Morgan Plus 8 GTR is the last Morgan to feature a V8 engine until 2025 .

The Plus 8 was first introduced in 1968 and enjoyed an unbroken production run until 2004 .

It was discontinued in 2004 due to the collapse of MG-Rover Group .

Morgan couldn't resist revisiting the V8 , so in 2021 , it unleashed a limited-run version of the Plus 8 .

Morgan dropped out of the US market in 2008 after it decided not to modify its offerings to fit the US ' ever-tightening safety regulations.

After a 15-year hiatus from the nation, Morgan returned in 2023 by offering the latest version of the Super 3 , a three -wheeled weapon that uses a Ford three -cylinder engine.

Morgan is taking advantage of the Replica Car Bill, which allows low-volume manufacturers to sell up to 325 examples of cars that are at least 25 years old .
