It is frustrating that Morgan were not to able to engineer the transfer of the excellent BMW traction control/stability control system that they use with the same engine and drivetrain.
BMW use it in the M140i and Toyota use it in the new Supra.
The system is outstanding. Subtle but works brilliantly.
Driving my M140i, especially on damp or wet UK roads, the TC light often illuminated if you were pushing on, and that's in a car with a much higher curb weight and heavier rear end.
I recall my test drive on the Plus Six... in 'manual' mode on wet/damp roads, it was easy to break traction even with sympathetic throttle application knowing the potential to to so. I would imagine a 'kick down' in 'Auto' would seriously surprise the unwary.
I totally agree that a 'driver training session' on track should be included with any Plus Six purchase... surely this would also be in the interests of MMC to ensure the car does not get a 'reputation' that could impinge on sales.
That is very interesting to read that their own car (BMW) is totally manageable for a sporting car so all the technology is there, what is your take on the difference knowing both cars, is it the weight differential or inability to put the extra tech into the Plus Six, I honestly don't know but have read enough experienced drivers reports on here to know something is amiss.
Like you I worry that this car will gain a reputation like some of the rawer TVR did which is a very negative thing for all parties.
