The Morgan Plus 8 Speedster is a great driver’s car. It’s got direct steering, fine balance and a slight tendency to kick out its tail.
All clad in sexy retro bodywork and pushed along by an excellent naturally aspirated 4.8-liter BMW V8 it makes 367 hp.
It hits 62 mph or 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and it has a limited top speed of 148 mph or 237 km/h.
Car versus motorbike laptime challenges have always felt somewhat silly and pointless, and the video EVO did in which it pits the Plus 8 Speedster against a BMW R Nine T is no exception. However it is rather nice because we get to see and hear the Morgan in action and it really is a sight…
