It does not use anti-roll bars, an oddity in a modern sporting car. It is also the first Morgan vehicle with an aluminium chassis and frame as opposed to traditional Morgan vehicles ("trads") that have an aluminium skinned wooden body tub on a steel chassis.[2] The engine first powering the Aero 8 was a 4.4L BMW M62 V8 mated to a 6-speed Getrag transmission. In 2007, the Series 4 Aero 8 was released which had an upgraded 4.8L BMW N62 V8 with an optional ZF automatic transmission. All Aero 8s are assembled at Morgan's Malvern Link factory, where they are able to produce up to 14 cars a week (Aeros and trads). It has been criticized for its "crosseyed" look[3] which originally was justified by the manufacturers as conferring aerodynamic benefits.[4] In response, Morgan changed the design for 2007 and later cars to a front end design based on the Morgan Aeromax, using Mini rather than VW New Beetle headlights.[5] Morgan AeroMaxThe Morgan Aeromax is the coupe variation of the Aero 8. Production, which was undertaken in 2008 and 2009, was limited to one hundred cars,[6] each costing £110,000. Owners have included Richard Hammond, Rowan Atkinson and Paul O'Grady.{{Citation needed|date=September 2010}} Taillights of AeroMax and Super Sports were borrowed from Lancia Thesis. Morgan Aero SuperSportsThe Morgan Aero SuperSports is a targa-roofed version of the AeroMax, sharing its bonded aluminium chassis and lower bodywork with the coupe.[7] New Morgan Aero 8At the Geneva Motor Show in March 2015 Morgan announced that the Morgan Aero 8 would be revived with a new model.
