2011 Morgan Aero SuperSports Targa Convertible

The new Targa-style convertible combined 21st century super car technology and performance with a modernistic interpretation of the classic long hood/short deck styling of the marque's famed 1960s Plus 4 SuperSports. Only 100 Aero SuperSports were built at Morgan's famous Malvern Link works before series production concluded in 2011. The offered car is one of the very last of the 33 Aero SuperSports dispatched for U.

S. delivery. Following its receipt by the vendor, a California Morgan dealer, the SuperSports was displayed at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.

The Aero SuperSports body, engineered by Morgan Design, uniquely blends traditional English coachbuilding principles with truly advanced construction methods. The aircraft- style superformed aluminum outer panels were hand-finished by skilled craftsmen during the assembly. The body is wedded to a world-class adhesive-bonded aluminum chassis.

This truly remarkable Aero SuperSports was ordered with a unique combination of optional and special-order features. The Morgan's optional Bentley Silver Lake Pearl Metallic finish, with removable top panels atypically painted to match, is complimented by its silver-finish alloy wheels. The striking and probably series-unique specially ordered tri-tone interior is trimmed in Scottish leather in shades of light blue, dark blue and pale gray—with seat and door inners stitched in a quilted diamond pane pattern.

Air conditioning, power windows and an optional Alpine sound system contribute to the luxurious interior environment. The BMW-sourced Aero SuperSports 4.8 Liter V8 in this car is factory-equipped with a specially ordered rear-exit Aero Racing quad-outlet dual-exhaust system. Replacing the standard side-exit dual exhaust, it raises horsepower to approximately 380.

The BMW six-speed automatic transmission includes a manual shift feature. Weighing in at about 3000 lbs. curbside, the Aero SuperSports promises 0-60 times in the four-second range, with top speed exceeding 170 mph.

Accompanied by a factory-prepared photographic book documenting its build, this extraordinarily special and spectacular Aero SuperSports Morgan awaits its first owner.
