How would you describe the looks of the new Morgan Super 3? As I mull this over, I’ve got three image-search tabs open in my internet browser: ‘scorpion’; ‘chariot’; and ‘Star Wars pod-racer’.
The Super 3 has hints of all of them. It was important, say Morgan’s designers, that the front pair of wheels protruded to look as if they’re pulling the new tricycle along, even though it’s actually driven by its hidden single rear wheel.
As was its immediate predecessor, the air-cooled, V-twin 3 Wheeler. Launched in 2012, that car felt like a classic from the off.

The Super 3, less so. I’m not sure photos quite do justice to its depth and sculpture.
It helps to see it in the metal to fully appreciate, say, the large distance between the turbofan-style wheel and the side panel, separated by spindly pull-rod suspension.
Or the reflections and shadows cast into the bodywork, which looks pulled taut because it is, because it’s stressed, because the Super 3 is Morgan’s first true monocoque.

The Morgan Super 3’s taut bodywork and clever packaging give it a purposeful stance
