Morgan Eva GT

[mountaindewd]

Came across this the other day. This car is stunning! I think the 14 spoke wheels are more fitting with the design.

Pretty cool! Looks alot like a Bugatti in the front...

[Sixties Sam]

Nice! I like the two-tone color version.

$108,804.50 as of just now according to the currency converter at 70,000 Pound Sterling.

And as far as I'm concerned, a better buy than a lot of the houses in that price range around here.

Stunning car. Who sells Morgans in the U.S. now? That looks like the most fun 40 miles a gallon I could have.

That is a stunning looking car

Are they keeping the wood frames and body structuer under those?

[Jon Cole]

Dang, that is nice! They have been an interesting car company... even a current LeMans competitor IIRC. What I don't recall is if Morgan, during much of the "post war" years, was still using wood in their framework?

I read a write up about Morgan having to fell a few trees to repair Richard Hammonds recently wrecked Morgan Aeromax.

Update:

"The Eva GT looks stunning. And it’s modern, with its bonded aluminium chassis and superformed aluminium body panels making this a complete 21st century Morgan."

A non-wood frame?!! Morgan has finally come into the 21st Century!!

Side view and rear 3/4 view... pretty good.

Front end... eeeeyoooowww! Major league ugly! That grille is totally out of place.

[Danno]

I see they've scrapped its original name in favor of Eva GT. It was originally called the Morgan Aardvark RT , a more appropriate although less marketable moniker.

[Harry P.]

With that honkin' grille they could call it the Morgan Schnozolla...

[Jim Gibbons]

Side view and rear 3/4 view... pretty good.

Front end... eeeeyoooowww! Major league ugly! That grille is totally out of place.

You have to admit it's a heck of a lot better than the cross-eyed look of the Aero!

This one and the Aero... two kinds of ugly.

[Zoom Zoom]

This one and the Aero... two kinds of ugly.

Yup. The new one looks about 75% okay...but the remaining 25% just doesn't cut it...still looks like a 3rd world kit car.

[Cato]

A Veyron-esque attempt at chic. Almost an Aston/Veyron DNA.

Front end... eeeeyoooowww! Major league ugly! That grille is totally out of place.

It's been said before, but allow me to say it again...At least it isn't cross-eyed like the Aero 8!

One other thing... is it named after Eva Braun?

No, Eva Gabor.
