Morgan will introduce a renewed version of the Plus 8 at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. The British carmaker has already alerted its customer base about the upgrade of this historic model which - according to Autoevolution - will feature new alloy wheels derived by the Aero 8, air conditioner and will offer an automatic transmission option.
No information was released about the engine, although the name Plus 8 has always been synonymous with V8 as several versions of Buick/Rover V8 engines have powered this model throughout the decades. Other Morgan’s models used a BMW aspirated V8, whereas the Morgan Roadster has recently switched to a 3.7-litres V8 by Ford, so it would not surprise us to see an American engine under the bonnet of the next Plus 8. The car will be available in 8 different colors with plenty of options for its customization.

Perhaps it’s more than just the wheels!
