Morgan has unveiled the Tremendous 3 – the successor to the long-lasting Three Wheeler and the continuation of a 113-year legacy.
The all-new mannequin is constructed on an aluminum platform made out of three components, and it’s the first Morgan with a monocoque construction.
The Tremendous 3 ditches the motorcycle-derived V-twin engine of its predecessor favour of a front-mounted three-cylinder 1.5-litre Ford engine – a usually aspirated 118bhp model of the unit that powers the Ford Fiesta ST.
As soon as once more, a five-speed handbook gearbox from the Mazda MX-5 is used, driving the one rear wheel.
Out there to order now, Tremendous 3 is priced from £41,995 within the UK, with buyer deliveries beginning in June 2022
Like each Morgan, will probably be in-built Malvern, Worcestershire, on the firm’s Pickersleigh Highway manufacturing facility. Expert craftsmen and girls have been handcrafting automobiles in these hallowed crimson brick buildings since 1914, simply 5 years after HFS Morgan invented the primary Morgan, often called ‘The Runabout’.
“Morgan 3 Wheeler homeowners are particular person, relish doing issues in their very own manner, and actively search journey,” mentioned Jonathan Wells, Head of Design, Morgan Motor Firm. “With Tremendous 3, we aimed to magnify these qualities by means of design.
“Tremendous 3 stands out as one thing totally different. It seems to be in the direction of our previous, is related within the current, and reinstates a agency imaginative and prescient of Morgan’s design future.
“Life isn’t extra difficult after a drive in a Tremendous 3.”
