Say Goodbye to the Iconic 3 Wheeler<\/h2>\n

Morgan revealed the 3 Wheeler P101, which will be the final iteration of the 3 Wheeler in its current form.<\/strong> This version of the car (trike?) will celebrate the nearly decade-long production run.<\/p>\n

The 3 Wheeler was crafted by Matthew Humpries who I had the pleasure of speaking with earlier this year<\/a>.<\/strong> He was the youngest design chief for the company and really any major car company ever. It wasn’t his only creation, but it’s one of his most memorable.<\/p>\n

The 3 Wheeler P101 is named after the internal model code for the 3 Wheeler when it was in development. The main reason the 3 wheeler will cease to exist is that type approval for its S&S V-twin engine is set to expire at the end of 2021.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The P101 is intended for a single occupant<\/strong> with a composite resin tonneau covering the passenger side of the cockpit. It’s finished in a natural translucent golden color. There’s also a new low-drag aero-disc wheel with a brass wheel hub. There are two Hella spot lamps out front, mounted low to the ground to reduce turbulence.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the car sports straight-cut exhausts that are ceramic coated in alternating colors. There’s a small fly screen, new louvers, and exposed rivets.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can also add a few different customization options including Dazzleship that brings military-inspired elements and the Aviator pack that adds nose art from WWII RAF planes.<\/p>\n

In terms of performance, things have not changed. You still get the 2.0-liter S&S V-twin engine that sends 68 hp and 95 lb-ft of torque<\/strong> to the single rear wheel. This vehicle can still do a 0 to 62 mph run in about 7 seconds and it will top out at 115 mph. It can do this because of its light 585 kg curb weight.<\/p>\n

Production of this vehicle is underway right now. It will cost \u00a345,000 (about $59,700). I’m not seeing expected production numbers, but I can’t imagine Morgan to make too many of these.<\/p>\n
