I bought my +8 for the sound track. How's that for heart over head? Customer of mine has a V12 Bentley - he fired it up for me last week - it sounds amazing! He got out and said " its ok outside - but its double glazed and I cannot hear a thing in there". I ask you!Made me feel better!!!

It will be similar to the Plus 8. You need to find an owner who's maxed one.....Adrian?  All I know is that over a ton in 3rd is easily done and achieved very quickly, and it red lines quicker than you can change gear. A standing 1/4 would be interesting, or how quick from zero to 100 and back down to zero.

V12 or W12? I had the Janspeed exhaust on my GTC - it sounded like a motor launch burbling in the marina. Lovely.

Interesting conversation. I've driven all the range of Morgans and they are all
pussycats. Unless you don't want them to be. I tend to bumble along or even bimble, oblivious of rev hanging or my lack of skill in handling powerful cars and don't exceed the national speed limits.....my front end wobbles if I do!
