Could this be what is hiding under the bonnet of the 3 Wheeler in the AutoCar picture maybe? Something that will still appeal to the air cooled V-Twin enthusiast yet is a multi cylinder power unit. It could have some Euro 5 compliance issues but has the bonus of plenty of retro chains. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2021/08/09/P1030377.jpg) Looks like you could easily lose a hand in that beast.

Referring again to the Autocar picture of the prototype, I think we can assume the new 3/3 will have a version of their CX bonded aluminium chassis with a water cooled engine. There are quite a few 3 cylinder engines around including Ford, BMW, Volvo, Chevrolet, and even one in the Caterham 160. I think Ford's 1.0 is the most likely as the BMW 1.5 is a bit much at 130 hp and over 200 in the i8 version. Hope we get some info from Morgan soon.

My thoughts are: Ford Ecoboost 1.0 Probable 3 versions, the basic 94 bhp, then 125bhp and top of the range 138 bhp - all come with different trim/upgrade options, including sound system as it will be so quiet now to drive.. (in line with Euro 6/7/8?..  ) Still bevel box/belt drive

They are changing Phil Bleazey's rubbers, or so the actress said.

A small displacement radial engine, say 5-9 cylinder, sure would be nice up front and probably very smooth power once started.
The light at the end of the tunnel is actually a train. 2019 M3W

In the Autocar pic, does anyone think that those extended side panels could be hiding cylinders of a BMW flat-twin motorcycle engine?
