After the sketches were published in early 2021, Morgan unveiled the first of just nine units of the new Plus 8 GTR, finished in Yas Marina blue.

The car is a reminder of the racing car of the 1990s, and the project began when Morgan came up with a few chassis a few years ago. Seven units will be delivered by the end of the month, and the last in the first quarter of 2022.

Inside, the seats are made of carbon fiber and black leather with a GTR inscription on the header. The car is mounted on 18-inch wheels wrapped in 225/40 R18 88W Yokohama tires.

The Plus 8 GTR is powered by a BMW 4.8-liter N62B48 engine with 375 hp (276 kW), which is 20 hp more than the BMW X5 with the same engine. It is also slightly more powerful than the engine used in the 550i, 650i and 750i in the mid-2000s (362 hp / 266 kW). When it comes to the gearbox, the engine is paired with a six-speed automatic / manual (customer’s choice) transmission.

Morgan has given every customer the opportunity to work with a team to create a truly unique car. Customers could choose whether they wanted a steering wheel on the left or right. Four of the nine cars were sold in the UK, while the rest were sold to buyers outside the UK.
