Morgan The Motor Company has showcased its upcoming three-wheeler once again. The first thing to know about it is that we still don’t know its name. It looks like the 3 Wheeler label won’t be coming back, and Morgan calls the vehicle internally codenamed P101 a “tricycle” on its website. Doubts poured into the name Super3 thanks to a Brand application. The new name will be applied to what Morgan says is the company’s first all-new vehicle since the Plus 8 from 2000, a redesigned three-wheeler from the ground up. We have seen design concept sketches; The final model is supposed to draw inspiration both from the early jet era and from the owners of the previous three.
The final version weighed around 1,200 pounds, all of which was fitted, and the engineers kept that goal in mind for this version as well. The chassis uses aluminum structure Morgan moves to 2020, which should help offset the massive changes to the powertrain and a more spacious cockpit. The 3 new versions switch from the motorcycle-based 1.97-liter S&S V-twin engine that makes 80 horsepower and 103 pound-feet of torque. The replacement was a naturally aspirated, vertically mounted 1.5 liter three-cylinder engine, mounted from Ford, guessing it would make between 80 and 130 hp without the turbo. Perhaps the four-wheel drive source convinced Morgan to hide the three cylinders under the car instead of leaving it exposed between the front wheels. The spy shot shows that the exhaust has also been tucked into the bodywork, instead of forming a shiny chrome cutout through the driver’s door. Power will be transmitted through a five-speed gearbox to the clutch and then a toothed belt that turns the rear wheel.
Morgan probably wants all of that grumbling to bring its personalization options with it. The automaker says this will be its most versatile three-wheeler yet, the teaser image shows three configurations known as “personalities”. The left variant is equipped with an additional pair of front fog lights, the right variant is equipped with a different front shield than the other two variants. Morgan promises a wide range of accessories to help owners do “extraordinary things” with their cars, from windshields to luggage racks, cameras and lights, which are locked onto mounting brackets. design factory. The in-house design team has come up with new graphic packages that are “bold, individual and eccentric”, which will even incorporate “diffuser panels” along the body to help guide hot air away from the twin radiators and supports pannier mounting points.
The outgoing model is the company’s best-selling model, with 2,500 units sold during 10 years of production. Morgan’s hopes are higher in terms of sales and global appeal for the new product. The reveal happened on February 24, with the automatic cycle expected to hit the retail market later this year.
