Wiesmann Roadster vs. Morgan Aero 8

[Danny]

Two old-school Roadsters here.

Wiesman Roadster MF 3

Morgan Aero 8

I prefer the Morgan. I think it looks nice, and it's pretty fast too!

What do you guys think?

I picked the Morgan--it sounds wonderful, looks like nothing else, and goes like h*ll. But then again, I don't know anything about the other car.

I think it's interesting that the Morgan suspension was tuned without the use of sway bars.

the priettiest thing on the wiesman is the tires grooves.

Definitely Morgan. Perfect combination of style, speed, and pedigree.

And, honestly, if you wanted traditionally styled British roadsters to compare to the Aero 8, consider the following.

It may not have the pizzaz of the dearly departed Mantis/Mantula/Mantara family, but it's an attractive car that definitely carries on the best trademarks of the Marcos family.

I prefer the Morgan Aero 8.

I like the Morgan. That Marcos TOS looks like a TVR.

I read about the Wiesmann in Evo magazine. It is supposed to be really good.

But I'd still take the morgan, its pwettier

I don't like the tail of the Morgan, so I chose MF3.

 

[Emohawk]

I'd go for the Morgan. I've never heard of Wiesmann before, it looks like a half assed attempt to use some old design cues in a car based on a new body. Those are nice tires though.

I like the Morgan. That Marcos TOS looks like a TVR.

While I don't consider 'looks like a TVR' to be a good thing, 'performs like a TVR' is definatly a compliment. And looking at the specs of that thing, it does.

Morgan 👍 Gotta love those looks and BMW V8.

Wiesman look like a bit of a kit car

I like the Morgan........... I voted for the MF 3 by mistake though.

I'd take a morgan. I think it looks really good and it helps that it goes like stink.
