Breaking news from Morgan
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Well folks exciting news from Morgan. A new car. Keeping with the longest running name Morgan have produced, in fact the longest running model of any brand, a new Plus Four.
Features including
*Updated front and rear wing styling to feature a more
pronounced shape, with the top of each wing sitting
flatter than on previous generations.
*New 8-inch headlight unit, designed entirely in house
and incorporating turn signals, to align with growth
in overall car proportion seen with the launch of Plus
Four in 2020.
*New front lower splitter finished in matte graphite to subtly
reduce its visibility, harking back to an earlier generation
of Plus 4 that featured no bumper or undertray.
*New floating numberplate plinth providing a cleaner
aesthetic, particularly in markets that do not require a
front numberplate
*New taillights that incorporate turn signals and stop
light to provide a less cluttered rear wing profile.
* Updated model badge.
* Simplified rear diffuser design, also finished in matte
graphite to reduce visibility and with integrated
numberplate plinth and lights for a clean aesthetic.
* New Morgan-designed interior and exterior mirrors
offering an improved aesthetic and functionality over
previous generations.
* Improved standard suspension and addition of an
optional dynamic handling pack developed with
industry leading experts, Nitron, to offer a rear anti roll
bar along with adjustable damping and ride height.
*Improved standard audio option to include updated
speakers and amplifier.
* Improved Sennheiser audio system with a range of
enhancements enabled by a new amplifier.
* Improvements to interior LCD screens and interior
lighting updates to include subtle nighttime illumination

Excellent. A traditional look with subtle little touches and retains a proper engine. I was bracing myself for the bad news that it was going to be electric. Here’s hoping Morgan never goes down that route.

Haven't they been developing an electric three wheeler for a while now?

No, they’re creating a clockwork engine, truly environmentally friendly.

It’s an experimental research and development car
The best Morgan is the one Francoise Dorleac drives in the movie That Man From Rio.

I think it's early 60's Plus 4, like the one we had here but not a flat rad, you can see it here kzread.info/dash/bejne/hGhnqdWOndmZmbA.html
Love the Morgan brand just fabulous. Subtle changes bit like the man changing his shoes between driving and running up the stairs !

Glad that you watched it closely, you must really be a fan!
Your photographer has your head right in the middle of the screen which is okay, but it would be more interesting to see the bottom half of the cars than your ceiling.

The camera was on face tracking mode, I don't have a photograher, it's just me. However the car I'm in front of is not the latest Plus Four. If you'll like to see more of that one check out the earlier video I did on it here kzread.info/dash/bejne/pHyhvJSIY7HYqLg.html
Sorry, I don’t like to be negative, however, I’m not particularly impressed with the “cleaner look” of the front and rear lights. To me it looks a bit sterile compared to older models which I feel have more character. Now admittedly I don’t own a Morgan and regrettably I doubt one is in my future. I have always pined for a Morgan but living in the States, and the additional costs of an already expensive car (for me) are prohibitive. Of course I can always dream. Absolutely stunning cars!

It might not be your thing, and that’s fine. You’ll never please everyone. Go for a classic, learn a new skill in mechanics , trade up.
Interesting changes; is this "cleaner" look aimed at attracting younger buyers (like the driver in the promo video) whilst at the same time not going too far as to alienate older guys like me that like the 1960s look?

It's uncanny how they capture the typical Morgan owner in their natural environment.

GLAD it's not electric, like they ruined the 3 wheeler. (I'm not opposed to new gen electrics, but it's sacrilege to to it to a classic)

The 3 wheeler isn't electric, was never electric. They have a R & D car but nothing in the pipeline.

@@berrybrookmorgan3482 good to hear that. There was a whole blurb about it on their website a while back and some of the automotive press claimed that there were no more suitable street legal V twins available. My grail car. Happy to hear it's still alive.
"same engine". You might consider relaying to the viewers which engine was the "same engine" "Standard" (Trimuph), FIAT, 6 Cyl, 8 Cyl. Flathead, Twin Cam. ?.

I would say most of the viewers would have seen my walkaround video of the Plus Four, however it's still a BMW sourced inline 4 cylinder petrol engine with a turbo, producing 255BHP(190 kW) at 5500rpm, 258lb(350Nm) at 1000 rpm for the manual and 255BHP(190kW) at 4400rpm, 295lb ft(400 Nm) at 1000-4300rpm for the auto. But that kind of info, in my experiance, turns people off. Most people want to know what it feels like. It's fantastic by the way, bloody fantastic.
Integrated indicators. I am not a fan. But let’s see what they are like in the real world.

And just imagine the replacement cost for one of those bespoke sealed unit 8 inch headlights !! I'd much rather be able to replace blown sidelight/headlight/indicator bulbs separately . And as for the lighweight sound system , 'nuff said !! I revel in the sound of my eight cylinders ....in both V8 and straight eight configurations .
