The ALL New Morgan Super 3 Wheeler first look

The ALL new Morgan Super 3 Wheeler first look video is an episode where Jonny Smith gets an early access tour around the historic British Sports car company's quirky creation.
Reimagining a retro car that dates back over 100 years is no easy feat. Not only that, but the Super 3 engine actually lives hidden beneath the bonnet now, meaning the front end has to rely on new styling cues for its 'face'. The engine - a water-cooled car engine as opposed to a V-twin air-cooled bike engine - livses under the bonnet - now there's a novel idea.
Joking aside, the new £41,000 Mog is more practical, faster, more powerful and more fuel efficient than ever. It also has a weird amount of storage solutions. Super 3 has been been designed to launch as an EV at some point too, which pleases us immensely (as you might imagine.)

2 enthusiasts having a proper chat about a car that’s completely illogical and utterly fantastic in equal part. Something that’s not able to be captured on paper specs. Brilliant work Johnny. 👍👍

[@Sinnistral]

I wonder how many giant, multi national car companies look on at Morgan with envy thinking "we wish we could make that"? One of the UK's most traditional brands putting out some of the most outstanding designs in all the car world - I absolutely love it!

[@TheLateBrakeShow]

I think you are spot on.

Looks like fun, glad Morgan still exists. Lamenting the lack of V-twin pedestrian airbag at the front and the toddler maiming exhausts down the sides but I hope it still finds plenty of homes.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree Paul

I miss the V-Twin and side pipes. If I could have either of these cars I'd look for one of the older V-Twin models.

[@Thedmcke3]

I love this guy. He's so excited to chat about his car like he's doing a show and tell at school. He truly loves this little car and I'm happy for him.

[@naguoning]

I seriously believe he is the most under-rated vehicle designer in the world since Livio Dante Porta (a guy who designed amazing steam trains that were mostly not built but actually could have made steam trains competitive long after they were).

[@justkidding9751]

Wow I'd be excited too if I was pushing pure street cred. It's not practical look at the roads where you live the pot holes will kill it especially the single wheel at the back. You need to get out more .

As usual, the old one looks so much better with it's vintage appearance that has loads more character.

Beautiful intelligent design and engineering. I found myself just smiling at this video and creature. Well done Morgan, well done Jonny.

[@chrisclarke5040]

Really great video. You can tell how much the Morgan chap enjoyed explaining the development rationale to someone who really appreciates and champions good design. Thank you for just letting him talk.

[@Mr12august]

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I've never watched a car video with a big grin on my face before. Morgan, I love you for developing something so fresh and fun. This is the perfect toy for car drivers who think of dabbling with bikes. I think this offers the best of both worlds. The safari version looks sooooo cool.

[@simonwhite2890]

Stunning, both the car and the way it was brought to our screens. Thanks Jonny, my envy-ometer has just peaked again.

[@phenomanII]

Oh man, going through the configurator allowed me to create a dream version of a very classic looking roadster. I love the fact that such a car is possible to manufacture and sell today. It certainly makes more sense than owning a roadster from the 30s. This way I could have a small, nimble car that is fun to drive while looking a lot like the massive and heavy pre-war roadsters.

[@justkidding9751]

Pot holes will kill it, it's not practical for shitty British roads. Really , it's just a show off street cred numptys car. I'd prefer a really good motorbike for half the money.

Excellent video yet again Johnny. Brilliant to hear the designer explain why they designed it as they did. Just brilliant. This is the best of car shows (it is a car show not a KZbin) and shows what Top Gear could and should be.

Thank you for another spot on episode, perfect way to round the day off. Along with half a packet of biscuits 😂

[@gilbertosampaio3771]

You need to be on another level to be able to appreciate the attention to detail and creative minds behind the new 3 wheeler.. Love the fact the car just has what it needs, and some of the components were designed to do more then one job at same time. The fact that you can custom one based on your taste, needs, activities, etc.. Morgan`s just pure class! Innovative company loyal to its tradicional routes..! Keep the videos coming Jonny, great work.👍

[@Strike86]

The fact that they've taken a Ford EcoBoost engine and ripped the turbocharger off gives me great vibes about this car. No lag, better noise and more satisfying to use, and 3-pots are already far more interesting than 4-pots. Plus the designer - what a spokesperson he is for the company! So enthusiastic and full of excitement about his creation. Wonderful video as per normal Jonny.

I tell you what, they are mad as a box of frogs but they are cool. I think they have done a great job on this and trying to bring it up to date as it were. It is so refreshing when the guy talks about the master craftsmen and how they build them. I really hope that it does well and we can keep this type of workmanship going, rather than the samey new vehicles the masses get. Granted might be a push for a daily driver but as a want rather than a need, it works! You keep surprising us Jonny with this content!

[@jamesw1659]

Just visited Morgan in Malvern earlier this week, and drove the Super3 with their instructor along for the ride. Spent an hour driving through the Malvern Hills. Great fun. It has this almost-magical property of being both retro and modern at the same time. The car is quite small when you stand next to it, and feels even smaller when you’re behind the wheel with standard cars all around you. As a practical matter, this is purely a toy, in the same way a Harley is a toy. But it’s a mighty fun toy, and it actually functions in all respects that it needs to take you on adventures. The Morgan family sold control of the company to an Italian VC firm, but it appears that the result is positive…now they have funds for creating exciting new products. The factory tour, the Visitor Center, everything is beautifully curated. All the tour guides are/were Morgan owners (job requirement). Stop lamenting the loss of the air cooled engine…the Ford mill is a perfect fit for this machine, while the S&S was NEVER going to be able to meet the next tier of emission regs. And it has plenty of character, while not shaking out your fillings.

[@haydenmorgan7371]

Morgan, I’m so glad you are keeping this car alive and therefore keeping my dream alive 😁.

Love it! What a fascinating inviting machine. A beautifully realized update on the original. The slab sides with the number are a bit odd however. I get the explanation, but aesthetically, it looks like an afterthought. It seems like they could've found a more sculptural approach without diminishing its function. Nonetheless, the rear boat tail look is fantastic. Very similar to the Nobe GT100 three-wheeler. It looks like Morgan got there first. ;-)

[@bicyclist2]

I'm a massive fan of Morgan. I've only seen a Morgan once. It was a red +4. If I ever have enough money I'd love to own one some day. I love the look of this new one. I'm so glad they went with a Ford engine and not something Asian like Lotus did. Thanks.

[@markmark5269]

Well that sounds a bit racist, the 1.5 Ford Dragon engine will be made predominately in China for worldwide distribution, with some in UK if more supply numbers are needed. India will produce them also but just to supply their own market. You know China is "Asian" don't you ...
