This is BMW V8 version of the Plus which uses a very similar chassis to the Plus E and a near to identical bodywork to the Plus E. It doesn't look like a sixty-year-old sans bodywork does it? How can they bear to paint it?

You know the shape immediately - the Morgan's styling comes from a time when sports cars had 50 bhp. All Morgans are deceptively modern under the skin, but the new Morgan Plus E is positively futuristic by comparison to its looks. Designed by Morgan, Zytek and Radshape, the Plus E is based on Morgan's lightweight aluminum chassis with the revised 'traditional' body from the new V8 Plus 8, which also launched at Geneva. So you can have a V8 which rumbles and grunts, or maybe, you can have one with 200 bhp less that is almost as much fun, whisper quiet and doesn't poison the atmosphere.
