2008–2015 Morgan Aero 8 Specs & Performance

The Morgan Aero 8 takes a different route to sports-car performance, pairing unmistakably traditional craftsmanship with engineering that gives the car a much more modern edge. Its long bonnet, sculpted bodywork and distinctive front-end styling preserve the character of a hand-built British roadster, while the low stance and purposeful proportions make its performance intentions clear. Rather than relying on elaborate styling or electronic theatrics, the Aero 8 puts its emphasis on mechanical character, open-air driving and a direct connection between driver and machine. It occupies a distinctive place in Morgan’s history, showing how the company could evolve its traditional approach without abandoning the individuality that sets its cars apart.

Produced from 2008 to 2015, the Aero 8 uses a naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8 producing 362 hp and 361 lb-ft of torque. Power reaches the rear wheels through a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, giving buyers a choice between hands-on involvement and easier cruising. With a claimed top speed of 170 mph and a 0–60 mph time of 4.4 seconds, this two-seat convertible combines classic British character with serious straight-line performance.
