Morgan have revealed a one off sports car which is their most stunning luxury sports car to date. Called the SP1 this awesome machine was created to show off the British car makers craftsmanship.
The SP1, which stands for Special project 1, shares a few design elements from the 2009 LifeCar Concept and is powered by the same 3.7 liter V6 Ford engine that is used in the Morgan V6 Roadster. It produces 280bhp and can accelerate from 0 – 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds. Despite being quick off the mark it’s too speed is only around 140 mph.
The Morgan SP1 features a wooden frame body constructed from Ash Wood and African Bubinga Red Hardwood. The interior features natural aniline leather and wooden seats. It also has an infotainment system that is controlled via an iPad.
One cool feature about this luxury sports car is the starting sequence, it is like starting a plane. Once the car has been electronically armed, a sequence of roof mounted toggle switches are flicked to ‘prepare for flight’ before a final toggle switch starts the engine. A few other car manufacturers should take some hints from this!!
