I just saw this while looking through a photo gallery from the 2001 Geneva Auto Show going on right now. I've seen this car before, but I've found it once again, and it strikes me that, can you imagine how many pimps would want this car? I mean, seriously, look at it. Get some more classical rims on that thing and it's perfect.

Ah yes, the Morgan Aero 8. There was a little writeup on it in February's issue of Maxim. It went a little something like this:

Sticker: $78 756
0-60: under 5 seconds
Top speed: 160 mph
Engine: 286 hp, 4,4-litre V-8

Morgan's been building its Plus-4 and Plus-8 touring cars from a design basically unchanged since 1936. Over those famous years the company has become as famous for its quality as it has for its years-long waiting list. But there's finally a new Morgan: the Aero 8. Luxuries include a Connolly leather interior and a glove compartment that's also a removable leather briefcase large enough to hold a laptop. Although it's the most affordable car on this list, it's also damn exclusive: With a waiting list already two years long and the company planning on cobbling only four to six cars a week, you might have to make a few bribes to get your hands on one.

Although it has classic Morgan curves and a wooden frame, te Aero 8 is all about innovation - aluminum intensive body, advanced suspension, and a design so aerodynamic that the drag is similar with the top up or down.

Oh Fabrux, you closet-spammer!

I'd rather take that lucious Chrysler Kronos concept, it was like Aston Martin/Volvo P1800 on steroids!!
