Une nouvelle Morgan, l'EvaGT

[Corsugone]

Exact, le bi-ton donne à la Calandre un aspect de pare choc à l'américaine. Trop mastoc.

C'est sublime !

[SebM]

Pas fan non plus... attendons la version définitive...

[ZeusRS]

Je trouve pas si mal... L'arrière est un peu torturé mais c'est commun aux Morgan à mon goût... Vivement la version définitive...

C'est peut-être bon signe pour Morgan, elle semble plaire aux "nouveaux clients" plutôt qu'aux "traditionnels".... Il y a plusieurs exemples identiques dans le passé, qui n'avaient pas forcément été mauvais pour le constructeur (Ferrari, Porsche 996, entre autre).

c'est assez sexy cette chose... A voir sur le concept final.

Toi, c'est pas des lunettes qu'il te faut! C'est une chienne et un canard!

EvaGT DELAYED
Malvern, June 21, 2011
In a recent interview, Mr. Charles Morgan stated that the EvaGT, unveiled in clay at Pebble Beach last summer, will be presented again at the Geneva Show in 2012. Dealer demos will ship in the Fall of 2012 and customer deliveries soon after. As yet, the promised quarterly updates have not been forthcoming. July 30, 2011. Mr. Morgan now indicates that EvaGT production will only begin after the 2013 Geneva Show. His retail cost estimate has doubled since last year with Agents now indicating a £96,000 sticker price instead of the original 40k (for the UK)

Superbe.
La Bugatti, c'est elle.

Des nouvelles de la chose, il semblerait que Morgan planche dure sur le châssis. L'usage du magnesium crépitant à la flamme fera peut-être exploser les ventes

Morgan Motor Company - Eva GT Update – December 2011

Please let me start this email by apologising for the delay in contacting you regarding the EvaGT.

During the past 6 months, Morgan has secured funding from the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) to allow it to participate in and manage a £1.4 million collaborative project to use revolutionary materials in a chassis application. The project named MagMog consists of 5 partners who are all experts in their relevant fields. The project partners are:

· Morgan Motor Company Ltd – Lead Partner in the project

· Penso Consulting Ltd – a design house with expertise in several premium sportscar designs.

· Superform Aluminium – the current supplier of Morgan Motor Company wings and body panels, Superform have the forming knowledge required to make this project succeed.

· Coventry University – Specialists in panel joining and fatigue testing

· Magnesium Elektron UK – the world’s largest manufacturer of Magnesium sheet, M.E. have unrivalled knowledge in all areas of Magnesium usage.

The MagMog chassis development project started on November 1st 2011. The project aims to develop appropriate technologies to enable magnesium alloy to be used as the primary material in the construction of a body-in-white structure for the EvaGT. This will improve structural performance at a reduced comparative weight. Magnesium is the lightest structural metal available, 30% less dense than aluminium and is the eighth most abundant elements globally. Due to its inherent properties, use of sheet magnesium for vehicle structural applications will require hot-forming, increasingly being adopted by premium car manufacturers as it can produce larger and more complex panels. Morgan Motor Company intends to provide the initial route to market by adopting the developed technologies on its next generation of premium sports car, the EvaGT.

This project, along with Morgan Motor Company’s desire to exceed the standard safety requirements for the EvaGT has resulted in the planned launch date being delayed. We now intend to launch the EvaGT at the 2014 Geneva Motorshow. While this delay is undesirable and inconvenient, we have taken the decision to pursue these projects to ensure the EvaGT is at the forefront of both environmental and safety technology.

Yours Sincerely,

Charles Morgan
Managing Director
Morgan Motor Company
