Morgan Plus 8 GTR

The well-known British car company Morgan has been known for its traditional solutions for decades. Today, it presents its new Morgan Plus 8 GTR project.

The Plus 8 GTR was inspired by the ‘Big blue’ racing model who was a participant in the FIA GT championship in the late twentieth century. Morgan will only make nine copies of this car.

Morgan claims the new model will be one of their most powerful cars to date. You may be wondering what is hiding under the hood? Well, Morgan provided more than a powerful engine. It’s BMW’s 4.8-liter V8 that will deliver 600 hp to the rear axle.

The price is not yet known, buyers will be able to pick up their cars at the end of the year.

Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo

Three years ago, Porsche introduced the first all-electric Taycan, the Mission E Cross Turismo. Today, Porsche is finishing production of a more practical version of the crossover, the Taycan Cross Turismo.

Porsche has released a video showing the pre-production test model driven by Stefan Weckbach, head of Porsche’s all-electric Taycan program.

Compared to its predecessor, the Cross Turismo has better suspension and a greater distance between the floor and the ground, which allows it to better master different surfaces. The new model has more luggage space compared to the previous model.

It is assumed that the car will have the same engine as the 4S model. Weckbach states that the new model offers more space in the rear seats, which indicates that the Cross Turismo has a larger wheelbase compared to its predecessor.

For more information, we will have to wait for the official presentation of the new Taycan , which should happen in the coming weeks.
