Specifications
The Plus Six is based on a new bonded aluminium platform associated with a wooden frame called "CX-Generation", offering increased torsional rigidity by 100% compared to the previous aluminum platform used by other Morgan models. The wheelbase is extended by 20 mm, and the interior reconfigured to increase its space.[3]
The Plus Six is powered by the 335 hp (250 kW; 340 PS) BMW B58 in-line six-cylinder petrol engine and is notably the first model from Morgan equipped with a turbocharger from the factory. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds and the top speed is given as 267 km/h (166 mph).[1]
