I liked it except for the third eye. Agree. It could be much improved with better light positions.

The M3W is nothing like that and is a "toy" much like a Caterham or a big bike, a totally different market. I think that the marketing people at Morgan will have a hard time selling the new M3W without the visual impact of a big V-Twin hanging out at the front .....
On the other hand .... perhaps the big V Twin appeals to the more "traditional" customer. Most people now wouldn't know what an engine of any type even looked like. These people buy teslas, not m3w

For me I liked it except for the third eye. 1927 GP Talbot at the Brooklands Museum. Inspiration for the EV3 front end design and the, err, 'unusual' 3rd lamp? ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/07/30/1927-Talbot-GP.jpg)

So do many Morgan customers  Personally I like the traditional look with a big V Twin up front, but I also like the prototype and the new Ace and I think they may have a broader appeal to new customers

Just putting it out there -------.
So what happens when all the folk that buy full electric vehicles (what ever they may be) realise the charging infrastructure (in the UK at least) is dire and their "zero neutral" purchase isn't really, (due to mining, manufacturing, and disposal of batteries)
Not against the electric revolution ( but if i was going to convert it would be Hybrid---at the moment) but are we being "egged" down the same path as the "diesel revolution" a few years ago ?

Roll on the hydrogen fuel cell See http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/701336/ for that discussion I personally think EVs are mainstream but Morgan’s and especially M3Ws are not. But I would not be surprised if Morgan were using a BMW 1.5 with an option of i3 power train in the next M3W. You can’t stop progress…

A very interesting feature on hydrogen v electric based on real world data and experiences. Well worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19Q7nAYjAJY

What an interesting article and as as usual heavy industry leading the way.
As Lord Bamford mentions, "we cannot retire the diesel engine without a robust zero carbon alternative"
