Wow! This Isn't The Morgan We Know! 340hp Turbo Morgan 'Plus Six' Review | PetrolHead Tours | C&M
Рет қаралды 17,628
2 жыл бұрынPete from PetrolHead Tours was very kindly lent a Morgan PlusSix press car by Morgan for the weekend, so I just happened to be at his house the same weekend, and we organised a PetrolHeadTour mini meet up and run up to Caffeine And Machine, then had a blast round in the Morgan in the afternoon, tried to figure the car out, and shot this video...
Enjoy!

Great video guys thank you - I’ve ordered one of the last builds this year before they add an air bag so thank you. (Wanted an aftermarket wooden steering wheel) .That open diff is a real challenge and needs serious care and attention as full throttle in first results in skipping sideways - but soooo much more engaging and involving than my 911.

Excess power makes a car effortless which makes for relaxed driving knowing you have more than enough power in any situation. For me that’s a positive not a negative.
@RickTheSpud 4 ай бұрын
To a point, if the chassis can handle it. Doesn't make it effortless in this, it makes it sketchy! No LSD and struggling to put power down in 4th is not relaxed. Rather have less power and use all of it.

The little criticism about the mirrors and the vents are vanishing as soon as this car is driven as it’s supposed to be: open roof and between spring and fall (not in winter time!) 😊

Nice video, and I think one of the few where I’ve heard the engine revving that much! 😀 Just to note - alternative wing mirrors are available if necessary, and heated seats are very useful too!

Good one Rick and Peter. What a great drive and conversation about the Morgan Plus Six . Very stylish, and a proper missile. Great feedback on the interior. Must say your audio is excellent.. would have expected a bit of buffering, there was none. Fingers crossed that Morgan Motors might loan the Plus 4 for review. Cheers mate 🇦🇺
@RickTheSpud 2 жыл бұрын
Ah wow thank you Carol. Glad you liked the audio, I really struggled with it as the Morgan was a bit draughty, and the bit outside had loads of wind noise! So i used an EQ and tried to find those trouble frequencies but I still wasn't totally happy. So bless you for that! 😉👌 Yes, a Plus 4 and a drive myself would be awesome! 🤗

Another great video. I love that Morgan. I think my only "con" would be the "use case" of it? Is it anymore than a day out car do you think given luggage space. Would you track it? Is it a case of less would be more like you guys were saying? Sorry rambling on for a Friday. Love this video mate. One of my faves. Hopefully going forwards i think you'd do great with the whole car / press car review and i hope you get the opportunity! Oh and thanks for the little Silver Renault, her first foray on the internet. It's available to test whenever you like mate!
@RickTheSpud 2 жыл бұрын
No worries mate! 😆 Yeah you could track it, maybe a bit soft for it but you definitely could. Fast enough. Modern enough. Altho I'd track anything, and my 'track' car is old and slow but still fun. Longer trips away for luggage space might be a bit of an issue, I'd love to know what Morgan owners do with luggage, stuff it behind the seats maybe. Luggage box? Dunno. Good to see you up there mate, car looked super smart, will definitely have to meet up and do some sends in the French beast! 😇👌
@technicalscience 2 жыл бұрын
I'm pretty sure you can get luggage racks for the rear of the car, but yeah I see this as a car you keep in the garage and take out for a blast at the weekend. Or even a fun commute to the office if you don't need to take stuff with you. This and similar-ish kit cars aren't really designed to be dailies / tourers / family cars, they're just fun toys. That's how I see them anyway. I own a Tiger Cat E1 and that has zero practicality - it's loud, fast and ridiculous though, just how I like my cars :)
@RickTheSpud 2 жыл бұрын
@@technicalscience Yeah you might be right. If you wanted to take stuff with you and it was just you then easy, passenger seat or footwell, and there's some space behind the seats but not much. And yeah I agree, a weekend hack, or even a daily commute would be easy, more easy than a Caterham for example, getting in and out of this is easy with the roof on, not in a Caterham, see other video! 😆 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r92gZtl02r22doE.html
