Reimagined Retro Race Cars

Morgan Motor Unveils New Bespoke Plus 8 GTR with Yas Marina Blue Finish

— December 10, 2021 — Autos
Specialty British automaker Morgan Motor Company has unveiled its latest bespoke offering, the Plus GTR 8. The striking new vehicle pays homage to the old-school Plus 8 race car known as the ‘Big Blue.’

Maintaining the 'Big Blue's classic design codes, the Plus 8 GTR features five-spoke center-lock wheels framed in retro wheel arches and comes equipped with an aluminum revised rear end, front wings, and front splitter. Meanwhile, the car's exterior comes finished in a stunning Yas Marina Blue paint job. Performance upgrades include a new 375HP V8 engine and cannon-style twin-turbo sports exhausts.

According to Morgan Motor, the Plus 8 GTR is being limited to a total of just nine units, making it a rare collectors vehicle that should appeal to fans of the iconic 'Big Blue' race car.
