Morgan 3 Wheeler, suitable only for nostalgic

At an event like the Geneva Motor Show can not miss the eccentricities. Models such as the Morgan 3 Wheeler does not seek to satisfy our daily need, if not more profound or banal: it all depends on the perspective from which you look. What do you think? Leave your comments, the most interesting will be published in the journal Hwy.

Alternatively, this news debate on our forums. Although the scourge of the crisis has significantly affected the automotive scene, manufacturers continue to surprise us with 'whims'. Perhaps among them are palm is Morgan. The British brand has accustomed us to the sporting past through a filter of nostalgia, and have seen the emergence of models such as the Morgan Aero SuperSports or EvaGT.

But the English manufacturer will display in the Geneva Motor Show 2011 eccentricity will arouse even greater interest in the Romantics: the Morgan 3 Wheeler century. With this model, Morgan returns to his origins back in 1909, was launched with a tube chassis car and tricycle. A configuration that continued well into the early 30's.

Of those mythical 'Three Wheelers' there is much in this 'revival' of the new century. Maintaining the tubular chassis, though reinforced to meet current safety requirements, which is mounted on a light aluminum body. She is coupled to three wheels with chrome rims and exhaust out the giant double black mat attached to its side.

Although its configuration requires some minimalism, it will not conflict with the luxury and detail: leather seats and watches inspired by aircraft of the Second World War. Additionally, you can add extras like stickers for bodywork, also inspired by the war, or tailpipes in stainless steel.

Added to swell the bill for 30,000 euros as a base price advertised without taxes. The mechanics also takes a lot of those early days: a vee-twin engine signed by S & S, which adds benefits such as gasoline direct injection or changing Mazda origin. Its power, 175 hp, is transmitted only to the rear wheel, and its benefits are estimated at 185 km / h top speed and acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.5 seconds.

Although most of us look like a pretty trifle meat display and little else, there will be more of a wealthy British that add to your collection. Do not discard him one day in London, parked outside a pub in Notting Hill.
