interchangeable roof system that allows owners to switch between a conventional convertible roof and a removable fixed hardtop. A carbon composite hardtop is also available, which Morgan says further enhances vehicle rigidity. The Supersport is slightly heavier than the Plus Six but remains lightweight, tipping the scales at <strong>just under 2,580 pounds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The powertrain carries over unchanged\u2014a BMW-sourced <strong>turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6<\/strong> producing 335 hp. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission (BMW enthusiasts will recognize the familiar shifter) that drives the rear wheels exclusively. Morgan quotes a <strong>0-62 mph time of 3.9 seconds<\/strong> and a top speed of 166 mph. The car rides on 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires, and a limited-slip differential can be added as an option.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its retro design, the Supersport offers plenty of modern conveniences. These include a wireless charging pad, a Sennheiser audio system, and a <strong>driver&#8217;s digital display<\/strong>\u2014thankfully flanked by analog gauges.
