A New Era for Morgan Motors in the US: Four-Wheeled Funniness Arrives

In a Surprising Twist, Morgan’s Four-Wheelers Make Their Debut in the US Market

Morgan Motor Company is on the move, and their historic brand is finally venturing into the US market like never before. While enthusiasts have grown accustomed to three-wheeled thrill-rides, the upcoming Plus Four marks a major development in Morgan’s stateside expansion. This luxurious yet quirky ride is bound to capture the hearts of automobile aficionados and driving enthusiasts alike.

a Replica Car Exemption by Any Other Name?

To clear bureaucratic hurdles, Morgan is slapping the Plus Four onto the US market with an exemption clause, which bypasses federal regulations thanks to the replica car provision written into the FAST (Fixing America’s Surface Transportation) Act. Given their 106-year design roots, Morgan’s distinctive classic look meets the criterion set forth, allowing for mass production. This nifty loophole means the limited-batch Plus Four (think 325 units annually) will hit American roads alongside its UK counterparts, providing a taste of retro allure.

Fly the Flag: An Engineering Marvel with a 250-Horsepower Powerpack

Unveiling the plus4’s technical specs reveals some impressive credentials. With an inline-four, turbo-charged 2.0-liter BMW engine cradling 255 horsepower, this baby packs quite the punch. The dynamic prowess is matched by refined transmissions, offering a manual-six-speed option in the Motherland, but for stateside enthusiasts, a slick eight-speed automatic or that manual option (hopefully still available) will prove effective. As for those bespoke features, the coveted British flair comes with luxurious leathers, wood-trims, and a regressive charm that’s nothing less than intoxicating.
