Lets see what the magazine test reports bring up when they get past their normal " this is new and therefore the greatest" approach obligatory in first tests.
I wrote a long article on here a while back when I tested and compared an Aero 8, an Evora and ( I think) an F type. To me it was clear then that the Aero 8 was a point and squirt machine not up to scratch when it came down to poor british surfaces and bends - great fun in a straight line but not in the same world as the Lotus. Dont think my comments were that well received amongst this group of Morgan groupies but it was my honest opinion. And it wasnt surprising given the level of technical resources available to MMC. They had done as well as they could with what they had.
The Plus 6 is clearly better. But I wonder how well MMC have done, how much resource they can throw at this sort of development. After all they havent got the resources or tech skills of a consultancy like Lotus. And its worth adding that they dont have the ability to tailor the engine utput which BMW will have designed to suit a fully electronified car. So what we see might be a modern version of the early Porsche Turbo issues - sudden surge of power as it comes on boost??
