The Morgan Plus Six is a sports car produced by the British Morgan Motor Company since 2019. It is a two-door roadster with a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and replaced the Morgan Plus 8.
After the Morgan Plus 8 was discontinued in 2018, Morgan presented its successor, the Plus Six, at the 89th Geneva Motor Show in March 2019. Compared to the old platform, the Plus Six features a new glued aluminum platform, with the torsional rigidity increased by 100% and the weight of the new basic structure reduced by 100kg (200lb). The body still sits on an ash wood frame, which has been significantly reinforced compared to the previous series.[1]
At the launch, the roadster was available in two colors - Emerald and Moonstone.
In November 2022, the series received technical updates, including a new brake system and a revised interior.[2]
The Plus Six features a new bonded aluminum platform called "CX-Generation," combined with a wooden frame. This design increases torsional rigidity by 100% compared to the previous aluminum platform used in other Morgan models. Additionally, they extended the wheelbase by 20 mm and reconfigured the interior to provide more space.[3]
The Plus Six is powered by the 3350NaN0 BMW B58 in-line six-cylinder petrol engine and is notably the first model from Morgan equipped with a turbocharger from the factory. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds and the top speed is given as 267km/h.
