4.7m long, 1.8m wide, 1.2m height and 1250kg according to Autocar

so that makes it about the same size as a Corvette (a foot or so longer, but height and width pretty much similar), using these figures as a comparison

I guess the big question is whether Morgan or any of their customers (Eric Sturdza's name comes to mind here....) have the will and the money to develop a GT2 version and go racing. The Aero 8 at Le Mans a few years ago was a pretty low-budget effort,and the GT3 cars have fallen off the radar this season for some reason, despite winning races last year
