Morgan Aero8 Wins Full European Type Approval

Morgan Motor Company (MMC) has secured European Whole Vehicle Type approval for its new Aero8 supercar - making Morgan the first independent specialist manufacturer in the UK to secure full approval for its complete range.

To achieve the high standards required, the Aero8 was subjected to 47 rigorous individual tests covering key areas including active and passive safety features, environmental issues, and driveability. Testing was conducted by the Vehicle Certification Agency, the independent organisation that advises UK and EU governments on approvals.

Commenting, Charles Morgan, Managing Director, said:
"This approval is extremely important for both Morgan Motor Company and its customers, who can now legally register new Aero8s anywhere in the EU. To be the first to achieve full approval is a real credit to the hard work and dedication of our development and manufacturing teams, and I would also like to extend our thanks to the VCA, which was very helpful during the approval process."

The first completely new Morgan car for 60 years, the revolutionary Aero8 features an advanced bonded aluminium chassis and a specially-developed BMW V8 engine, and has established a reputation for stunning handling and performance. Top speed is in excess of 160mph, and 0-62mph is achieved in under 5 seconds.

Over 600 orders from all over Europe have been placed for the new Morgan, which had its prototype debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
