About the Plus 8 3.5 Mk II

The 1971 Morgan Plus 8 3.5 Mk II is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 823 kg with 190 bhp, which works out at 231 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 231 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.34 s. Against the 2,929 cars in the set it is the 1,994th quickest to 60 mph, and the 5th quickest of the 5 Morgans here. Its 97.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Morgan Plus 8 3.5 Mk II is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
