My apologies for being blunt but when has a 2 seat speedster concept from 1996 been relevant to the discussion of a 4 seat coupe? It feels as relevant as putting Eva GT on a photo of a Morgan Aero 8 mark 1. Typical rubbish found on the internet to encourage traffic.

I like the idea of the new Mog and if the Aeromax is anything to go on I believe it will be attractive and practical for those of us with families. Now time to start saving.

If you look at the original sketch (and of course the only real evidence we have to go on) from the press release, it clearly shows running boards / wings, and clearly shows an 'upright' headlight.



I think these are the two characteristics I expect (demand even!) to see in a Morgan. The rake of the screen and the treatment of the rear / roofline to mee are less important, but the upright grille and the sweep of the wings is what for me at least gives a car the shape that I would immediately identify as a Morgan.

Sure I expect these key traits to be subtly brought into the future, Matt Humphries is a talented stylist, so I'm sure we'll get something very handsome to look at. Both the Aeromax and the SuperSports are great to look at. I'd expect with a free hand to design this new car including the different wheelbase, and more freedom in terms of the front end of the car we will see something very special.

Just hope that we get more teasers soon!

The Morgan EvaGT ordering system is now live.

Peeps,

just losing some of my life on the interwebby and found something interesting. Given Morgans limited budget for developing cars and ability to use any and all scraps to best ability is the EvaGT simply the Lifecar MkII.

This clip from youtube shows some renderings of the car, a little tweaking of the model brings us neatly to the EvaGT in profile as shown at the top of the thread.

I like the idea of having a hard top Aero 8 for less than the price of a Maxie/SSport. £80k would be the same as a fully loaded Aero S4 plus something for development costs and profit.

The emission controls on the BMW six twin turbo with direct injection are strong enough to go for a few years. Additionally the power to weight ratio is pretty good. As MrTony points out, electronic control of a twin turbo engine leaves plenty of room for tweaking. My old Skyline GTR certainly proved that, 550bhp without a hitch and 90,000 miles.

I would however prefer a rear window, paranoia on our public roads is all to high these days.

Some try to work on the official picture

wondering how "fat" the front wings will be,
the rear are "fat" for sure,
a bit like new E-class and 993
(not in style but in "fatness")

hmmm, decent English?????

just hope there are runnning boards somehow...

don't think so,
damn curious is little me

I think the wings will be more like crease lines in the body.. with the rear tub moving out to near the full width.. and similar for the front end.

There seem to be some clues on www.mogwire.com which includes some 'other images'
