2016 Morgan AR Plus 4 - Top Speed
So tightly has Morgan held to tradition that not only do its new cars look like they might have been designed in 1950, they’re built like it, too. This year marks the 65th birthday of the company’s most successful model, the Plus 4. Technically classified as motorcycles to get around British tax rules, these "cyclecars" quickly developed a reputation for glorious powerslides, all-around fun... ") They were nearly identical to the original cars, apart from some slightly updated bodywork and new engines. The smaller 4/4 got a 1. 2-liter, 38. 8 horsepower Standard Vanguard engine, and the larger Plus 4 got a 2,088 cc engine making 68 horsepower. In 1955, Morgan introduced the Series II 4/4 and Plus 4 cars. The smaller of the two now used a Ford small-block of Europe," which was actually engineered by Buick in the late 1940s, then sold to Rover in the 1960s. The +8 model (now Aero 8) was and remains Morgan’s fastest model, but the lighter, cheaper... Morgan reintroduced it in 2005, and since then has been using the Ford 2. 0-liter Duratec engine for power. Exterior Obviously, a big part of the appeal for any Morgan is that it looks pretty much identical to every other Morgan that’s come before. Source: www.topspeed.com
