New Sports Car from the UK

From England, an automotive surprise designed by the venerable Morgan Motor Company.  The Morgan Plus Four CX-T is one of the most retro looking, all terrain, new sports cars on the road today.  The new Morgan, with its all-terrain tires, roll cage and hood rack for spare tires and other gear, is designed for the road less travelled.  And it is true to Morgan's 100-year tradition of elegant cars, including off-road vehicles dating back to the 1920's.

Best of the Past and Future

The new CX-T is road legal; it's not just for an automotive museum, although it is a classic. The body is made of aluminum.  The company says if it's dented, it can be pushed back into shape.  It's powered by a 259 hp. BMW 4-cylinder engine and there's a 6-speed manual gear, which are standard Morgan Plus. Familiar features include the bug-eye front lights, long, curvy side fenders and hood. Beyond that, virtually everything else is a new design.

New Epic Ride 

The vehicle weighs 2800 pounds and comes with survival gear like toolboxes, ropes, shovels and traction mats for journeys in the wilderness. The doors come off and can be attached to the roof for the ultimate open-air ride. Only seven custom CS-Ts are being built for customers at a price of $233,000 each.  A number of automotive reviewers are saying that the vehicle handles well and that it provides an epic new ride.
