Geneva Motor Show is one of the grandest and biggest automobile shows on Earth. Manufacturers from all over the world present their models and concept cars. Alongside regular manufacturers there are a few hand crafted, limited number models as well.

Morgan is one such brand and they have introduced their Aero 8 model. This new model will take the place of Aero coupe and their Aero supersport models. The British manufacturer confirms that this truly is their ultimate model in its Aero range.
