"Morgan Aero 8 The Morgan Aero 8 is a sports car built by Morgan Motor Company at its factory in Malvern Link, England (an area of Malvern in Worcestershire) and designed by the firm's designer Matthew Humphries. The Aero 8 is notable for several reasons, primarily because it is the first new Morgan design since 1964's +4+. It does not use anti-roll bars, an oddity in a modern sporting car. It is also the first Morgan vehicle with an aluminium chassis and frame as opposed to traditional Morgan vehicles (""trads"") that have an aluminium skinned wooden body tub on a"

"Flat-eight engine A Flat-Eight or Horizontally-Opposed Eight (H8) is an internal combustion engine in flat configuration, having 8 cylinders. A well-known engine of this type is the Porsche air-cooled flat-8 engine. It was introduced as a 1.5-litre engine for Formula One, and grew to a 3-litre version used in the Porsche 908. Continental and Lycoming have both produced flat-8 aircraft engines. The Lycoming IO-720 and Continental IO-720 series of engines have been in production for several decades. A flat-8 is marginally smoother than a flat-6, but since both types are exceptionally smooth, it is normally simpler and cheaper to specify"

"successors of the W8. The model designations stood for Avtech Wiegert Experimental, 3rd generation, with the R suffix meaning the roadster version. Series production of the AWX-3 never began, production of the W8 ended in 1993 after a hostile takeover by the primary shareholder, Megatech. Wiegert sued Megatech and won back the design copyrights, equipment, and remaining unsold cars. In 1995, Megatech began production of the M12 which was based on the Lamborghini Diablo and was loosely based on the design of the AWX-3.

"Vector SRV8 The Vector SRV8 was an American supercar designed and built by Vector Motors in 1999 to replace the Vector M12. Vector Motors, seeing the slow sales of the expensive M12, decided to design a new car that would be easier and cheaper to build and sell. The outcome was the SRV8, essentially a modified M12. The chassis came from one of the racing M12's which ran at Road Atlanta in 1998 and featured small changes such as moved suspension pickup points. The biggest difference though was the engine. Vector decided to ditch the Lamborghini V12 that the M12"

Basically a licensed-built version of the JT8D, heavily modified for supersonic speeds, with a Swedish-designed afterburner, the RM8 was produced by Svenska Flygmotor (later known as Volvo Aero). Since the original engine was constructed for subsonic speeds, most part of the engine had to be redimensioned for the higher Mach-speeds in a military aircraft. Fans"
