Evolving Timeless Design The design intent for new Plus Four has been to simplify and reduce visual noise, allowing the timeless silhouette of Plus Four to be further celebrated. The front and rear views are characterised by the introduction of new lighting, wings, front splitter, rear diffuser, and floating front and rear number plate plinths. These changes culminate in a refreshed visual identity and an overall cleaner appearance. The new front and rear lights – manufactured exclusively for Morgan – have been conceived by the company’s in-house design and engineering teams and are free from the constraints that a readily available lighting unit imposes. The introduction of the new front and rear lights is evidence of the company’s wider ethos of enhancing usability and quality, whilst maintaining the timeless appeal that is synonymous with the brand. The new 8” headlight has subtly grown in diameter over previous models by 1-inch, helping to return the more traditional proportions of Plus Four – which grew slightly when moving to the CX-Generation Aluminium Platform in 2020. The new headlight design incorporates the front indicator, allowing for the removal of separately mounted indicator units, this feature is also reflected within the rear lights. Both front and rear lights emit a more powerful and higher-quality light source than previous models. The front and rear wings on new Plus Four have been entirely reformed and are now constructed using a cold forming technique. Whilst the changes are deliberately subtle, they feature a greater level of surfacing, influencing the way in which light reflects over the wing profile, adding tension and evoking a more sculpted volume. To coincide with the introduction of new front and rear wings, the latest Plus Four features a new front splitter and a new rear diffuser, both of which feature a floating number plate plinth. Both the front splitter and rear diffuser are finished in dark matte grey paint to reduce visibility and lift the visual weight of the car. This feature harks back to period Morgan sports cars, many of which featured no front undertray or bumpers, thus creating a pronounced horizontal line at the lower section of the wings and central cowl. A new model badge features Morgan’s own H.F.S. Bold typeface. Inspired by car badges that used italicised typefaces and repeating speed lines, the badge is a contemporary interpretation of classic automotive brand design. Both the rear-view mirror and wing mirrors are new. Each has been designed in-house and is manufactured exclusively for Morgan. Far surpassing the engineering integrity, functionality and aesthetic qualities of previous mirrors, the new units are made from lightweight aluminium and are homologated for all existing markets. Whilst subtle, the meticulous attention-to-detail and rigorous testing process of the new mirrors represents the level of detail upon which the company is now operating. Pure Driving Enjoyment Plus Four prioritises driving feel above performance figures and lap times. The company’s engineering team pursue dynamic performance that rewards the driver, giving them a greater connection to the car and the road ahead. Plus Four is available in manual and automatic transmission variants and is powered by the latest BMW 2.0 litre engine. The latest Plus Four features a change to the standard suspension consisting of new spring rates and re-valved dampers. In addition, an optional Dynamic Handling Pack – extensively developed alongside suspension experts, Nitron, – will be available from launch. The Dynamic Handling Pack is manufactured exclusively for Morgan and includes new springs with single way adjustable damping and adjustable spring platform, as well as the addition of a rear anti-roll bar. These changes help to deliver a greater level of dynamic performance and, like the Plus Four overall, aim to deliver driving feel and enjoyment. Enhancing occupant interaction with Plus Four has been a primary focus for the company’s design and engineering teams, and is consistent with the ethos of blending tradition with appropriate modern technology. Specific updates for Plus Four include the Sennheiser audio system, enhancements to the LCD screen and dashboard, new interior illumination, and a new key fob. These changes enhance the user experience, seamlessly integrating with the vehicle without detracting from its timeless appeal. The lightweight Sennheiser audio system, first introduced to Plus Four in 2022, has been enhanced for the latest Plus Four. The enhanced system utilises additional ‘invisible’ speakers in the cockpit, specifically underneath both seats, and higher-specification conventional speakers within the doors. As with the previous iteration of the audio system, Sennheiser’s tuning creates the magical illusion of a broad sound stage in front of the passengers, providing a high-quality soundtrack, and now an even greater range of volume and increased Bluetooth range. The visual identity of the Sennheiser premium audio system is maintained thanks to the speaker grilles located on each door. The grille design takes inspiration from the iconic louvres that are stamped into each bonnet of a Plus Four, and feature the Sennheiser logo. Plus Four drivers will now possess greater control to influence the audio choice with new track pause and skip functionality, operated using the existing volume control dial – therefore removing the need for additional switches. Volume display and track ID will be shown on the LCD screen, situated between the temperature and fuel dials in front of the steering wheel. Further changes to the LCD screen include a range of visual enhancements to graphics, whilst all dashboard button lights are finished in white. Reflecting the changes to exterior lighting, new interior lighting helps to illuminate the elegant cockpit of Plus Four. Using higher-quality lighting modules and more intelligent programming, the illumination experience has been enhanced, and features fade-in-fade-out technology. The position, direction, and configuration, of all lighting has been meticulously designed and evaluated to achieve the optimum scenario for occupants. Plus Four, a legacy First introduced in 1950 at the Earl’s Court Motor Show in London, the Plus 4 has proven to be one of the company’s most popular models. Named Plus 4 due to its increased power over the 4-4 – the first four-wheeled Morgan – which was introduced in 1936. For the first four years of its life, the Plus 4 featured a ‘flat’ radiator and cycle wings. From 1954, however, the ‘cowl radiator’ design was introduced. This is the timeless silhouette that has become synonymous with Morgan, and the design proportions that today’s Plus Four continues. Thousands of examples have been produced throughout its life, with exports proving popular to all key markets including the USA. It was a Plus 4 that won its class at the 1962 Le Mans 24 Hours race, the company’s most notable motorsport triumph. A Plus 4 was the first car owned by Ralph Lauren and, to this day, features in his collection – one of the most revered automotive collections in the world. Its centrality within the story of Morgan is unquestionable. 21st Century Coachbuilding Like every four-wheeled Morgan produced today, Plus Four combines a blend of traditional craftsmanship and appropriate modern technology, a philosophy which the company refers to as ‘21st Century Coachbuilding’. This philosophy flows throughout the company and influences its approach to designing and engineering each model, as well as the way in which every vehicle is constructed. As part of this philosophy, all models benefit from continued development and incremental improvements throughout, ensuring that the quality of each model is reflective of a modern-day sports car. Reflecting these advances, the warranty on Plus Four is now three years, with the option to extend for a further 12 months. Each aluminium body is hand-formed over an ash wood frame. This body, which is beautifully made using age-old techniques handed down through generations, is seamlessly married to an ultra-modern aluminium platform with the latest braking, suspension, and electronic systems. The finest Scottish leather, itself a by-product of the food and agricultural sectors, is used sparingly within the cockpit of Plus Four. This leather is trimmed into each car using traditional techniques and tools. By the nature of the model’s hand-crafted manufacture, natural materials are used sparingly with minimal waste produced. Bespoke as Standard At Morgan, there is no ‘bespoke’ department. Every Plus Four that enters production is bespoke as standard. Beyond the almost endless combination of colourways and options available to configure, prospective owners can go beyond this and request additional materials and features for their new Plus Four. This approach ensures that every Plus Four built is a true ‘one-off’ and is as individual as its owner. Availability The new Morgan Plus Four is available to order now, with the first models going into production in May 2024. Prospective clients can expect to test drive a new Plus Four at UK and European dealerships starting from June, and are encouraged to register interest with their nearest Morgan dealership or through the official Morgan website. Morgan is currently working with the United States authorities to achieve homologation for the new Plus Four. Whilst there are no timescales for entry, the company is in advanced stages of approvals and is confident it will meet all requirements. This will be the first four-wheeled Morgan to achieve homologation in the United States since 2006.

XP-1 is a key tool for ensuring that the characteristics of past and present Morgan models that have attracted so many admirers, transition into future electric Morgan sports cars. Maintaining the principles of being lightweight, analogue, engaging and most importantly, a joy to drive are key to the future product strategy of Morgan’s electric future. XP-1’s battery, motor and inverter combination represents Morgan’s first ever powertrain, be that internal combustion or battery electric. The powertrain, engineered specifically for XP-1, gives Morgan’s engineers complete control of calibrations to create a range of driving modes featuring a mix of driving characteristics, providing the opportunity to define exactly how an electric Morgan should drive. To aid with the identification of suitable component combinations for the powertrain – both for XP-1 and future Morgan electric models – an in-house developed full vehicle toolchain has been created by Morgan’s engineers. This toolchain is key to modelling the compatibility and suitability of a range of different powertrain components, calculating the range prediction algorithm and simulating different scenarios that can help the company to benchmark against future requirements. The toolchain has also helped to enable aerodynamic improvements on the XP-1 over Super 3, simulating multiple design iterations to ensure maximum range and efficiency, resulting in a 33% reduction in drag coefficient. A bespoke interior display allows for user interface (UI) experimentation. XP-1’s display will continually evolve, allowing engineers and designers to gather feedback on how users interact with the vehicle, and the best way to communicate key vehicle information in future sports cars. Other experimental features include external charge level indicator LEDs surrounding the front cowl and new aerodynamic wheel trims. In building XP-1, we have started the extensive process of workforce training and infrastructure adaptation. Our coachbuilding production methods mean that building up this internal knowledgebase is vital for future production of electric Morgan sports cars, focused around workshop readiness to build EVs, training for high voltage systems handling and installation of charging infrastructure. XP-1 continues our core principle of developing cars with an undiluted driving experience. As XP-1 evolves so will its story. As a presentable prototype, it will become a visible project that takes our community along with us on our journey to electrification. You can expect periodic updates on the progress of XP-1 and to see the vehicle popping up at events, both at Morgan’s factory and further afield. XP-1 is built on the monocoque chassis of the Morgan Super 3, discover more about Super 3. If you would like to keep up to date with XP-1 and future Morgan projects, leave your details below.

Surprise Bitches, Morgan sta preparando una nuova 3 Wheeler per il prossimo anno. A quanto pare perderà il motore a vista.

PRESS RELEASE Che splendore, la Morgan definitiva. 😍 Se ne volete una, affrettatevi, ne faranno solo 8 ad un prezzo di 170k + tasse.

La mitica Morgan ha ufficialmente richiamato dalla pensione la Plus 8. Il modello, uscito di produzione nel 2018 per essere sostituita dalla più moderna Plus Six, ritorna come serie limitata di 9 esemplari e con la sigla GTR. La Casa ha ufficialmente diramato questi 2 bozzetti: l'ispirazione viene dai modelli che a cavallo tra gli Anni ’70 e ’90 furono convertiti all’uso in pista e oggi la GTR ne eredita diversi dettagli di design: splitter anteriore, prese d'aria maggiorate, cerchi monodado, diffusore posteriore. Il cuore dell'auto dovrebbe sempre essere il 4,8 litri aspirato di BMW, ma ci si aspetta abbia più dei 367 cv che aveva nell'ultima evoluzione. Il motivo di sole 9 nove dipende dal fatto che Morgan riacquistato un lotto di 9 telai originariamente destinati a un progetto mai portato al termine. I primi esemplari sono attesi entro la fine del 2021. https://www.morgan-motor.com/2021/02/plus-8-gtr/

Oggi ho visto questa ed ero già contento così Poi 20 minuti dopo ho visto questa... Perdonatemi, lo so che non è il topic giusto, forse bisognerebbe aprirne uno di avvistamenti di supercar.

Prima o poi sarebbe docuto succedere. Dopo 83 anni di onorato servizio, Morgan dice addio al telaio in acciaio a longheroni per la gamma delle tradizionali. Ora non solo la Plus 6 avra' il telaio in alluminio, nella nuova declinazione CX (evoluzione del precendente telaio in alluminio usato sulle le Aeroe sulle Plus 8 > 2012). . E' stata una bella avventura. Da cosi A cosi:

Morgan sarebbe al lavoro su una sportiva utta nuova. Non un rimpiazzo diretto per la Aero 8 (che invece arriverà piü avanti), ma qualcosa di intermedio, su una piattaforma completamente nuova e decisamente piü performante dell'attuale. Probabile motorizzazione un V6 turbo. Autocar.co.uk https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/morgan-reveal-new-sports-car-fresh-platform-2019
