The 2022 MorganMotor Plus Four sports dramatic 21st century updates for return to America:
in 2001—the Plus Four uses the Bavarians' latest turbocharged 2.0-liter four. It provides 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, moving the light machine with alacrity. The engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic whose distinctive BMW-issue gear lever pops out of a new center console—a symbol of Morgan's brave new world. Unwelcome though it might seem, the paddle-shifted gearbox actually suits the powerplant nicely and delivers a stated zero-to-62-mph time of 4.
A six-speed manual option is available in the U.K. but won’t be offered in the U.S. until later. Engine torque is limited to 258 pound-feet with the manual, and the car will take four extra tenths to achieve 62 mph. A 3.0-liter BMW inline-six, making 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, powers the wider and heavier Plus Six model, but that won't be sold to us Yanks.Almost as eye-opening as the revitalized Morgan's ride is its range of comfort and convenience upgrades.
The newly designed convertible top is also due for commendation and didn't once leak over the course of several rain-filled days touring England. The manual lid is only slightly more difficult to erect than a Mazda Miata's top, and a convenient release allows its rear section to be quickly raised for stowing luggage behind the seats. Improved sealing helps the old-school side curtains actually keep out the rain, another revelation.
The firm may be old, but boy is it also plucky. And the new Plus Four gives us hope that when a battery-powered Plus Four arrives one day, it will continue to tug on the heartstrings just as its storied predecessors have for so very long. Good show, chaps.
