“The car, launched today at the Geneva Motor Show..“ Interesting article, especially because the Geneva Motor Show has been cancelled

Yes was the editor asleep?
But it does look much nicer with the wood dash etc.
I wonder if KH will have a demonstrator yet?

Oh Yes! Narrower, manual 6 speed,18k less than 6, BMW 255 bhp. Just has to be the sweet spot.
Time to cash in our ISA's guys. This one could be a classic.

Still not clear whether the manual gearbox is from BMW or Mazda. The knob suggests the latter. I would think BMW as the 255 turbo bhp is a bit top end for the Mazda.

The Carfection video said they won’t have one to drive for a month from now.

So, in the Plus 4, the jump in power is from 154 to 255 hp. Too much, in my opinion. Maybe 200 hp would have been an optimal limit. ¿Will be the 4/4 the next to change? Apparently it is BMW who sets the rules when it comes to engines. ¿Is there a BMW engine small enough for the 4/4? ¿Will Morgan perhaps decide to respect his long time agreement with Ford to put the two-liter GDI (ex Plus 4) in the 4/4? ¿And what about the Roadster? Following the current trend, ¿will Morgan replace the Ford Cyclone V-6 and 280 hp with the BMW six-cylinder twin-turbo and 335 hp from series 4,5 and 7? And if they continued to use Ford engines, ¿would there be a replacement for a more modern engine? and if so, ¿which one? ¿the four-cylinder Ecoboost 2.3 liter twin turbos and 291 hp, the V-6 3.0 lts. twin turbos and 400 hp from the Explorer, the V-8 5.0 lts. and 449 hp of the Mustang, which one? Nice topic for a debate...

I'd like a new 4/4 - or perhaps that should be Four/Four - to have a three-cylinder turbo producing 130-140bhp. I think that would be a nice car. But perhaps it would have to be called Four/Three!

I do think that there must also be an entry car...in the pipeline 255HP - is a big figure for an entry level car?
It looks very good though....AND is priced about right - well done MMC!
Honesty means doing it right, even when no one is looking!
