Have I overslept it being the last one who noticed the new web presentation of MMC?

thinking 209kw/280bhp/352Nm and weighing in at under a tonne...my mathematics ends up with a higher top speed than the stated 225kph/140mph (download brochure on Morgan site)...or maybe 225kph is more than enough with the top down innocent

Top speed is dependant on gearing as well as power, although the 3.7 has a longer back axle ratio than out going Roadster until we know what the box ratios are it doesn't tell us much. Speeds quoted by MMC are fairly approximate, quoted figures often just to give a nice step up from one model to the next, ie 116mph 4/4, 120mph +4, 140mph for the Roadster. Whether you ever get a chance to put it to the test is another matter............. wink

I made an enquiry regarding delivery of a new roadster and was told they won't be building them until next year.

Anyone else got orders in place ?

The morganwire says that the first batch of Roadsters are in trim. My dealer says they are still waiting for the engines frown

Anyone got any other versions?
