Morgan Aero Coupe and Plus 8
Fri, 03 Feb 2012Whilst looking decidedly vintage, the Morgan Plus 8 is one of three new models that will debut in Geneva. Moving away from the traditional ash chassis (yes, as in the wood) of the previous car, the new Plus 8 features a bonded and riveted aluminum chassis, similar to the high-performance Aero variants. Externally, the car retains the retro styling that is to be expected of Morgan, but sits on a wider track with deeper rockers.
The second new Morgan is the Aero Coupe. Following in the footsteps of the limited edition Aero Max coupe and Aero SuperSports, the Aero Coupe is essentially a fixed-head version of the SuperSports targa. The car retains the SS's boat-tail rear, complete with Lancia rear lamps and strongly defined centerline. The car is said to be influenced, and honor, the Aero GT3 race car's recent spate of victories in GT racing.
