As far as Morgan is concerned, the V8 engine is dead. Next year it"s set to launch an all-new "wide-body" sports car with a bonded aluminium chassis and a "performance powertrain never before installed in a Morgan". It will, says the company, be the "most dynamically capable production Morgan ever". The as-yet unnamed wide-body will effectively replace the V8-engined Aero 8 and Plus 8 the last two of which have just rolled off the production line at the company"s Malvern factory at the top of Morgan"s line-up. The last Plus 8 which along with the Aero 8 will be kept by Morgan in its heritage fleet is the 300th such car to be fitted with BMW"s N62 V8, which is being retired in favour of a newer engine Morgan"s no doubt pinched from somewhere else.
