Morgan CX-T Review: Is this Dakar-inspired Plus Four rally car really worth £200k? | Top Gear
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Here we go then. Yes, it’s a real thing. Morgan calls it the CX-T. CX refers to its latest generation all-aluminium bonded platform with 100 per cent better torsional rigidity than its predecessor. The T is for Trialling, a form of motorsport that involves people bouncing up and down in wheeled bathtubs while getting covered in mud. It’s niche. And expensive. A £200k Morgan with an exoskeleton developed by a rally firm. But is it any good? Well, Top Gear’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, had a go to find out.

Wondering what Hammond thinks of Morgan doing this 🤔

I honestly expected Richard, Clarkson, and James to be on this video, im really dissapointed in BBC and Top Gear for firing them.

basically, jeremy (i think) made a “racist joke” and the BBC was pissed and fired him and then Hammond and James retired i think, dont worry they’re still doing content in a show called ‘The Grand Tour’ they’re allowed to do many stuff now

@All Warten Aus Das Licht oh you’re actually right, thanks
We don’t see many cars released nowadays specifically for fun. It’s not trying to be the best off-roader, but if will be a bloody good time on four wheels.
To be honest we should thank TG for keeping the old episodes on KZread, they are still gold.
I haven't watched top gear since the legends left, and I haven't missed a damn thing. Lame, boring, a disappointment. But I do love that car

Can't see them limiting the production to 7 cars, unless they're particularly adverse to becoming millionaires.
I'm an old off roader in Colorado and I'm impressed with this little guy. It could use some more space between the tires and the body. But damn, it looks like a blast to play in.
Should be making more and selling at a 80-120k price bracket. Surely a market out there for that.
I love it. It's absolutely insane. Make it a production model and I'll crawl to Malvern.
If I wanted to have fun in a quarry, I'd rather spend my 200k on 4 Ariel Nomads and invite my friends along.

I'd want this car as well to compare it to. My Ariel Nomads will have varying levels of customization, the most extreme a total battery electric one with AWD, ideally a motor per wheel for the craziest torque vectoring. Tank donuts. Rally stage record breaking, rock crawling with the best proprietary crawlers and lovely for a city and village cruise.

True, might as well get a nice can am at that point, easily takes out that price gap by a mile, although I guess it is a little more eye catching than a can am, but I’d rather stick to that honestly 😴
In this day and age where everyone believes they need a 4WD just to traverse a gravel carpark (particularly here in Australia), people have forgotten just how capable a properly setup 2WD car is. This is a perfect example (dust ingress aside.....)
yeah, i cant see many cars being able to go where this thing can go, grass fields and smooth dirt roads look absolutely impassable to a normal car
Yep, it is an all-rounder! We don't need an off-road miata, but this WWII-era Off-road inspired car is all one needs.
A hand made British sports car with a modern BMW drivetrain that's been designed to go off-road sounds like a great way to break down in a beautiful remote landscape
Why not buy a Morgan Plus-Four and an Ariel Nomad, and that combo will cost you less than this CX-T.
For £200k I can build you 2x, an Overlander and a rally inspired Honda
That's an astonishing rally classic, good review and presentation too! But there's something Top Gear lacks since Clarkson, May and Hamster..

Actually Jezza just wanted a warm lunch after a disasterous rainy shooting, rumor has it that he punched him for being a dickhead, and bringing cold lunch after a cold rainy shot. And afterwards, contrary to general idea, he reported the incident himself and resigned himself. But that's not the only reason of course, Jezza was emotional that day as he lost his mother Shirley Gabrielle Clarkson day before that evet.

@@richardpierpoint3006 you can wiki it, it's all there, her mother's death date etc. God, I remember watching her competing with Slow and Hamster's mothers. Perhaps she couldn't ride a yaris but she grew a legendary child. Rip Misses Clarkson!
My only criticism: the air filter inside that leather bag. Looks nice and I understand why they had to do it but they should've found another way.
Hello Top Gear. This Morgan Plus Four CX-T need to be come out in next INDIANA JONES movie!!!
Props to Alex Bellus Photography on this artwork!
Dang I had no idea y’all kept it going that’s liiit
OMG is the best video Topgear made this is a dream come true
I miss the old top gear
That last sentence was a clever way of asking for a second ride
Ive always loved Morgan, but what theyre doing nowadays... mamma mia! Its incredible! Wish them the best!
I almost was worried that you were going to say the diff was fully locked
I think it's an utter travesty. To only make 7 of these.
Where I come from his "serious off road track" is what we would call "a normal driveway". 😁

I'd like to see repair costs. I'd bet that you wouldn't sling it around too much if it costs an arm and leg to patch it up again.
Probably the best looking car I've ever seen, since the Gullwing and XKE.
Dakar and Morgan, hmm...
Banda adha time to hasta hi raha hai 🤣 🤣🤣🤣 hasane ke lia me apko like de raha hu par car gazab hai
If I win the lottery, I would go for one of these. Superb looking, seems like great fun.
1: dislike the video 2: comment saying the old top gear was better 3: watch it anyway
I like how Carfection started their review by launching the car over a huge pile of shale and Top Gear is like "lets see if it can go up a gentle grassy hill!"

What's next, a Rallye Caterham? I hope so.
Not really an off road car closer to going from a road bike to a gravel bike. This is more of a gravel car.
Make a video on duel 1971 movie car
Wonderful!
How many so call "younger audience" can afford this car ? I'll stick with the dirt bike
Miss the old guys
Nothing is better than a left side drive British car 😏
Keep it on the paved road
Dirt 5, Forza Horizon 5? We need it in a game soon.

you know when someone tries their darndest at something but still doesn't achieve the intended result? That's what "new" top gear is all about.
Don't suppose anyone knows where abouts they filmed this?
Coolest Morgan ever! Love it!!!
Top Gear has now been reduced to 'car review show', for which there are 101 other youtube channels. Old top gear was entertainment first, then some banter, then maybe some offensive comments about a new car. Such a shame.
Damn, that's crazy, but you should ask these guys to interview James May, Jeremy Clarkson, and Richard Hammond what they think about this car. I only came to this video to tell you to bring the boys back. Fart noises.
Never been on gravel before? Come to Texas, we drive like that to get a pint of milk!
Shame they put the steering wheel on the wrong side, but then I forgot that Morgan is an Italian company now.
Kudos to Morgan for innovating so much despite limited resources
we want the old legends back
Now that's a thumbnail...
i wish jeremy clarkson was still in top gear
I'm sorry but off-road cars don't have fenders, the running boards SHOULD come off that's why they were designed that way all those years ago.
Bring back Jeremy clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May....
The comment section is filled with comments about the previous presenters. How ironic
It’s ground clearance needs to be 2 inches higher
Reminds me of Rich Rebuilds KZread channel making the Tesla Model 3 an off-road mean machine!
What happens if EV is stuck by lighting?
Old morgan: trialling Modern Morgan: Dakar rally?
Me watching to the Golden Trio: 😊😂😂😂😂😊🤔😯 *looks of enjoyment* ; me watching the sh***y replacement because I hope for a new Golden or Silver Trio, but ending up with the same brown trio: 😐😑😞😐
Maserati vs BMW? Which is your fav?👍
Thought it was Clarkson Hammond and May, skip
Trouble is only people like Richard Hammond are gonna considered buying one
Fun it maybe, but, I wouldn’t be spending £200K on a Car like this, how about a second hand Bowler if you like doing stuff like this?
To me getting the car is my priority,that's why I work now and save to invest in crypto or stock market so as to purchase it as soon as possible.
I’snt same without Jeremy Clarkson
Carro Top
The road to my house is more off road than there
thought this was 5th gear for a second
Imagine this at Dakar? Go on Morgan.Do it! :)
Richard hammond going to buy onr
I have a car at home that can do everything This car can off-road, but better and for a fraction of the price.
Is nice.
