    Default Morgan AeroMax enters limited production









    From Autoblog

    Considering how often Morgan radically changes the design of their vehicles, the company has shown up rather often on our pages as of late. Last week, the Morgan LifeCar was shown in Geneva, and while we are impressed by the concept that the enigmatic British company was able to crank out, the AeroMax isn't a concept, but a real vehicle that is now officially in production. Originally announced in 2006, the AeroMax successfully blends modern and retro in both design and engineering. Featuring a frame made from ash wood, a body pounded into shape from aluminum and a 4.8-liter, 367 horsepower V8 engine from BMW, the lightweight sporting coupe can accelerate from 0-60 in just about 4 seconds and keep going to a top speed of around 170 mph.

    Despite the seemingly low-tech construction methods, this is the first Morgan to feature an automatic transmission and a Canbus wiring setup. Other standard features include Electronic Brake Distribution with ABS, tire pressure monitoring and dual power rear windows which open like wings allowing access to the available leather luggage. According to Morgan's website, all 100 are already spoken for, but they've started a reserve list in case any orders get canceled. If you want one, better get on that list soon.

    Seen an Aero 8 up close and it was about the most impractical thing I could imagine. It and that thing look badass but I'd rather spend 100k on something else.

    Ohh, so what, this is 1932? Looks well engineered but couldn't they make it look like it was at least modern?

    How modern can a car be with a wooden frame?

    Exactly, what's the point in owning a car like that unless you just want it to say that. It's cool enough, but why model it to look like ass from the 30's?
