Morgan Motor Company may be steeped in the dusky liquors of the old world, but it's been making moves toward next-level thinking. Take the company's hydrogen fuel cell LifeCar project, and now its all-electric +E program. Part Caterham, part Nissan Leaf? More »

As British sports car maker Morgan's revived, Harley-powered 3 Wheeler nears production, Morgan has given us this demonstration of what you can do in a parking lot with 110 hp moving just 1,100 lbs. Will every version come with goggles? More »

After we noted the sale of Jeremy Clarkson's old Lambo, commenter Kamikaze5-0 noted that Richard Hammond has put his 2008 Morgan Aeromax up for sale as well, with an undisclosed price. If James May sells his Super Decathlon, something's up. More »

British wood-car builder Morgan stepped into the 21st century with the EvaGT, but it's also taking a step back by reviving the Threewheeler, with grunt from a Harley-Davidson V-Twin turning a Mazda gearbox. Has someone been reading our diary? More »

Holy. Shit. This is the Morgan EvaGT. The gorgeous new 2+2 weighs only 2755 lbs, sports a 306-hp BMW straight six, gets 40 MPG, and has set our pants on fire. Morgan, you've really outdone yourself this time. More »

Pebble Beach will see the unveil of the 2+2 Morgan EvaGT sport coupe. It'll ride on the Aero chassis, get a 306HP BMW inline-6, sprint to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and return 40 mpg. Hopefully, without the cross-eyes. [ MotoBullet] More »

Despite our initial beliefs, not all Morgans are made of wood. The $187,000 Aero Supersports, shown in Geneva in all its naked beauty, is all metal, BMW and sidepipes. What it lacks is glass: champagne flutes, to be exact. More »

Morgan has a tradition of being a bizarre, anachronistic and lovable builder of fast-but-cramped cars and the Morgan Aero Supersport continues this tradition with flying buttresses and a lift-off roof. It sits alone, quietly judging the Tesla Roadster behind it. More »

Despite the polished appearance and cinematic race sequence, this isn't a Nissan GT-R advertisement. It's an indie short by Dylan Osborn and friends filmed guerrilla-style against a New England backdrop. Datsun 240Z and a Morgan Aero 8? Nice. [DylanOsborn.com] More »

Perhaps now you understand the troubles we go through to select the lineup of the first 50 cars to fill the stalls of the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage. We presented to you theCaparo T1, warts and all, for consideration of the garage without the benefit of flowery prose or over the top hyperbole — the car itself is hyperbole enough. We wanted to see how a game-changing supercar would stand up to the harsh scrutiny of an unsoftened voting block because frankly, we're tired of everything getting in so easily. This is about whittling things down to a sharpened point, debating the merits and pitfalls of some of the greatest mechanical symphonies ever built, this should be a knock down drag out fight to get into the garage — that is unless we're talking about the Morgan Aero 8.

Even though we already saw the details of the Morgan LifeCar concept just a couple of weeks ago, Geneva is the first time it's been on display for all to see, and it's strangely delicate. The hydrogen fuel cell-powered LifeCar is a concept directed at a possible future for the builder of ash-framed always-been-retro sports cars. The exterior design follows that history, and the interior, while beautiful can easily be described as brutal in is cleanliness. Steam-bent plywood covered in hand stitched leather, a wood-rimmed steering wheel and a single gauge in the speedometer all find their way inside the LifeCar. It feels as though Morgan decided the juxtapose the high tech power train against an elegantly simple yet handsome interior. More »

Morgan is building the LifeCar to demonstrate, "that a zero emission vehicle can also be fun to drive." The tiny English car maker - better known for wood framed roadsters - is trying to do what no car maker has done before it: bring to market a fast, fun, desirable sports car that makes no sacrifices for its hydrogen fuel cell.

Yesterday's NSU-versus-Jensen matchup produced a near-tie, with the Interceptor holding a razor-thin lead at the time of this writing. We've been focusing on British iron quite a bit lately, since most of us seem to love and fear such cars in roughly equal measure, but it's probably time for us to leave the UK for a while, right? No dice, Jack- you're in Hell, remember, where the Prince of Darkness reigns! Let's go back, back, back in time for today's contestants, and to add yet another layer of difficulty, we're going to go with a pair of cars offered by seriously grumpy sellers. Thanks to tipster (and Morgan owner) Benjamin for pulling our coat about these cars! More »

Morgan, the UK builder of great traditional roadsters with wooden subframes, released more info about its new bid for emissions-free motoring. As part of the company's ongoing LifeCar project, first announced in 2005, Morgan's planning to roll out a hydrogen fuel-cell concept car at the 2008 Geneva show. It's a major joint effort, with help from Oscar Automotive, Cranfield University, QinetiQ, Oxford University and Linde. A rendering of the concept shows a car with design tropes of the Aero 8 combined with 1930s-era streamlining. No word on a roadster model, but how could they not? – Mike Spinelli More »

Well-heeled Morgan fans will spit their Chateau d'Yquem (at $100 a mouthful) when they hear the news: Morgan Motor Cars is building a limited run of the AeroMax Coupe — formerly a bespoke model created for a Swiss banker — starting in January 2008. Only 100 of the coachbuilt coupes will be built — one or two per week — with a 100th-anniversary model rolling off the line in 2009. Pricing in the UK is 94,000 ($174,000). Zurich enough?

We simply must apologize to the Morgan people for missing their model debut in Geneva (that's it, next year we bring the entourage). The UK company launched its new, four-seat roadster that didn't forget the family (what was that ad for again?). In a slight departure from the old Morgan Plus 4, which was offered with 2+2 seating, the Morgan 4 has full-size seats in the rear that fold down for cargo. It's offered with a range of Ford Duratec engines from a 145 bhp 2.0-liter four to a 3.0-liter six producing 223bhp, and base prices range from the UK equivalent of $54,000 to $68,000. More »

Abandoning three wheels is a perilously slippery slope toward building four-seat cars, apparently. After years of subsisting on Pluses and Aeros, the quirky British sports car manufacturer is ready to sic a four-seat roadster on us. Hewing more toward the classical side than the radically cross-eyed, BMW-powered Aero 8, the four seater will be available with 2.0L, 145hp four and a 3.0 V6 cranking out 223 horses. No word on what percentage of the car will be made of wood. [Thanks to Neil for the tip.] More »

Earlier this year, we reported on sports-car builder Morgan's work toward building a hydrogen-powered take on its famed roadsters. Now, we've got an image to match the concept. The result is the LIFECar, a one-seater based on the Morgan Aero Eight, which employs a fuel cell powering four electric motors, one at each drive wheel. Of course, half the fun of a Morgan is the possibility of being flung over the elbow-height doors and into a tree during a particularly heinous country curve. (We're pretty sure the driver of a multimillion-dollar LIFECar may not enjoy that degree of uncertainty.) Still, if the company's timeline is correct, it may have one of the first hydrogen cars in production. More »

Yes, that Morgan, builder of cars that still use wood as a structural element. Charles Morgan is working with a research firm called Qinetiq on a high-performance, fuel cell-powered sports car, to be called the LIFEcar. Due to drop in about three years, the LIFEcar is designed to show folks that hydrogen can be more than just a performance-enhancer for nuclear weapons and fuel for iconic album cover art. Quoth Morgan: "What's really exciting about driving? Perhaps the noise has nothing to do with it. Perhaps it's possible to make a car that's completely quiet, that drives like a sports car makes you feel every bit of the road but all you hear is a whoosh." We'll take ours with the Ferrari V-12 quadraphonic soundtrack option, thanks. More »

Morgan, maker of fine, hand-built sports cars, will bring a limited series of 82 two-seat Roadster models to the US later this year. Just as when they were introduced in 1960, the Roadsters ride on en frames — which may or may not be fashioned by a secret team of elves and ex-keyboardists from 1970s British heavy-metal acts. Despite underpinnings of ash, the cars are powered by 225hp, 3.0-liter V6s lifted from Ford's European Mondeo. As per US standardization, they've got airbags, along with leather upholstery and walnut dashboard. Plus, a built-in time machine can transport drivers back to the glory days of British motoring. At $73,500, plus shipping, it's a bargain, if just for the working. [Update: For clarification's sake — and so not to overstate the wood-to-steel proportion in the Morgan's makeup — it's got ash frame and a steel chassis. Thanks, Jack.] More »
