Here's an extract on the Roadster
The thing is, we are now in a Morgan that produces four times the power of its forebear, yet still employs the same basic chassis design as the Plus 4 weʼve just stepped out of – albeit with a raft of detail revisions. No question, the Roadster feels blisteringly quick: itʼll blast to its 7000rpm redline effortlessly, accompanied by a strident, cultured V6 bark. Its mid-range performance is exceptional, too, allowing you to dip into a deep well of torque in higher gears. But it all feels a bit too much for a car whose underpinnings hark largely from the pre-war era. Even accelerating hard in a straight line on a dry track, the car feels overwhelmed, twitching at every gearchange. The steering has a little too much power assistance, too, feeling pointy and nervous just off the straight-ahead, though it loads up progressively enough as you apply more lock through corners. But when you do, the front end feels untidy and detached, sending unwanted kickback through the steering system. Braking performance, though strong enough, is also hampered by slightly mushy, inconsistent pedal feel.
