Morgan Aero SuperSports (2009–2018) Overview
Overview of the Morgan Aero SuperSports targa, built from 2009 to 2018 in a single 368 hp generation with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive.
The Morgan Aero SuperSports is a targa built from 2009 to 2018 with 368 hp, a manual gearbox, and rear-wheel drive. It suits drivers who want an open-top sports car with a large-displacement 4.8-litre engine and a hands-on, three-pedal driving experience rather than modern automatic convenience.
Morgan Aero SuperSports generations
1 generation (2009–2018)
The first and only generation of the Morgan Aero SuperSports ran from 2009 to 2018, offered exclusively as a targa. The lineup contains a single modification: the 4.8 MT with a 4799 cc engine producing 368 hp, paired with a manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The Morgan Aero SuperSports 4.8 MT accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and has a combined fuel consumption of 12.4 l/100km. With only one modification across the entire nine-year production run, the range stayed remarkably consistent — every Morgan Aero SuperSports built shares the same 368 hp drivetrain layout. The power range of the model is flat: 368 hp at the bottom and 368 hp at the top, since the 4.8 MT is the sole engine and transmission combination ever offered. All cars of this generation combine the targa body with rear-wheel drive, and no automatic gearbox was available at any point between 2009 and 2018.
Which Morgan Aero SuperSports to buy
- 4.8 MT (1 generation): the only version offered, with 368 hp from its 4799 cc engine, 0–100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, and 12.4 l/100km combined consumption.
On the used market, the choice is simple: every Morgan Aero SuperSports from 2009 to 2018 is the same 4.8 MT specification, so the decision comes down to model year and condition rather than picking between versions. Later cars from the 2009–2018 window simply carry fewer years of age, with no mechanical differences between production years to weigh. Whichever year a buyer chooses, the car delivers the same 4799 cc engine, the same manual gearbox, the same rear-wheel drive, and the same 4.5-second acceleration to 100 km/h.
Summary
The Morgan Aero SuperSports is a single-specification targa: one generation (2009–2018), one modification (4.8 MT), one power output (368 hp). The 4799 cc engine delivers a 4.5-second sprint to 100 km/h with a combined fuel consumption of 12.4 l/100km, and the manual-only, rear-wheel-drive layout defines the car's character. Buyers do not need to navigate a complex model range — the Morgan Aero SuperSports 4.8 MT is the entire lineup, and any example on the market shares the same core specification.
