Critical for any fast car is a good set of brakes, and the Aeromax has binders a plenty. Six-pot AP Racing calipers clamp down on

348 mm vented discs up front, while twin-pot AP Racing calipers tug on 332 mm vented discs in the rear. The braking power is enhanced by electronic ABS with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD).

Connecting the car to the road are BF Goodrich 245/30 20 performance tires, covering 20-inch 3-piece split alloy rims.

Most importantly for Morgan, however, is the example of innovation and flexible manufacturing that the Aeromax sets.

On this subject company namesake Charles Morgan stated, "The Morgan Aeromax demonstrates the wealth of talent in our small yet dedicated motor works. It took just 4 months from a sketch to being able to test drive a real finished car. The car is a showcase of the coach building and technical skills of the whole team."

Morgan makes no mention of whether the Aeromax will merely be Prince Sturdza's personal ride or if it will build a production run for the automaker's many fans. This may be awaiting the response given by potential buyers attending the Geneva Auto Salon where it is being shown this week.
