Description
OVERVIEW
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2011 Morgan Aero 8 SuperSports showing just 6,863 km (4,264 mi) on the odometer at the time of cataloging. Finished in Matterhorn Silver over a Red leather and wood-trimmed cabin, this ultra-rare Morgan roadster is the definition of 21st-century coachbuilding.
Based on the Morgan AeroMax, the stunning SuperSports features the same superformed aluminum body bonded to an aluminum chassis with a layer of ash hardwood sandwiched in between, around the passenger compartment.
Visual excitement comes in the form of a removable targa top, the better to enjoy the naturally aspirated BMW-sourced V8 roaring up front. An incredibly long hood, low-slung greenhouse, and sweeping fenders housing spectacular 19” wheels imbue the SuperSports with head-turning good looks.
Today’s example stuns in Matterhorn Silver and is 1 of only 129 SuperSports produced by the legendary British automaker. Sporting style unlike anything else on the road, this Morgan is an exceptionally rare and beautiful beast.
NOTABLE COMMENTARY
-
“...the SuperSports is a pure eye magnet. You could park it next to anything this side of a gold-plated Veyron and be confident it would win the majority of attention.” - Car and Driver
-
“With plenty of Bavarian muscle shifting not a great deal of weight, the Aero Supersports lives up to its name. It’s seriously rapid, in a way that few cars are today.” - Top Gear
-
“A fusion of swoopy, timeless curves and hunkered down, muscle-bound demeanor, Morgan’s Aero SuperSports sure makes a statement.” - Drive
