Omschrijving
This Morgan Plus Six brings two worlds together. Morgan’s distinctive lines and traditional character have been retained, but beneath the surface lies modern technology that makes the car considerably faster and more refined than its appearance might suggest. It is precisely this contrast that makes the Plus Six so special.
With its deep green body colour, this 2024 model has a quintessentially British look. The light-coloured leather interior provides a lovely contrast to this. The green colour is also echoed on the dashboard, whilst the light-coloured interior trim extends across the centre console and door panels, amongst other features. It gives the car a classic look without feeling old-fashioned.
Under the long bonnet lies a 3.0-litre inline-six turbocharged engine producing 340 pk and 500 Nm of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. With a kerb weight of just 1,120 kilograms, these figures are more than sufficient. From a standing start, the Plus Six reaches 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds, and its top speed is 267 km/h. The rear-wheel drive lends it the playful character that is synonymous with a Morgan.
Yet a Plus Six is not just about performance. With the roof down, the long bonnet in front of you and the compact cockpit surrounding you, you experience speed in a completely different way to that in many modern sports cars. The driver is much closer to what the car is doing, and it is precisely for this reason that every journey doesn’t have to be driven at high speed to feel special.
This Plus Six thus perfectly illustrates what Morgan stands for today: classic design and traditional craftsmanship combined with modern performance. A sports car for the enthusiast who looks not only at how fast a car is, but above all at how much character and driving experience it offers.
