The new Roadster matches the classic Morgan motoring experience with sensational performance. At its heart lies a highly advanced new power unit which makes it lighter, more agile and faster.
Its powerful new 223 Bhp 3.0 litre engine can take you from 0 to 60 mph in a blistering 4.9 seconds.
Whilst its refined suspension, low centre of gravity and near perfect weight distribution ensure that this sports car always maintains outstanding balance and poise.
The Roadster. Proof that classic principles can be thrillingly evolved.
While fashions come and go, true beauty never fades. One glance at the grand, sweeping lines of the Roadster tells you that you are in the presence of an iconic sports car.
An elegance that can be observed in even the finest details. Look inside and you will see classic clocks set inside a subtly refined walnut dashboard. Then as your gaze sweeps forward over the Roadster’s distinctive long bonnet, you begin to realise that this car can stir the soul even before you turn the key in the ignition.

Central to every Morgan is our pre-eminent mastery of creating handmade sports cars. Qualities that are exemplified in the Roadster.
Here, traditional coach-building techniques are employed alongside the highest quality materials. Aluminium coachwork is built around a beautifully crafted ash frame, underpinned by a solid steel chassis.
A level of craftsmanship that makes the Roadster an individual pleasure in a mass-produced world.
