The Aero 8 is a modern interpretation of traditional Morgan styling and contemporary underpinnings. An all-independent suspension, AP Racing disc brakes, and a BMW-sourced 4.4L DOHC V-8, mated to a 6-speed manual provide all the proper performance hardware expected from a current sports car. The Aero 8 still has an ash wood frame, combined with a bonded aluminum alloy chassis for optimum handling and strength. Morgan claims a top speed of 160 mph for the Aero 8
