Morgan Aero 8 GT: This BMW V8 Powered British Sportscar is INSANE!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

#Morgan #Aero8GT #sportzntouring
We went on a Morgan factory tour and experience drive - and while we were there, we found this! The Morgan Aero 8 GT! This is a Morgan car that had a limited production of only 8 cars . This is our favourite Morgan of all time!
On the factory tour, we saw how Morgans are made using 100 year old coachwork combined with modern engineering. Morgan really are a unique car maker! We also drive the BMW powered Morgan Plus Four.
Morgan boast a number of famous owners of their cars, including Shmee150 who once owned a Morgan 3 wheeler and Richard Hammond who once owned The Morgan Aero Max. We see examples of these models while touring the Morgan factory and showroom.
Special thanks to @morganmotorcompany for the arrangements they made to allow us to film this video.
CORRECTION: The Sport Plus button sharpens throttle response on all Plus Fours and opens the valves if you have specified the optional sports exhaust.
This group tour was kindly organised by @JayEmmOnCars but these experiences are open to anyone...

    As always, great video guys! I'm actually a huge secret Morgan fan. My old boss had an Aero 8 (previously belonged to Rowan Atkinson - or so he led me to believe). I really must head down to the factory and grab some content like this - looks like you both had a total blast - I just love how genuine your excitement and curiosity for the cars is - it really sucks me into the video and makes me want to learn from you both!

    The AeroMax you show at 7:23 was the factory demonstrator and used by Charles for much of the PR. The Aero models first came out in 1999 with Modern Beetle headlamps fitted on "wrong" sides leading to the Clarence cross eye issues. From the S3-4 and then the Max onwards they had the intended modern Mini headlamps you see there. Try one with the dual sidepipes and hear the V8 at high revs, you will laugh your heads off.

    They are a pastiche of the old Morgans. They get away with it as they can serve a limited market. But a great alloy chassis and BMW drive chains are crying out for a modern body that justifies the cost of these cars. There’s a great chief designer there who surely must be champing at the bit to produce something special. With the new design and development centre built perhaps that’s something being worked on? Fingers crossed.
