RE: All-new Morgan Supersport revealed

[Deranged Rover]

“Most driver-focused sports car we’ve ever made”

“Eight speed automatic gearbox”

Don’t think so.

[sidesauce]

Why does the rear of the car with the hardtop on remind me of a stormtrooper helmet?

As others have said, this is one fugly looking car, definitely has a strong element of "lashed up" about it.

Oh dear....at least he Lego kit will look almost the same

[BadOrangePete]

Rear screen looks odd to me, think its too big? Otherwise I love it

[WPA]

Front is awful, they say all new but hard to notice when they have used the same styling since 1940

Price wise is punchy with other choices

Just never understood Morgan's

Love it without the hard top - looks great.

Not so sure with the hard top on - it's a bit 'Noddy' esque...

Yep. Been trying to see why this is. It looks like the angle of the hardtop is steeper than the angle of the rear below the hardtop.
Doesn't do it any favours IMHO...

[nickchallis92]

DOA with that gearbox

[RandomCarChat]

Very retro future, I wasn't sure at first but wow they have done a good job.

[fantheman80]

Looks like the McMurtys grandad - awks with the hardtop on for sure

[Vocht]

Phenomenal car and brilliant live unveiling on Youtube. Great to see Morgan doing a great job moving into 2025!

The older Morgans have grown on me but this is a bridge too far. The hard top looks awkward and that face at the front... I'd have to pass.

I thought it they’d resurrected Dark Helmet from Spaceballs

[hypermark]

I'm all for trading on your heritage but this is hideous; they need to employ some better body designers...........

[LightweightLouisDanvers]

I'd much prefer an earlier Plus 8.
Modernising the traditional looks just leaves it looking awkward.

[edoverheels]

Looks brilliant to me and light and fast as well.
But, for me, no manual means no interest in actually owning one.

Kill it will fire - immediately.

I used to think Morgans looked awful...

The older I get, the more I like Morgans. This one gets a thumbs up from me.

Yep.

[McRors]

I’m not convinced. The colour is awful and trying to fuse old and modern makes the look incoherent in my view. I want to love it but I can’t.

[DoctorX]

I’ll take one without the hardtop and with all the chrome bits stuck back on.

[1974foggy]

Looks great, Im always a sucker for a nice monoblock type alloy wheel.
Im lucky to have driven a few morgans, Im sure it will have a lot of charactor.
