The most extreme Morgan to date, the upcoming Aero GT, has been previewed with a series of teaser images. Morgan Motor Company says it’s a “gloves-off” version of the Aero 8 which marks the end of the famous British sports car’s production.

The new race-inspired Morgan Aero GT will adopt the lessons learned from Morgan’s GT3 victories, featuring an all-new hand-worked body which is designed to reduce drag and increase downforce. The bespoke new Aero GT will come with new wing top louvers, deeper side sills and a big rear diffuser. Each example will also be heavily customized according to each owner’s taste.


Power will come from the BMW-sourced 4.8-liter V8 with 367 hp, paired to a six-speed manual gearbox. 0-62 mph comes in 4.5 seconds, with the top speed set at 170 mph. This will also be the final appearance of the naturally aspirated BMW V8 as the Bavarian company has stopped its production. Morgan will build just eight and already sold-out examples of the Aero GT, which will also be the final eight Aero 8 models to come out of the company’s Pickersleigh Road factory in the UK.
