A Morgan with controversial modern styling and a fantastic (now enlarged) BMW V8 engine made headlines when launched and has its sights set on America. The Morgan Aero SuperSports (originally the Morgan Aero 8) is a very specialist car which combines huge power, light weight and the feel of a raw sportscar. Safety has been improved for the American market, but it’s no sophisticated cruiser.
