Morgan Announces
Production Begins on Areomax
Malvern, England
The Morgan Aeromax is an unique Morgan commissioned by Prince Eric I. Sturdza, President of Banque Baring Brothers Suisse.
Based on the requirement for a comfortable long distance Touring Coupe, drawings by Matthew Humphries were discussed with the customer to define the total concept. The gullwing boot openings, hardwood and traditional pleated leather interior and a large flat load area behind the seats were particular requirements.

Charles Morgan commented, "The Morgan Aeromax demonstrates the wealth of talent in our small yet dedicated motor works. It took just 4 months from a sketch to being able to test drive a real finished car. The car is a showcase of the coachbuilding and technical skills of the whole team."
The ash frame is laminated for extra strength. This gives the potential for energy absorption in the cockpit and also ensures durability and safety. It is incidentally beautiful and each of the three backbones of the skeleton of the frame has nine laminates of wood visible from the inside of the car. The wood above the dashboard and doors is carved to display age and grain.

The exhaust exits through the car wings and adds character to the V8 tone. The low unladen weight makes the Morgan Aeromax Coupe one of the fastest accelerating sports cars in Europe.
First Cars Available in January 2008
After carefully researching the viability of putting the stunning AeroMax into production, the Morgan Motor Company has decided to produce a limited run of just 100 individually numbered cars, starting in January 2008.
