New Morgan Plus Four Revealed With New Chassis And BMW Turbo Engine
Morgan has revealed the all-new Plus Four as the brand’s latest entry-level model and the second one to adopt the company’s aluminum CX-Generation platform. Despite looking very similar to the old Plus 4, the historic British brand says that the new Plus Four is 97 percent new – also notice how they swapped “4” for “Four” in its name. The all-new Morgan Plus Four was developed alongside the also new Plus Six during the past four years, with the aluminum platform providing a much more rigid basis than the old steel chassis. Since this is a Morgan, a hand-made ash frame is still present, alongside hand-beaten aluminum panels and a hand-trimmed leather interior. Power comes from a BMW-sourced 2.0-liter four-cylinder TwinPower turbo engine that produces 255 HP and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. Combine that with a dry weight of just 1,009 kg (2,224 lbs) and is no wonder why the new Plus Four can achieve a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.8 seconds. Top speed is set at 149 mph (240 km/h)...
