THE SAME OLD design-battle goes on this season – wilder than ever. With the newly launched GT-N version of the Aero 8, British Morgan really wants to battle the big boys.
Aero 8 GT-N with brakes bigger than the wheels on a normal streetcar and a rear wing as big as the wings on a DC10 aeroplane is looking dramatic and inspiring. But the very British sports car will really meet competition – the car is going to compete in the same FIA GT-N class as the Porsche 911 GT3 and the just launched Ferrari 360 GTN.
