Close enought for me, with so many new pollution and safety rules it was obvious that (sadly) the air cooling had to go. But the fact that a new three-wheeler exists its enought on itself. I would like analog dials tho.

No. Looks wise it was all about the V twin and the styling. This is a modern car with three wheels, where the old one tried to recreate what came before with modern parts but authentic design, for the most part. With the new design they may as well go full modern and stick a fourth wheel on it.

Have to admit, the engine being on the outside and the vee-twin was one of my favourite things, so I'm not totally sold yet. Not sure if it looks differnt enough for that amount of change.

Do I like it as much as the old one ? No . But , this means we get a morgan three wheeler in 2022 , so I'm grateful

I was a huge fan of the previous 3 Wheeler and a lot of that was due to the unique powerplant and sound, with the vintage interior being another big reason. This new one I think looks better on the outside, but it sacrifices far too much of the charm of the old one.

same.... still want one unfortunately

Love it. Looks great, and in my eyes, better than the old one (which oozes charm, but has some obvious compromises...). Did the awesome configurator and found several combos that were too cool! I don't think it'll be a stretch to assume it will be a much better drive than the old one, and will be more useful more of the time - and nothing wrong with that! Nicely done, Morgan!

I love it. Think it looks amazing.

I would like to see analog gauges, the lever switches are great. The V2 engine is an aesthetic I miss along with the external exhaust, however that said, just glad the idea still exists. Would I have one? Yes indeed.

That is a beautiful vehicle. Morgan really did a nice job integrating that new engine into the vehicle but retaining the original look of the Morgan 3 wheeler. Without a doubt one of the nicest Morgan "3"'s ever created. A worthy successor to a long history of 3 wheelers for Morgan. This would be the perfect vehicle for those weekend getaways. The fact they have integrated those hangers on the "side blades" (which look spectacular by the way) and the ability to hang both duffle bags and hard cases onto the side really add to the usability and practicality of the vehicle. And the rear rack you can put onto it also adds much needed space for carrying your needed items. This makes a perfect "open top" car for those who don't want a motorcycle but want to enjoy the roads in a similar manner as motorcycle riders. Much more stable than a motorcycle and the passengers sit in nice comfortable seats side by side rather than front and back like a motorcycle. NICE JOB MORGAN!

I loved the Morgan at first sight. I love this one too.

I wasn't sold on the look of the side pods until I saw that they could be used for modular storage. It looks better with luggage on the side than without!

I have a 2017 M3W and I wouldn't swap it for anything. Having said that, this new model is completely brilliant. It takes three wheeling into the core of the 21st century. The last model caught the attention of the public. It is SO 1919/1930's. The new car is invoking another era, almost Art deco meets the fifties. In my Morgan I am Biggles. In the new one I would be Dan Dare. This latest offering will build on the buzz of the M3W and get a whole new generation of people into three wheeling. Any one who has driven ANY three wheeler will tell you that it is a unique and awesome way to travel. i use mine most days. It makes me laugh out load and grin like an idiot. More folks need to experience this. Cars are boring and bikes are dangerous. Hearing the designer of this amazing car explain how they had used legislation compliance to their advantage in designing the super 3 gave me great hope for Morgan's future in the years to come. ... I want one.

I think it will be tough for the new one because the previous one was so iconic, I love the rough and ready design the new car is moving towards

This is the reason that I jumped on getting one of the last V-Twin powered 3 wheelers in 2021 and I am so glad that I did. I was pretty sure that if Morgan even produced the next model that it would loose much of the character, charm and attraction that the engine presence provides. A digital dash and a GPS display...really...why? I'm thinking perhaps would have been best to focus on incorporating a driveshaft final drive and adjustable seating. I don't see the attraction or excitement for the unattractive luggage options and mounting systems either. Who uses their 3 wheeler for long trips anyway, at least here in the United States? I considered purchasing a Vanderhall in 2021. I don't feel the new Morgan betters the Vanderhall anymore. I do give Morgan credit for continuing to produce the 3 wheeler though. I like seeing a variety of unique and fun vehicles available.

Was a lovely thing now it's just a shadow of what it was. Always wanted one and am so glad new models are out maybe used ones will go for less.

That SS motor was so pretty compared to the Ford 3 pot.

beautiful and more safe... missing a hood and then is perfect.

Is it possible to change wheels covers?

love it like the engine in side and the looks. but how dose it handle. Looking for something to replace motorcycles with as now 74, and a little more wind and rain protection would be nice, did not like the cases on the side at first but after a bit starting to like them a lot. nice to have some storage, Are they going to be bringing these to Canada. East coast, ( PEI would be great.) we have the toads that would suit these cars. Would be great in English racing green.

The grill and the engine should be painted either satin or matte black. Grey stands out too much and makes the front of the car look too busy compared to the rest of it, especially with all that cast aluminum on the front.

Love the new design . The next chapter in the Morgan future. I also love their new plus 4 and plus 6.

can't wait to drop a V-twin in the new body

I'd love then to do it with a ducati V4 engine in it!

Awesome

Do you drive it or wear it?

It looks sort of OK until the picture of the V twin appears. Then I want THAT one tells me that for me its a nice try but doesnt lift my heart as the original does.Glad theres still a 3 wheeler though, and one day this too may be a reminder of fond days past.

Awsome cool 😎 👌

Might as well buy a Polaris at this point I'm not against making it more modern but every part that made the old 3 wheeler cool and unique is gone. It's not going to out perform other 3 wheelers and the crazy unique parts are gone so there's not much point to in it to me. I'd rather have a Vanderhall.

Do you think this will be the final 3 wheeler given the UKs upcoming ban on petrol engine car sales?

Perhaps because the ford 3 pot is dime a dozen. I'm glad to see it applied in such a manner.

I want one, absolutely love it!

The only disadvantage I see is the use of a inline-3 instead of an inline-4. I say this because three pots become a maintenance nightmare due to their inherent unequal ignition, which causes vibration and thus premature bearing wear. So, if it had an option for a four-pot like the Miata, then I too would have zero reasons not to consider it over others.

It's nice because It's remember a Naboo fighter from Star Wars Ep 1 but at the same time It's a very niche car....more that the 7 from Caterham ,does It has so much market?

Wonder where the 4th wheel is

Archimoto, Aptera motors, now Morgan. February 24th has been a bonanza for 3 wheeler news, and yet ...

90 years on and Morgan are still trying to catch up with BSA on 3-wheelers 🤣

Rims looks amazing.

Perhaps I’m missing something but I just can’t understand why anyone would want a three wheeler, their not cheap either.

Gorgeous! As you say right at the close, can't wait for the drive! Well done to Morgan for managing to carry out the updates required by ever tightening legislation without losing the spirit of the iconic car. No mean feat.

its cool but the whole point of having one thta it was easy too work on and the engine was hanging out the front sadly doesnt look as cool as the og one

wait...you didnt even drive one? I like the old vtwin better!

Richard Hammond has driven in a Three-Wheeler Morgan.

I like most everything about it. However using superformed aluminum for the chassis seems needlessly expensive. That process is great for getting the complex shapes desired for the body, but it comes at a price. The Morgan Aero8 chassis is is made up primarily of flat sheets of aluminum with straight bends, which is much less expensive to fabricate. As a tall person, I am concerned that bringing the engine behind the front axle has probably reduced the leg room even more than its predecessor. All said, I am very happy they are moving into the future with a 3 wheeler that is petrol powered.

@dav1dsm1th

@ 5:31 It clearly states that the chassis is not "superformed" aluminium.

A refreshing update of the Morgan three-wheeler that was actually long overdue. Given all the charm and nostalgia of the V-Twin three-wheeler, this reimagination of the icon makes so much sense for a driveable, enjoyable and practical alternative to four-wheeled sports cars and two-wheeled or three-wheeled motorcycles. The proof of this design will come in the driving, but even with the extra weight, double the horsepower of the historic icon makes this version a strong contender for iconic status.

yes because my first thought driving a three wheeled car from the 30s is practicality. I like it, but it doesn't have storage space for my surfboard, picnic table, and family. I think I should look for a minivan.

Any car fanatic must at least try one...it looks fantastic

So they made the Morgan 3, a accessory car? Think I like the old one better.

I think some of your figures are a bit out if the S&S wedge head only made 67bhp and weighed 587 compared to 120 and 635 it would be very hard to believe that they would do the same time to 60mph. The v twin makes 82 and weighs 525 now it starts to be a bit more believable that they could do the same time and Morgan back in the thirties had made three wheelers with four cylinder water cooled engines they weren't all v twins.

It looks terrible. If I had a metal workshop I now would be busy developing an aftermarket grille for this car.

Nope. The V-Twin engine is integral to the history and character of the vehicle. They could have used any number of water cooled v-twin engines with similar power and emissions. The styling is OK but the engine is a big let down. 👎

Is Morgan trying to give their customers back problems with those asymmetrical seat backs?

My wife's going to hate my next purchase.

Why did they not follow the lines of the morgan electric? The front looks like an unfinished amateur project. For what are the funny side panels after the wheels. Ugly? no, unfinished.

I agree with wwodb and PA Squared. Alas, not to come to the States.......

Nope...back to the drawing board.

Forget the torque and bhp figures, it's the delivery of the torque that's important. Why are four-stroke singles much preferred to two-strokes for mud-plugging? It's called low-down torque, the sort you need in a traffic-light GP. And let's not forget the delightful exhaust boom of a V-twin. So you can stick your Ford 3-cylinder water-cooled motor where the sun don't shine...which is what the new Morgan has done too, hidden it away from where it's assembly line looks might put people off. And not a louvre in sight... PS. Can you tell I don't like this excuse for a price-hike?

As a former 2013 Morgan Three Wheeler owner for 6 years and 10,000 miles I miss the retro look of the old model. However if this new model’s engine is better designed than the extremely unreliable & failure prone S&S X-Wedge engine (the sole reason I sold mine) I would take another look….

I'm certain it wlil sell well, but not for me. Expose the loverly S&S (Harley-Davidson style) V-Twin!

meh… i’d much rather the last one.

Really cool to divert from jelly-bean cars. In many countries anything with less than four wheels is considered a cycle. Taxes and insurances are vastly reduced. In answer to Goodwood , ANY Morgan is iconic. It's the smiles per hour that count.

I like the old one. Talk about character. This thing's ghastly.

Aesthetics, are completely subjective. Assuming he likes the look, the car guy will want to look under the "bonnet", at the very least. Of course, the rich don't expect to have to look at whatever lurks there, and as this thing probably costs you the teeth right out of your head, no doubt that's the intended market.... a working stiff hasn't the jingle to buy toys like this.

If have add roof look better

All old ones just doubled in price

Having owned two traditional Morgans in the past, I have to say this new three wheeler does nothing for me, it's bland, and very expensive for what you actually get, at least the old one had the iconic V twin engine. Having said that, I'm sure they will sell every one they can make. We should all be glad than firms like Morgan still exist.

the brushed aluminum doesn't look great imo

Morgan messed up this like Land Rover did with the new Defender. No thanks.

"better fuel economy means cars like this can still exist" no, it means people who hate cars and the people who like them are working on making cars like this no longer exist

I think morgan seriously lost the point of their own vehicle. Not to be a 3-wheeled retro-styled modern car, it's supposed to be an old looking old car sold today. That's what made it special. Now it's just another 3 wheeler.

No view of the engine. ????

No thanks! I just bought an 'original' S&S M3W Brooklands Ltd. Ed. of 2014.... Brmmmmmm!

Its pronounced "element 13" ium.

Reminds me of the time I was admiring an LCC Rocket at a motor show. The guy on the stand invited me to sit in it, I declined, explaining that whilst I might be able to get in it, I would not be able to get out of it whilst maintaining my sense of dignity.

I've always loved this model but this latest three-wheeler hasn't. It has lost all the charm it had with the engine positioned in sight between the front wheels. Such a pity. I wanted to buy it but I'm really disappointed. The digital gear then ... please, it should be a thoroughbred Morgan not an anime manga. Really bad in my opinion. I will evaluate the purchase of another model of the House Morgan and I will look for a used one of this model with the engine in sight. I wrote this message with Google Translator, I apologize for any errors.

I’d rather a Pembleton.

The design flaw is it looks too much like a boat the side of the car can be practical it lacks appeal because its boatlike in shape ?

Vanderhall imo beats it, starting at 194 hp, I believe it’s slightly lighter, I maybe wrong… but the Morgan looks better 🤔 😉

My honest opinion. It's hideous. So this is what happens when you are forced to conform to the whims and screechings of the idiocrats. I see a three wheeler with a V-twin and my breath speeds up, my heart races. I see this Russian dressing painted imitation and feel disgusted.
