Why? They have realised that for many people the Mustang engine is too powerful for the trad chassis.
Peter you shock me I thought your goal was power and torque, and remember that there have been even more powerful engines put in trad chassis, albeit for racing.

Certainly, but within reasonable limits. I would have ordered the 3 litre Roadster if it had still been available.
For the road I think I would risk getting into trouble with my, let us say, enthusiastic driving style in a Mustang engined Roadster. On the track is a different thing; more run off area, one way traffic, excellent road surface ect. and one would be prepared to drive much harder than one should on the public road.

OK. Let's have some guesses on what it actually is.
My bet is that it is an entirely new model that is a cross between the Aero and the Roadster. Front subframe in steel on an aluminium tub, double wishbone front suspension, independent rear, V6 engine, auto option, air option, stereo option. Maybe even with ABS and airbags.
Why? They have realised that for many people the Mustang engine is too powerful for the trad chassis. I've always said a +6 based on the AERO chassis would be a fine thing! +1

Hopefully Morgan are going to have this car at the Salon Prive show next week on the 3rd September 2014 so all will be revealed then. Cheers Brian (Aeroman) Certainly priced to keep the riff-raff out!
