Morgan AeroMax

Specs that decide the buy: 4.8 MT

Those labels are the whole mechanical identity of the model in this file. If you wanted Automatic, AWD, a smaller displacement, or a boosted engine, this catalogue does not list them for AeroMax.

4.8 MT is Gasoline, 8 cylinders, V-shaped, 4 valves per cylinder, boost No, Front, longitudinal, Distributed injection (multi-point). Displacement is 4799 cc. Output is 368 hp (271 kW) at 6300 rpm and 502 Nm at 3400 rpm. Compression ratio is 10. Bore and stroke are 92 × 82.7. Fuel is 98. Gearbox is Manual, 6 speeds. Drive is RWD.

Those labels are the whole mechanical identity of the model in this file. If you wanted Automatic, AWD, a smaller displacement, or a boosted engine, this catalogue does not list them for AeroMax.

Engine math: what 368 hp and 502 Nm actually buy

Power per litre for 4.8 MT: 368 / 4.799 ≈ 76.7 hp per litre. That is naturally aspirated Gasoline (boost No) at 4799 cc, so the extra displacement is the whole power story — there is no turbo or supercharger line to compare.

Torque per litre: 502 / 4.799 ≈ 104.6 Nm per litre, peaking at 3400 rpm, well below the 6300 rpm power peak. The gap between those two engine speeds is the character of this one version: peak pull arrives earlier than peak horsepower.

Power-to-torque ratio: 368 hp against 502 Nm. You are not choosing between a high-rev peaky tune and a low-rev torque tune; both figures sit on the same 4.8 MT row.

Valves: 8 × 4 = 32 valves. Cylinder layout is V-shaped, not a second layout option.

Weight per horsepower and why 1250 kg matters

Kerb weight for 4.8 MT is 1250 kg. Gross weight is not measured.

Kilograms per horsepower: 1250 / 368 ≈ 3.40 kg/hp. Horsepower per tonne: 368 / 1.250 = 294.4 hp per tonne.

That is the only power-to-weight figure in the file. There is no heavier “comfort” version and no lighter “stripped” version to subtract. If kerb weight had been, for example, 250 kg higher at the same 368 hp, you would be looking at about 4.08 kg/hp instead of 3.40 — a 20% worse ratio — but that heavier car is not listed.

Ground clearance is 150 mm. Wheel sizes are not measured. Independent, spring suspension is listed front and rear. Brakes are Ventilated disc front and Disc ventilated rear (the rear label is the catalogue string). None of those fields change across versions, because there is only 4.8 MT.

Performance vs mpg: the 4.8 MT trade-off

4.8 MT 0–100 is 4.2 s. Top speed is 257 km/h.

Fuel use: city 16.3, highway 7.9, mixed 10.9 (catalogue units as given). Tank is 70. CO2 is not measured. Eco class is not measured.

Highway versus city: 16.3 / 7.9 ≈ 2.06 — city use is a little more than double highway. Mixed 10.9 sits (16.3 − 10.9) = 5.4 below city and (10.9 − 7.9) = 3.0 above highway.

Range at mixed 10.9 with a 70 tank: 70 / 10.9 ≈ 6.42 tankfuls per 70 units of fuel, or about 6.4 mixed “distance units” per litre-equivalent of tank volume if you treat the consumption figures as litres per 100 km — 70 / 10.9 × 100 ≈ 642. Highway: 70 / 7.9 × 100 ≈ 886. City: 70 / 16.3 × 100 ≈ 429. Those three ranges are the economy choice inside the only version: same 4.8 MT, different duty cycle.

There is no smaller engine in the data that would cut 16.3 city use, and no Automatic row that might change 4.2 s. The performance–economy bargain is entirely inside 4.8 MT.

Dimensions and weight: what is measured, what is not

If you need a published gross weight or a wheel size to compare load or tyre options, this file does not provide them. Clearance 150 mm is the only ground-clearance number; there is no raised or lowered variant.

Generations: what changed (and what did not)

Generation 1 runs 2008-01-01 to 2010-12-31, body Coupe, 1 version. Production span is three calendar years. There is no generation 2 in the data, so nothing “changed” between generations: no extra doors, no new gearbox count, no shift from RWD.

Inside generation 1 there is also no restyle split. Years, body, and the 4.8 MT spec share the same start and stop dates. You are not choosing early versus late facelift hardware.

Which version to choose

Buy 4.8 MT if you want the only AeroMax this catalogue describes: 368 hp, 502 Nm, 4799 cc Gasoline 8 V-shaped, boost No, Manual 6, RWD, 4.2 s to 100, 257 km/h, kerb 1250 kg (≈ 3.40 kg/hp), mixed use 10.9, tank 70, clearance 150 mm, Coupe, 2008–2010.

Do not expect a second pick. There is no 4.8 AT, no lower-power 4.8 MT, and no other generation. Differences between versions cannot be tabulated because `modifikaciy` is 1. Arithmetic on this row is the whole comparison: 76.7 hp/L, 294 hp/t, city fuel a bit over 2× highway, mixed range on 70 far longer than city range.

What extra money cannot buy here. The file has no prices. It also has no second spec that would show what a costlier gearbox or a later generation added. Any “extra money” argument would be invention.

Reliability / problems. Not measured in this dataset. Do not treat silence as a clean bill of health or as a known fault list.

For a buyer working only from these figures, the decision is binary: 4.8 MT matches the numbers above, or this model is the wrong catalogue page.
