The Morgan Plus Four.
-
The Morgan’s latest soft-top roof still requires that you climb out of the car and release a couple of catches, but the entire task takes less than a minute.
-
The interior features heated seats, a Sennheiser Bluetooth audio system, and a dashboard of analog dials, buttons, and an LCD speed readout.
-
Open the two-piece, center-hinged hood and you can see the vehicle’s wooden structure—along with the Plus Four’s power plant.
-
With a curb weight of just 2,293 pounds, the Morgan Plus Four covers zero to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds and can reach a top speed of 149 mph.
-
The Morgan Motor Company has been hand-building cars in the United Kingdom’s picturesque Malvern Hills since 1910.
-
The Morgan Plus Four is fit with a rebadged BMW B48 engine: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder mill that musters 259 hp and 295 ft lbs of torque from 1,550 rpm.Â
-
Drive goes to the rear wheels via either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic gearbox, though only the latter will be homologated for the U.S. market.
-
Modernity hides beneath its aluminum skin, but the Plus Four presents styling that harks back to a bygone age.
