That is bloody stunning

I'm not a massive Morgan fan, but hell that looks great...

it's lost the boss-eye looks, and the back end is much better thought out (style wise).

Also impressed at the 1,180Kg's (dry) weight, makes what Lotus are doing look heavyweight.

Only surprising bit is how low power the BMW engine is - a 4.8L V8 with only 367Hp? (I assume it's the old N62B48 from the X5?)

Fabulous looking thing.

Good on Morgan for carrying on with this car! Lovely looking thing, cant help but think it would look better with a Spyker style wheel...

[Laurel Green]

A splendid looking thing but, please put the steering-wheel back on the right side, Mr Morgan.

[Amirhussain]

Nice.

[MidnightXR6]

Not a fan of that gear knob.

[Andy665]

Absolutely stunning

Love this car + the flat cap!

Having driven an aero coupe, I have to say that the engine in its current power output (don't forget its an old BMW unit, was in their 550's and 750's for years and years) is perfectly sufficient for a car with such little weight to it - that said I am not a balls out track day enthusiast. Though this isn't a track car of course!

I am not sure whether I prefer the old rear end or not. However, I really like the new cabin detailing.

The front is still not great which is probably why most of the official pictures focus on the rear or the interior. But aside from that it does look a lot better than the cross eyed original version.

It's STILL cross eyed?!
