So much for the motorbike engine as mentioned by a Morgan spokesperson in an earlier interview. Earlier speculation on this forum about which motorbike engine Morgan was going to use detracted from other speculation discussion regarding other expected features of the next gen 3 wheeler.
The 1.5 non-turbo Ford car engine is not sold in the US so it's not (yet) EPA certified. The question then is, will FORD UK, EPA certify the engine for Morgan (as S&S did with the the V-Twin)? Will Morgan pay for EPA certification? (higher cost and longer wait time.) Will Morgan send the Super3 to the US sans engine where the turbo version would be installed? Note: The same engine in turbo form was offered in the 2021 ECO-Sport mini SUV so EPAed, now only the 2.0l is sold in the USA. This is what I speculated a long time ago...and close enough I think  http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/707837/re-new-3-wheeler#Post707837

It gets mentioned in one of the plethora of videos I think so you'll have to trawl through them.

If you have a reference for that, please give it. I have read on here and elsewhere that it is no longer from Quaife.

Another thing - is any ash used in the Super 3? If so, is it just a token thing, as in the Plus Six/Plus Four?

And another thing... A question for anyone who has examined the cockpit of the Super 3, better still sat in it...
I am 6ft 3in tall and was quite comfortable in my 2013 M3W, provided I wore my racing shoes. But I would have preferred the pedal-box area to be a few inches wider, to provide a rest for my left foot. The Super 3 is 120mm/4.7in wider overall than the vee-twin M3W, but has enough of that been incorporated in the cockpit?

One of Morgan's investors owns an automotive transmission company with major global car companied as customers. His company are manufacturing a new bevel box with revised internal gears. The case mountings are the same as the Quaife box so it MAY be possible to retrofit the Super3 box to the M3W however I don't know if that has been confirmed.

MMC claim the Super3 is 100mm wider than the M3W. I'm 6ft and sat in all 3 of the Super3's at the launch. The cockpit is a bit wider however the transmission tunnel is a bit higher and has square sides so makes the seat feel about the same at the base of your bottom but there is a bit more hip room. The steering wheel adjusts for reach and rake and the pedals can be moved for and aft by the driver with a toggle release. With the pedals in the furthest forward position another owner who has the M3W pedals fully forward could touch but not press the Super3 pedals so there is more legroom. The 3 launch cars had 14" flat steering wheels but there are options for 13" which based on my M3W would give a bit more space for the larger driver. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/03/25/20220225_115240.jpg)
