The Plus 8 is an iconic sports car built by British
firm Morgan, and it's making a comeback as a limited edition model. Named
Morgan Plus 8 50th Anniversary Special Edition, the car will be limited to just
50 examples, which will be sold through the brand's dealership network at an
undisclosed price.
Underpinned by a lightweight aluminum chassis, the
Morgan Plus 8 50th Anniversary Special Edition "will be the last 50 Plus 8
vehicles Morgan builds with the acclaimed BMW 4.8-liter V8 engine", the
automaker said.
Tipping the scale at 1,100 kg, this is
"one of the lightest V8 passenger cars in the world", according to
the firm, needing just 4.5 seconds to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h, before
tapping out at 250 km/h.
Nothing else is known about it so far, although
enthusiasts won't have to wait that long for the reveail, as it will celebrate
its world premiere at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, which starts on March 6 for
the press, and two days later for the public.
