The steampunk worldview is a state of idealism where backwardness and advanced coexist, magic and science coexist, and spiritual utopian pursuits coexist. If there's one car brand in the world that best fits the spirit of "steampunk," I guess it can only be Morgan. Perhaps many people know Morgan because of the "tricycle", but the unique charm of Morgan is far more than that. As a car brand loved by The Crown Prince Charles of the United Kingdom, it seems to be born with a "pride", does not care about the eyes of the world, and only pursues the most authentic self. The complex mechanical beauty combined with the simplest or even rudimentary configuration, this is worthy of pure, this is Morgan!
There is no doubt that Morgan is a maverick British century-old car brand, and the "three bungeees" are its classics and are highly sought after by trendy players. Not long ago, the Morgan Super 3 was officially launched, and the new car adopts a classic retro three-wheel design, and is powered by a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine supplied by Ford. It is reported that the JPMorgan Super 3 is offered for up to 41,995 pounds (about 355,000 yuan) in the UK. According to the plan, the new car will be officially delivered starting in June this year.
Appearance: Faithful to the brand's classic rich retro style
The Morgan Super 3 uses the family's classic "tricycle" structural layout, although there is only one hidden tire at the rear, it still looks very F1 feel, and the overall shape is not only avant-garde, but also quite distinctive. The lever suspension adopts an exposed design, the structure is original and simple, highlighting the mechanical beauty and at the same time has good stability. In addition, the lower center of gravity and clear road sense feedback also greatly improve the handling of the vehicle. Morgan has a lot of experience in the bonded all-aluminum platform, which was used as early as Aero 8 more than 20 years ago, and then went through several upgrade iterations to finally serve the Morgan Super 3. Don't underestimate this seemingly retro overall structure, each of which is very ingenious and extremely pure.
Interior: The ultimate simplicity that does not belong to this era
The style of the center console is simple and retro, and the biggest highlight is the overall design layout, which has the taste of the old aircraft control station. The layout of the two-row seats in the open cockpit is very compact, and as for comfort, it must be really what you see is what you get, and there will be no surprises. In terms of configuration, the Morgan Super 3 is equipped with a heater, mobile phone holder, cup holder and a small amount of storage space, which is definitely "groundbreaking" for Morgan.
The most feared thing about the open cockpit is to encounter bad weather such as wind and rain, and the wind is really too much to help, if it is really not possible, it can only let the driver and occupants wear a helmet. As for the rain and snow weather, Morgan Super 3 is considered, the car supports IP64 level protection, generally speaking, the problem is not big, but if it is really encountered in extremely bad weather, such as heavy rain or something, the scene of water accumulation in the car, I think it should not be dreamy at all.
Motivation: Feel the purest driving pleasure
The three-cylinder engine has been sprayed by the market, I think I don't need to emphasize it anymore, but putting it on the Morgan Super 3 has instantly become a delicious food, which is really a creation. Comparing the parameters, the 1.5L three-cylinder engine provided by Ford is completely incomparable with the "Earth Dream" on the Fit, but thanks to the lightweight body design, the Morgan Super 300 km acceleration time is only 7s, and the design maximum speed is up to 209 km/h. What concept? Anyway, The Fit can't catch up! Not to mention the three-wheel structure layout, open cockpit design, tie-rod suspension and ultra-low center of gravity and other handling bonuses, not only is the speed "fast" enough, but in terms of driving pleasure, I think even a million-level supercar is difficult to match. In a way, you can even understand it as a formula car with one less wheel, which is really a pure big toy.
Market Outlook Analysis:
Classics have their own meaning of existence
summary
The world says that emotions are priceless, which I fully admit, but at the same time I also know that some things, money is only the most basic ticket. Admittedly, the unique charm of the Morgan Super 3 is indeed very attractive, and driving it on the street is definitely windy, but even with the blessing of cultural feelings, for the average person, it is only a "big toy" that can never be touched. However, the classic has its own meaning of existence, just like the Morgan brand, for a hundred years, although its product delivery quantity is very small, it can still write its own legendary story. Feelings and beliefs, maybe sometimes have to be like this unspeakable, in order to be more attractive!
