Morgan Aeromax Coupe

Made during 2008 and 2009, it was decided to make a limited production run of 100 cars, all of which were sold within just a few weeks of its announcement.
Innovations in producing the coupe include a world first, the use of high tech super formed aluminum panels for the entire body. This process allows the most complex of shapes to be made in aluminum, which is then fitted over a traditional ash frame.

The body is bolted to a stiff yet lightweight Aero 8 chassis which is fitted with a 367hp 4.8L BMW V8 engine, making sure the car can’t be described as sluggish. Another first for Morgan is the fact that consumers can now choose to have an automatic gearbox. The 6-speed ZF unit endows the new coupe with better acceleration and fuel economy than the manual thanks to its lock up clutch, low power loss and instant change characteristics.
