Morgan to introduce a new four seater coupe, the EvaGT

Morgan will reveal soon the EvaGT, a new four seater coupe. The first public view of the Morgan EvaGT will be at the 60th Pebble Beach Concours d�Elegance on the 15th August 2010. Below you can read the press release.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chassis:
The Morgan EvaGT makes full use of clever technologies that the Morgan Motor Company has developed to manufacture a lightweight car. Morgan was one of the first car companies to see the advantage of a bonded aluminium chassis to give rigidity but also to save weight. The EvaGT uses a further developed version of the bonded aluminium chassis of the Morgan Aero SuperSports, a chassis that successfully competes in International GT3 Sports Car Racing. Compliant with European and US safety approvals.

Bodywork:
Morgan was the first car company in 1995 to see the benefit of superformed aluminium, an aircraft technology, to manufacture smooth accurate body parts. Morgan Design have sculpted a new shape for the Morgan EvaGT that focuses on natural materials and understands their unique technical properties. Using computer technology in design and in manufacture to ensure accuracy, the parts are then hand finished to make sure they feel as good as they look. A perfect �A� class surface, minimal shut lines, hidden wipers, flush door handles and sharp creases deflect air over the surface of the car. The new Morgan EvaGT represents a philosophy of lightweight luxury that embraces authenticity, sustainability and innovation achieving its final result through the process of skilled craftsmanship.

Technical Specification (subject to change):
BMW 3 litre straight six mono twin turbo with direct petrol injection 306bhp and 400nm torque

• Euro 5 and 6 compliant at 200 gms Co2/km, US FMVSS, CARB and EPA approved.
• 40 mpg / 7.06 litres/100kms
• 6 speed sport automatic or 6 speed manual gearbox.
• Rear wheel drive with fully independent intelligent suspension
• Aluminium body panels with a laminated internal safety structure.
• Predicted weight of 2755 lbs/1250 kg
• Predicted 0-60 mph 4.5 seconds/ 0-100km/h 4.5 seconds
• Predicted top speed 170mph / 273 km/h

Morgan's sales hit record levels

Despite the global credit crunch, Morgan managed to increase total sales to 690 units for 2009, a big increase on the historic average of around 400 a year. Sales in France and Germany increased, while in UK, they  stayed constant at 280 cars.

Future looks promising as the Aero SuperSports goes into production, heading for 740-750 units in total. The �125K SuperSports will be engineered for the US, so Morgan is planning total production of 200 units, twice what it committed to with the Aeromax, which couldn�t be sold in the US.
