Morgan has teased a new extreme car, the new Aero GT model, has been developed using lessons learned from Morgan’s GT3 racing program. Powering the car will be a 4.8-liter BMW V-8 paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. The engine will match the standard Aero 8’s 367-bhp output, which Morgan says will see the Aero GT sprint from 0-100 kmph in 4.5 seconds and top out at 272 kmph.
The cars will mark the end of the Aero line, the company has confirmed. The first Aero 8 was unveiled at the 2000 Geneva motor show and ushered in a new era for the brand. The car featured a bold new design and more importantly lightweight aluminum construction. Just eight examples of the Aero GT will be built and all build slots have been sold.
