Final 50 units of Plus 8 with a BMW V8 Engine.

Morgan revealed the 50th Anniversary Edition special edition of the Plus 8 model, following the first teaser photos last month. At the Geneva Motor Show, it is next to the brand’s ” most extreme vehicle on the road,” Aero GT.

The Plus 8 will finally switch to a new engine after 50 years of being on the market with more than 6,000 units sold. Morgan will sell 50 of the limited edition models. These will be the last BMW-powered Plus 8s.

Geneva’s vehicle is finished in deep Blue, which is reminiscent of the British coachbuilder’s first Plus 8 production model, also known by the MMC11. You will find yellow accents around the grille, bonnet and rear towing eyes.

The Plus 8 50th Anniversary Edition is built around an aluminum chassis and weighs only 1,100 kg (2,425 lb). It can accelerate to 155 mph (250 km/h) in 4.5 seconds.

Morgan managing director Steve Morris comments, “This 50th anniversary edition is a fitting example of the Plus 8’s beauty, finesse, combined with raw exhilaration, and capability.” “Performance has been the foundation of every Plus 8 that has driven out of our factory doors for 50 years. We’re thrilled to unveil the car in Geneva.”

The Earls Court Motor Show 1968 saw the launch of the original Plus 8. In 2004, the Rover V8 engine that was used in the original Plus 8 was retired. However, the car returned in 2012 with BMW power as well as a lightweight chassis.
