2011 Morgan EvaGT

Description

Morgan has put out some new teaser sketches and renderings of its upcoming EvaGT sports coupe. According to the company, the BMW-powered model is aimed at "young families" offering space for four passengers, although the two rear seats will most likely be suitable only for children. The design of the new model with the Bugatti-like horseshoe-grille is said to have been inspired by classic sports saloons of the early 1950s such as the Bristol 400 series and the Frazer Nash BMW 328. Underneath the aluminum body, the EvaGT makes use of a modified version of the Aero SuperSports mode'sl bonded aluminium chassis, which is compliant with both European and US safety regulations. The car is said to tip the scales at around 1250kg or 2755 pounds. Powering the rear-wheel drive EvaGT is BMW's acclaimed 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six delivering 306-horsepower and 400Nm / 295 lb-ft of torque, coupled to either a 6-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual gearbox. Morgan says the EvaGT should be capable of accelerating from standstill to 60mph (96km/h) in 4.5 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 170mph or 273km/h, while returning an impressive -for its class- average fuel consumption of 40mpg UK, equal to 7.0lt/100km and 33.3mpg US, with CO2 emissions of 200g/km. Although Morgan has not yet released final prices for the EvaGT, the company said the "on-road" price will be competitive for a car of this class. Those interested in the car will be asked for a deposit of £5000 <b>...</b>
