Morgan AeroMax headed for limited production
The Morgan Motor Company announced on its website that the classically-styled Aeromax coupe will see limited production.
Originally designed and built as a custom one-off for a private customer, Morgan did a study to see if a production version would be viable. That answer turned out to be yes, and 100 very fortunate buyers will be the beneficiaries. The AeroMax coupe will retail for £94,000, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Interested buyers should hightail it to the Morgan website to get their name on that short list. The luckiest ones will get to park one of these swoopy split-window beauties in their garage come 2008.

If you look at the last "real" Bugatti...the Atlantique (sp?) coupe, it looked a lot like this. Before I saw a picture of the EB series prototype, I thought a new, modern Bugatti would have styling along the lines of that classic. Leave it to that other long lived name in (British) sports cars, Morgan, to build a modern "classic".

That design is uncomfortably similar to the, uh, "rocketmobile" of Ace & Gary. Robert Smigel must be proud.

Suddenly its 1954 all over again! It's almost bizarre but makes me smile, so what the heck?

I'm predicting that I'm in the minority on this one, but I think this car is oddly gorgeous. Plus, there are few sports-car sensations so evocative as sitting way back near the rear axle, watching a long, curved set of fenders bending into the turns.
But then, I still lust after the BMW M Coupe, so what do I know...

It looks like the recent BMW concept that was suppose to look like it was from the early-mid 30's

Wow. If only every car manufacturer was cool enough to keep reasonable prices on limited run cars...we all wouldn't be so bored with cars.

If Morgan succeeds in installing the Aero into the U.S. car culture, the company will be set.

Looks like a pimp-mobile from Gotham city!

Morgan always manages to make a very stylish car. It's almost as if this is a view of the 1930s-1940s style if it had only slightly changed in the modern world.

I like it, but keep wondering if it still has the goofy cross-eyed headlights. Can't tell from the angle.

Any idea what engine is in it?
The open top version was powered by the E39 M5 engine, but that's over with now, so what's in this?
