Perspective
Launch
After the Morgan Plus 8 was discontinued in 2018, Morgan presented its successor, the Plus Six, at the 89th Geneva Motor Show in March 2019. Compared to the old platform, the Plus Six features a new glued aluminum platform, with the torsional rigidity increased by 100% and the weight of the new basic structure reduced by 100 kg (220 lb). The body still sits on an ash wood frame, which has been significantly reinforced compared to the previous series.[1]
At the launch, the roadster was available in two colors - Emerald and Moonstone.[1]

2022 update
In November 2022, the series received technical updates, including a new brake system and a revised interior.[2] In collaboration with Pininfarina, the special model Midsummer was created, limited to 50 units, which was presented in May 2024 and had its public premiere at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2024. It is a Barchetta without a traditional windshield.[3]
Before production of the Plus Six was discontinued in 2025, Morgan presented the special model Pinnacle, limited to 30 units, to conclude the series in October 2024.[4][5] The successor model is the Morgan Supersport, which was presented in March 2025.[6][7]
Specifications
The Plus Six features a new bonded aluminum platform called "CX-Generation," combined with a wooden frame. This design increases torsional rigidity by 100% compared to the previous aluminum platform used in other Morgan models. Additionally, they extended the wheelbase by 20 mm and reconfigured the interior to provide more space.[8]
The Plus Six is powered by the 335 hp (250 kW; 340 PS) BMW B58 in-line six-cylinder petrol engine and is notably the first model from Morgan equipped with a turbocharger from the factory. The vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds and the top speed is given as 267 km/h (166 mph).[1]
