First, it brought the [Super 3](), Morgan's hilarious three-wheeled, open-top roadster, to our shores. Now, according to [*Hagerty*](), the 2025 [Morgan]() Plus Four is on its way, but it will only be sold in limited numbers. Since the Morgan Plus Four doesn't meet all of the U.S. safety requirements for new cars, it has to be sold under a replica car exemption clause that's built into the FAST (Fixing America's Surface Transportation) Act. The [replica car clause]() allows certain cars to be exempt from most federal regulations as long as they're “intended to resemble the body of another motor vehicle that was manufactured not less than 25 years before the manufacture of the replica vehicle.” Since Morgan hasn't really changed its design language in *106* years, the Plus Four counts as a replica car, despite being all new under the skin. ![]() **Morgan Motor Company** However, sale via the replica car clause means that Morgan is limited to delivering just 325 cars per year. So customers will likely have to fight to get allocations, and it isn't going to be cheap. *Hagerty* claims that Morgan has hundreds of customers who have already agreed to pay around $74,500 for the Plus Four. *The Drive* has reached out to Morgan to confirm this information and will update this story with whatever we learn. For that money, customers get a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbocharged BMW engine, good for 255 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. It's the same engine you'll find in a [BMW 230i](), just wrapped in far better-looking metal (and wood). In the U.K., the Plus Four can be had with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission, but it's unclear if American buyers will have the same choice. Also unclear is whether American cars will be available with the new optional Dynamic Handling pack that comes with adjustable Nitron suspension and a rear anti-roll bar. ![]() **Morgan Motor Company** It's cool to know that Morgan is bringing more of its products here to the States, as they're such unique, interesting cars in this modern homogenized market. Making the Plus Four available will also give the brand's American fans the option of actually driving something with four wheels. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
