The front and rear splitter are new, as are the front and rear wings and the aluminium wing mirrors, while the rear view mirror has been redesigned, too. Massimo Fumarola, CEO of Morgan, said: “The latest Plus Four is unmistakably a Morgan for today’s discerning customer. Whilst other models within our lineup offer greater opportunity for experimentation, Plus Four requires a more delicate approach.”
Inside there’s a new ‘lightweight’ sound system from Sennheiser, revisions to the LCD screen on the dash, new interior lighting and a new key fob.
Morgan says the new Plus Four will still “prioritise driving feel above performance figures and lap times”. With these fresh updates comes the option to fit a ‘Dynamic Handling Pack’. The £1,995 pack includes new single-way adjustable dampers and new springs together with a rear anti-roll bar which Morgan says delivers a “greater level of dynamic performance”.
The Plus Four retains its BMW-derived engine. Offered with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic, there’s a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 255bhp and 350Nm of torque (400Nm for the automatic). The manual’s 0-62mph time is unchanged at 5.2 seconds with the automatic taking 4.8 seconds to complete the sprint. Both top out at 149mph.
Morgan says the first examples of the revised Plus Four will be built from May and test drives will begin in June. The British firm also said it is homologating the Plus Four for the US market with the aim of making this the Morgan to be sold across the Atlantic since 2006.
