Rumours say that it will be a +4 with four cylinder BMW turbo engine as mentioned before. And it will have around 250 PS.
That could be a very intersting car, but I am curious how they will make it to look good! Even the +6 with its really wide body and quite narrow wings doesn`t look the point. The proportions just don´t really fit. And as I heard, they use the same wide cx chassis and just fit even narrower wings. I hope the best, but I fear that I will not like it.

I agree. Especially with the boxy new wings it would´t look good.

Exactly this, the briefing said retain the current tub but with a smaller footprint. The P6 has quite narrow running boards anyway, so unless they do something about the wing profile it may look like hunched shoulders from the front. However....I didn't like the Aero Plus 8 front end when it was launched, but it has grown on me now.

Given the Aero 8 Series 5 vs the Aero Plus 8 I really liked both the front and back end on the Plus 8 over the S5. I am glad they did the CX in a trad body first before anything else spins off it.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

My guess is that the entry model will have the 197 hp engine of the BMW Z4 sDrive20i. That would be perfect Soleng just like the Classic Plus 8 with a little better suspension if not as long lasting.. The Aero's seem to destroy theirs in very quick time.

The press release stating that a manual gearbox as an ‘option’ is a bit disappointing though

I wouldn't be surprised if nowadays the manual transmission costs extra, and not the automatic transmission.
