Morgan Plus 8: 1100kg motor BMW 4.8 V8 390cv/Morgan Aero Coupe V8/Morgan Roadster 3.7

[cybermad]

El roadster V8 mas ligero del mundo, que preciosidad :xray:
(creo recordar que es el modelo que mas tiempo lleva manteniendose fiel al original, bastantes mas años que el 911)

Morgan has officially released their New Morgan Plus 8 ahead of its official debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.

The new Morgan Plus 8 makes use of technology from the aircraft industry to achieve an unladen weight of only 1100kgs. This makes the Plus 8 the lightest V8 passenger car in the world approved to European safety standards. The car also has one of the stiffest chassis of all the convertible roadsters available today.

The Morgan Plus 8 has been described as ‘a true drivers car’. The car is the most comfortable classic Morgan that the company has ever built. The convertible mohair roof is easy to erect with a double thickness liner for insulation. There is plenty of space for the tallest of drivers. Air conditioning is standard equipment in the leather lined cockpit which includes a lockable stowage compartment. A radio/CD player is standard equipment with a high quality speaker system.

The Plus 8 is also the only Classic Morgan available with a six speed automatic transmission. The 4.8 liter BMW V8 engine is available with either a six-speed manual or an automatic transmission. The gearbox can be operated in two modes, ‘Sport’ and ‘Auto’. The steering and the ABS brakes are power assisted.

In ‘Sport’ mode the engine holds its gear to 6,500rpm and blips the throttle before making a down shift. The maximum power is 367bhp or 390bhp with sports exhaust. The maximum torque is 490Nm. The power to weight ratio is around 333bhp per tonne and a 0-100km/h of 4.5 seconds combined with a top speed of 250km/h.

A customer can also personalise his Plus 8 to his individual taste and the choices are virtually inexhaustible.

Morgan Aero Coupe :xray:

Morgan Aero Coupe

The British automaker Morgan will be bringing their Morgan Aero Coupe to this year’s edition of the Geneva Motor Show, which opens its doors in March. The Aero Coupe is an advanced supercar designed for practical long distance touring. The strong and rigid vehicle is inspired by the GT3 Aero.

The Morgan Aero Coupe is constructed entirely from aluminium. The individual alloy parts are formed from tooling and hand assembled by skilled craftsmen. The stiff aluminium chassis cradles the 4.8 liter BMW V8 engine linked to a six-speed manual or an automatic transmission. The gearbox can be operated in two modes, ‘Sport’ and ‘Auto’.

In ‘Sport’ mode the engine holds its gear to 6,500rpm and blips the throttle before making a down shift. The maximum power is 367bhp or 390bhp with sports exhaust. The maximum torque is 490Nm. The power to weight ratio is around 320bhp per tonne and a 0-100km/h of 4.5 seconds combined with a top speed of 273km/h.

The cockpit of the Aero Coupe features ash hardwood, which surroundes the cockpit and doors. It can be hand polished in a colour of your choosing. The leather work is stitched with twin needles and combined with suede effect panels. Pressure point reclining seats support the occupants strongly.

The Aero Coupe comes with a full specification as standard. A powerful standard sound system creates audio definition as crisp as the lines of the exterior, according to Morgan. It can also be customized to a person’s individual taste and choice.

MORGAN ROADSTER 3.7 - 950kg, motor V6 Ford cyclone 280cv, manual 6 marchas, trasera y con diferencial autoblocante mecánico :supz:

The third new model that Morgan will showcase at the Geneva Motor Show 2012 is the New Roadster 3.7 liter, which uses a new Ford Cyclone six cylinder engine.

The new powerplant offers a smooth and consistent power delivery all the way up to the maximum engine revolutions of 6,850 per minute. The overall weight of only 950kg for this aluminium car spells a power to weight ratio of around 295bhp per tonne. Power delivery is transmitted to the road through a limited slip differential with cone drive.

The six-cylinder engine is linked to a six-speed transmission and offers 280bhp at 6,000rpm and a maximum torque of 352Nm. The sprint from zero to 100km/h is done in 4.9 seconds and the top speed is 225km/h.

The cockpit offers the perfect driver’s environment with plenty of room combined with real leather. The large speedometer and rev counter are fitted into a completely new dashboard featuring electronic warning systems and digital and analogue displays for all engineering functions. There is even a stopwatch to measure your lap time. The instruments and dials are framed in wood and the highest quality materials are used throughout this coachbuilt car.

The convertible roof is easy to fasten and provides a warm secure environment. A customer can also personalise his Morgan Roadster to his individual taste and the choices are virtually inexhaustible.

 

[Dison]

Precioso!

 

[cybermad]

Esto si que tiene que dar "sensaciones" :supz:

 

[Gulf627]

Aunque por estetica no me apasiona....solo el resto del coche basta para querer tener uno :xray:

 

[Corazón BMW]

Las llantas desmerecen un conjunto retro muy apetecilble. Una BBS con ligera garganta o una multirradio elegante de época hubieran puesto la guinda al pastel.

 

[Bimmer]

j*der, pues a mí hasta por estética, me ponen brutísimo los Morgan.
Menos mal que han evolucionado lo suficiente para no seguir empleando chasis de madera... :fs:

 

[tnp69]

Muy chulo

 

[polormcf]

Le ganan 23 cv con el "sports exhaust"? No os parece demasiado?

 

[Catulo]

Precioso, lo único que no me gusta en el roadster es el volante.

 

[*NANO*]

Impresionante. 390 cv para 1100 kg. Tiene que ser acojonante poder llevar un biplaza ligero con un pedazo de V8 y casi 5 litros, y todo ello a cielo abierto.

Precioso, lo único que no me gusta en el roadster es el volante.

No sé quién es el fabricante de ese volante, pero son varios los coches que lo llevan; entre ellos los Ruf.

 

[Eddie The Great]

Quien pillara uno :tonqe

 

[Barbinski]

Morgan es especial, aunque llevarlo "a lo bruto" no es lo suyo....Está hecho para cruzar la campiña, melena al viento, con alegría y sin brusquedades.

Tengo pendiente uno de mis tests, con un Morgan....:-#

 

[Invitado24]

a mi la estetica como que no, pero simplemente lo que se tiene que sentir en el montado ya me pone a mil

 

[bestcar]

Perfecto salvo las llantas....con unas retro...mucho mejor

El tercero en discordia, (el que a mi me gusta ) MORGAN ROADSTER 3.7 - 950kg, motor V6 Ford cyclone 280cv, manual 6 marchas, trasera y con diferencial autoblocante mecánico :supz:

[Josué]

Buenísima pinta retro en general, aunque no pegan las llantas del Aero.
Eso si, asustan las dobles salidas de escape con esa piel de "cordero".

El morro del Coupé no me gusta nada... parece bizco... aunque la trasera lo compensa, me parece muy original, aunque rompa tanto con la estética retro.

 

[BMWorks]

Enjendro :vom:

Eso sí, el antiguo pues se ve que en su época era todo un lujo de deportivo!

"Engendro"?.
"En su época"?.

Chico, que son coches que se fabrican en la actualidad, con tecnología aeroespacial algunos de ellos!!!.
Juasss, en su época...

 

[hector8]

a mi no me gusta nada, para conducir un clásico casi prefiero comprar un clásico, porque un coche actual con la estética y los problemas de un clásico pues como que me corta el rollo, pero bueno supongo que tendrán su público, menos mal que por lo menos ya no tienen chasis de madera, porque eso debía dar la risa en un choque

Rivales directos de los Caterham no?

 

[locko31]

jo...quiero uno

 

[Eau Rouge]

Yo he podido conducir un Areo 8 con el motor BMW y es brutal lo que empuja, no tiene fin.

Estas fotos son del Centenario de Morgan que se celebró en el año 2010.

Menuda suerte, que buena experiencia tiene que ser conducir un Aero 8, otro Morgan que me gustaria probar seria el 3 Wheeler

Una foto de uno que vi en el Haynes Motor Museum:

Recuerdo ver un triciclo de estos circulando por Inglaterra a mediados de los 80 conducido por una dulce abuelita.

El del museo es el original con sus 100 años, y el que llevaba la abuelita probablemente tambien

Es el acabado Spitfire

En realidad es un poco más joven... Es un Supersport de 1938.
