Morgan unveil the AR Plus 4 at Silverstone Classic
Morgan is showcasing a limited-edition racing-inspired version of the Plus 4 at this week’s Silverstone Classic meeting.
The AR Plus 4 commemorates 65 years of the Plus 4 and will be manufactured by AR Motorsport, Morgan’s racing division.
The car will be powered by a 225bhp Cosworth engine – the most powerful 2.0-litre yet produced by Morgan, and the first time the company has used a Cosworth engine in one of its cars. The AR Plus 4 weighs just 900kg and should reach 0-60mph in around 6 seconds.
Despite its racing pedigree, the AR Plus 4 is a road car, and Morgan will produce a limited run of 50 cars. A number of upgrades are included over the standard Plus 4, including adjustable shock absorbers, and a new suspension system and brakes. Styling features include aluminium floor and door panels, 16-inch matt black alloy wheels, footwell lighting, ‘AR Motorsport’ detailing and a black Union Jack badge.
Morgan has also added more insulation to reduce road and wind noise affecting the interior and improve the car’s road usability. LED headlights and tail-lights are included, and the cabin features a redesigned dashboard, crafted from Morgan’s core materials of ash, aluminium and leather.
The AR Plus 4 will be priced from £54,995, with Morgan reporting it has already taken several orders for the new car.
