Ke hele mai nei ka Aero 8 me kahi mīkini 4.8-lita BMW V8 e pani ana i ka ʻāpana 4.4-lita ma mua. Ua hoʻonui ʻia ka mana mai 25kW a i 270kW a ua hoʻonui ʻia ka torque mai 40Nm a i 490Nm.

He $255,000 ke kumu kūʻai a no ka manawa mua no Morgan, hāʻawi ʻia kahi hoʻoili maʻalahi no kahi $9000 hou.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Morgan Cars Australia ka luna hoʻomalu ʻo Chris van Wyck ua loaʻa ka Aero 8 ma aneʻi.

"He ʻehā makahiki iaʻu e hoʻokō ai iā lākou ma Australia," wehewehe ʻo van Wyck.

ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona 4 he ea hou me nā puka puka, kahi hoʻokuʻu lima i hoʻoneʻe ʻia, ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka ea i mua, ka wela hou ma nā kiaʻi mua, a me kahi pahu nui ma muli o ka pahu wahie i hoʻoneʻe ʻia.

He 1445 kg wale nō kona kaumaha ma muli o kāna chassis aluminika a me ke keikikāne e kōkua iā ia e wikiwiki i 0 km / h ma lalo o 100 kekona, ʻoiai ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wahie he 4.5 lita no 10.8 km. ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu CO100 he 2 g/km.

ʻOiai he 19 mau kala Morgan maʻamau e koho ai, e pena pū ka hale hana Morgan i ke kaʻa i kekahi kala kaʻa, me nā leo ʻelua, no ka $2200 hou.

Aia kekahi koho o nā kala kāpeti hulu hipa, ʻehā lāʻau hoʻopau, kahi alumini a i ʻole graphite panel, a me kahi koho o nā kala no ka mohair palupalu ʻelua.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Van Wyck ke ʻae nei lākou i nā kauoha no ka Aero 8 a ʻehiku poʻe i kau mua i kahi waihona $1000.

"ʻO nā mea nona Morgan ka hui like loa o ka poʻe aʻu i hālāwai ai: nā kāne heterosexual baby boomers, a kūʻai lākou a pau i nā kaʻa no ke kālā," wahi āna.

"No lākou, ʻo ia ka hoʻolimalima ʻokoʻa āpau.

“ʻO ka pilikia wale nō, ʻaʻole lākou e wikiwiki no ka mea he mau kaʻa hou aʻe kā lākou. Kūʻai lākou ke mākaukau lākou. "

Manaʻo ʻia nā hiʻohiʻona maʻamau i ka makahiki aʻe e hoʻokomo i ka Roadster, Plus 4 a me 4/4 Sport.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Van Wyck ʻaʻole i ʻike ʻia nā kumukūʻai a me nā kikoʻī.

"ʻO wai ka mea ʻike i kahi e loaʻa ai ke kālā a he aha nā ʻauhau aupuni o Australia e loli ai?" wahi āna.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Van Wyck ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka papa inoa kali no nā papa mele.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia aia kekahi koi no nā noho ʻehā i loaʻa ma ʻEulopa ma Plus 4 a me Roadster versions.

"Ma muli o nā koi ADR, ʻaʻole hiki ke kūʻai ʻia nā Morgans ʻehā mau kaʻa hou ma Australia no kahi o ʻelua mau makahiki," wahi āna.

"E like me nā hōʻike, hiki ke hana hou i ka makahiki 2011."

Eia nō naʻe, ke kūkulu ʻia nei kahi prototype cell fuel LIFECar me ka hui pū ʻana me Cranfield University.

"Ua ʻike ka hale hana ua pilikia lākou no ka mea ua ʻelemakule ka mākeke pēpē pēpē heterosexual a ʻaʻole lōʻihi loa," wahi a van Wyck.

“ʻO ka moʻolelo holoʻokoʻa o Morgan e pili ana i nā kaʻa māmā a me ka wahie ma muli o kā lākou hana, no laila ua aloha lākou i ke kaiapuni.

"No laila no ke aha e kūkulu ʻole ai i kēlā hoʻoilina kaiapuni ma ka lawe ʻana i kahi kaʻa zero-emission i ka mākeke?

"ʻAʻole au i ʻike i ka manawa, akā ke manaʻolana nei au i nā makahiki ʻelua a ʻekolu paha.

"Makemake au e hele ma ʻaneʻi no ka Sydney Motor Show, akā aia i lalo o ka hoʻomohala ʻana, no laila ke koʻikoʻi nei lākou."

Ua kūʻai aku ʻo Morgan i ʻekolu mau kaʻa i ka makahiki i hala a ʻelua i ka makahiki ma mua i kahi ʻoihana waiwai ikaika.

"Eia naʻe, ua loaʻa iaʻu me Morgan nā pilikia hoʻolako," wehewehe ʻo ia.

Eia nō naʻe, manaʻo maikaʻi ʻo van Wyck e kūʻai aku i ʻeono i kēia makahiki ʻoiai ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ke kālā.

Ke hoʻonohonoho nei ʻo Morgan Motor Company i kahi ʻano hoʻolauleʻa keneta ma ʻEnelani i Iulai a me ʻAukake, a ua manaʻo ʻo van Wyck i kahi hui o nā mea nona Australia e hele mai me kā lākou mau kaʻa.
