We've had the side profile teaser shot which looked pretty damn stunning:



Now they've released a sketch:



I know it's only a design sketch, but wow. Just so very very wow.

The first Moggy without round headlights?

Seems as if they've finally taken the final step towards a truly modern looking Morgan.

In my eyes the Aeromax, though absolutely stunning and gorgeous, was still a halfway house, still using traditional Morgan design cues like the headlights.

This Eva GT looks amazing. Apparently a 2+2, using BMW 302bhp 3.0 turbo i6, weighing under 1.3t.

Yum.

Pretty sketch, but it will not look like that in a million years. The rear view is non existent, as is the side view, and the angle and size of the winscreen are not practical.

You might get a few of the design cues in the production version; the up-swept rear and the flared arches for example. But that is all. The proportions you see will not be what goes into production.

I really dont like that grill... its almost Bugatti in appearence... they need to keep some things "traditional" or they risk diluting their brand image... lets face it, they are a nieche manufacturer who provide very well in that sector....

Matthew Humphries is a very talented chap! Having met him at the Goodwood FOS it was quite amusing trying to get information about the car out of him. You could tell that he was really proud of it and that he wanted to talk about it but wasn't allowed!

I'm fully aware that it's just a design sketch, but Morgan don't really have to conform to the norm with this car. They're only making 100 of them, and even if it had no rear window at all, it'd still sell.

I'd say the side view is perfectly feasible, given the Aeromax, and the rear view on the Supersport isn't exactly amazing:



I know it will be productionised, but for me that sketch shows one of the best looking cars in a long time.

Ah ha, Captain Nemo from League of Extraordinary Gentlemen has designed the new Morgan. (And a very nice job he does too!)
