Morgan
Aeromax
Morgans
traditional line of sports cars was enhanced by the arrival of the Morgan Aero8
2000, in 2005 the Aeromax concept appeared based around the Aero8's chassis.
The Aeromax was designed by Coventry Automotive Design School student Matthew
Humphries.
The
Aeromax concept was based on the requirement for a comfortable long distance
Touring Coupe. Features such as the gullwing boot openings, hardwood and
traditional pleated leather interior and a large flat load area behind the
seats were particular requirements.
The
quarter scale clay model was required to harmonise with the Morgan Aero8
chassis and incorporated the exterior elements of the car that were not to be
specially tooled.
The
Aeromax is an illustration of flexible manufacturing at the Morgan Motor
Company, possible because of its small size, and it took just 4 months from an
initial sketch to being able to test drive a finished car.
Modern
automotive technology is combined with quality craftsmanship in the Aeromax,
Morgans traditional ash frame is laminated for extra strength giving the car
more potential for energy absorption in the cockpit and also ensures durability
and safety.
The
Aeromax is powered by the latest version of BMW's N62 V8, couple this with the
lightweight construction methods and materials and the Aeromax Coupe is one of
the fastest accelerating sports cars in Europe.
