From rocks to a few cathedrals to the new Morgan Plus Four and Plus Six, they all have one thing in common: they seem immune to the passage of time.
Looking straight out of the 1930s, Morgan models have managed to stay true to their underlying principles, with (few and sparse) updates — like new engines and until, recently, a new chassis. — to appear “under the skin”.
However, even these “monuments” the other age of the automobile industry are not immune to the demands of modern customers and that's why Morgan decided to update them… a little.
Grants to modernity
This update for 2022, (designated Model Year ‘22 or MY22) focused on bringing the two British sports cars into the 21st century, offering them an important (but discreet) technological boost.
Inside we find “modernices” such as LED lights and two USB sockets to charge the smartphone, which was already possible to pair with the Morgan Plus Four and Plus Six via Bluetooth.
In addition, and still in the field of gadgets, the Plus Four and Plus Six also received the “concierge” function, which keeps the exterior lights on 30 seconds after we have removed the ignition key.
The other news
For the rest, all the other innovations could be applied today as well as 60 years ago. There is a new hood (which has lost its locks and offers, according to Morgan, greater protection from the elements and greater sound insulation) and even new seats (Comfort and Comfort Plus).
To complete the news, the Morgan Plus Four and Plus Six will display the new British brand logo. According to Morgan, this represents "a new level of digital craftsmanship that fits neatly alongside their famous culture of building unique models."
As options, the lower grille in black, a new storage compartment that can be locked and a sports exhaust system should be highlighted.
As for the mechanics, there is nothing new, with both continuing to make use of BMW units: the B48 (2.0 Turbo 258 hp) in the case of the Plus Four, and the six-cylinder in-line B58 (3.0 turbo of 340 hp) in the case of Plus Six.
