Morgan EvaGT
The Morgan Motor Company is taking a bold step forward with the introduction of the Morgan EvaGT – a four-seater coupe that has drawn inspiration from the British sports saloons of the early 1950s, such as the Bristol 400 Series and the Frazer Nash BMW 328. Back then, rationing had forced designers to conserve materials and make the most out of what they had, while the pressure cooker of war had stirred up a plethora of innovative engineering ideas. To this end, lightweight aluminium was used for the bodywork and smooth straight-six cylinder engines provided comfortable and reliable long-distance driving.
Morgan is the last surviving of these British sports car manufacturers and has the proud history of a century of success – along with partnerships with BMW, Siemens, and Bosch – under its belt. Additionally, alongside these strong ties with German suppliers, the company is in touch with a selection of cutting edge British engineering companies and world-renowned university research departments.
These alliances have enabled the company to respond to the current challenge to create even more efficient vehicles than ever before, and with its fast development cycles, small size, and flexible approach to problem solving, Morgan is confident it can achieve this goal. The Morgan Four Four Sport is testament to this fact, having already earned its place as one of the greenest sports cars on the market as a result of its combination of the Ford 1.6 Sigma engine and lightweight frame.
In order to push the boundaries of efficiency even further, Morgan has put together a young team of exceptionally talented engineers – some of whom are even pursuing doctoral qualifications – and is tapping into the knowledge networks of universities such as Oxford, Cranfield, and Birmingham City to provide assistance. These engineers are dedicated to advancing the development of electric motors with twice the power of those of a similar weight and size, as well as a lithium phosphate battery with an impressive charge density for maximum efficiency.
