Two years after being shown at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show, the Morgan AeroMax has officially begun production. The AeroMax will see a limited production run of 100 units at Morgan’s Malvern facility, all of which have already been spoken for.
While the AeroMax’s body is constructed of a high-tech formed aluminum, its frame — in true Morgan fashion — is made of ash.
Despite its wood frame construction, the AeroMax can withstand the power of a BMW -sourced 4.8L V8. Under the hood of the AeroMax, the 4.8L powerplant is good for 367 horsepower, which can scoot the AeroMax from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds on its way to a 170 mph top speed.
The AeroMax can also be had with an automatic transmission — a first for the Morgan marque.
Standard equipment on the AeroMax includes Electronic Brake Distribution with ABS, cruise control, airbags and tire pressure monitoring.
