Hand built in Malvern, UK, Morgan's 3 Wheeler produces only 82bhp. But as it weighs only 525kg, it's pretty damn quick: 0-62mph takes just 6 seconds. Oh, and all that goes through one rear wheel...

I came back here to say that after 5 years I can finally say that I own my dream car 🎉🎉🎉 thanx a lot for making me a car guy Alex and everyone working at the best UA-cam channel IN THE WORLD
Is it a Morgan three wheel?
@@scarea2691 yes it is. Thought it was implied sorry if it wasn't clear.😅
You are an inspiration to us all! Where can we see a photo?
Damn, that was wholesome
A mug raised in your name, happy driving
I must confess, I do really want one of these.
me too buddy !
Me too
Who doesn’t
I cant take you seriously because of all the comedy skits you did lol
hahah u watch this also?!!
Yep lol
Did? Every Friday at 6pm :D
The best thing about owning a car like this is the excuse to dress up like Biggles every day :D
The only issue I have with this video is it makes the Morgan appear to have terrible handling which isn't the case. It had a flat tyre and that section of the video should have been removed or balanced out by footage after it was sorted to give a proper opinion of the handling.
Would you drive and review the handing on a BMW M3 with a flat tyre?
It does have terrible handling though. I recall, while riding in one, the car having to do a 3-pointer on a few mini roundabouts, due to the large turning circle and low degree of wheel lock. Also any amount of throttle in the corners will make it oversteer.
Bonkers car though, one of the most exhilarating things I’ve done.
I loved blatting along Jubilee Drive in the Malvern Hills when I lived in Worcester.. Has to be done in an open-top classic for full effect.
I'd happily watch your reviews, even if they were twice the duration of this video.
Hint.
Glad they are still making these
Pretty sure I followed you through Malvern for a bit filming this, recognise the car anyway! Decent review :)
The big S&S wedge-head is more automotive design than motorcycle, and that 80 or so hp is measured at the rear wheel; the engine is around 110 hp at the crank.
and 80hp on a, lets call it car, that weights near to nothing is enough i think.
It’s expensive to run and bad for the environment tho
Bruh 1 horsepower is alot-
Y'all getting salty over 'just' 80 horsepower ;w;
This video needs more views - the same goes for Car Throttle's all other old views!
I want one! Looked at there web site.
You have a myriad of options.
Really Cool!
Love this show!
Anybody know song title at the end of the video?
CarThrottle has come a long way.
I love this little 3 wheeler. The fact that it has some life into it. The rear wheel drive. The hard handling. I'd enjoy driving one of these. All the computerized shit like power steering and electronic fuel computer and anti locking brakes.. Takes all the feel of driving away.. I want my car to beat me. I want driving to be a challenge.
I'd love to have this car as a sunday car. Just cruising around the streets and enjoying the feel. Ofc this isn't a winter car or a daily driver. But it's a good example of brilliant engineering and the whole retro feel that takes you back.
I myself enjoy the driving part more than just getting from A to B.
A second opinion. UA-cam video: What Is A Stage 1 Morgan 3 Wheeler Like In 2019?
What's the name of the song at the start? The old fashioned style one?
Anybody know the song in the beginning?
So when are you driving the Morgan Aero???
What is with the music? We need to hear the SOUND!
this has to be the best video on the organ 3 wheeler, just an honest review. great work guys, keep it up.
I can confirm it's the only video on the Organ 3 Wheeler ;)
check your other Facebook inbox ;). Simon
Went to the exact location where you did the completely legal U turn, just a single line of scrapes on the road, shame it was wet would of been a black line!
(RCR in the background)
_So British!_
Alec Kelley Soooooo faaancaaaaay
Please do a review of a Morgan 4/4 or plus four. Greetings from ireland
The road he was driving on ( Jubilee Drive) is fantastic not very long but its got everything
I love that car
what is the song
How do u get to drive all of these cars?
On the Morgan website it says the engine is by S&S. Are those the engines Harley Davidsons use?
Every turn is a 3-point turn in that car.
My friend have one of those little gems
2:01 Song ? Thanks
Does anyone know the name of the song at the end??????????????
Brilliant
You cant make every video in the rain 😂😂
What shout we think about Britain 😂
Do they have airbags and abs?
I'd really love one of these, but they're incredibly expensive for a small fun car like this... and I can only imagine how people in my countries' car registering office would look at it like it's some kind of home-made atrocity, and wouldn't believe it's a factory-made legal car in the UK... they probably wouldn't even be able to write the name of it properly into the database, 'cause I guess there aren't any of these here in Hungary yet...
But I'd so love to be the weirdo with the tricycle bathtub on wiener wheels with a V2 stuck to the front :D
Is it comes with a parachute?
Late 1950s my first car, A 1930s B.S.A. 3 Wheeled car. Hat or Goggles were not needed with the top down, I was comfortably warm, And my passenger. A problem was oil And grease getting too the front breakes. I never got round to fixing that problem. I considered taking the side dore off so I could stick my leg out, And skid to a halt. But fate interfered and brought me a 10 year old Mark V Jaguar, That I had to replace the main shell bearings. With exbert supervision. A perfect car for a bookies runner.
Hilarious.. I want one!
3:05 LMAOOOOOOO
Flying around those curves with those skinny tires up front on wet pavement? Bound to be slow singing and flower bringing if he slid off that mountain side! Phew...good Lord man!😮
What an exciting little contraption! Would absolutely love one! But South African potholes... 😢
What's the music at 2:05?
Love that host so funny
0:52 look under, this is the answer to the fred flintstone mobile by morgan
U guys might just be the next TopGear, becouse as sad as it is, TopGear will end one day! D:
I have to disagree, dear sir. While Car Throttle are based in the U.K. and are quite funny I think the next Top Gear is going to be +/DRIVE (sorry, the tag isn't working for them for some reason). /DRIVE is more serious and they have a much better lay out for a possible move to television. But I think when Top Gear does eventually come to an unfortunate end we are going to have to go with it, and not try and mimic it. Many people have tried to do that with little success, the important thing is that we are going to have to find new shows, either on television or on UA-cam, if it's still around by then, and make sure they are being their own thing and not trying to be a remake of Top Gear.
IntrepidRacer13 /DRIVE........ Chris Harris packed his shit and left,Matt Farah making "one take" low budget stuff for TST,what happened?
EVILSPAWN1003 Yeah, it has gone down hill. But you have to realize at the time of my comment things were still pretty good over there. The fact of the matter is that there will never be another Top Gear UK like there is today. You don't just get that kind of chemistry.
IntrepidRacer13 Yes i realize i was a somewhat old comment,i just wondered if you knew what happened because like you say thngs were looking good for a long while. Big egos? I have a SNEAKING suspicion Chris Harris` sudden meteoric rise to automotive stardom may have had something to do with it....... thoughts? I`m actually a patron of his so blame it on me haha
EVILSPAWN1003 I'm not sure. I think it was a combination of multiple things, not least of which the move to DRIVE+, possibly the stupidest things they did. Between that, Chris Harris, Matt Farah, I think they just did themselves in. Sometimes I still watch After/Drive if it looks interesting, but usually I just ignore it in my feed.
Amazing car
Pointless, idiotic car. Its supposed to be a sports car with good handling but it isn't either, it has poor grip and terrible weight distribution with so much front bias havin that engine so much in front next to the wheels. Also its a really stupid design to have a classic engine box and the engine out in front, its like this car was designed by engineers on drugs.
Its neither a fast/good handling sports car, nor a practical car with room/roof and everything a normal car has. It is basically a show off toy because it's so different and unusual, but thats about it
The little Morgan 3-wheeler is the best fit for me because I'm tiny
You and Alex from XCar would be a great start for the makings of the next Top Gear. Seriously
I don't think the world has the patience for the both of us in one place.
I've been in love with the mortgage trucks ever since I saw them first on Legends of Motorsports when I fell asleep on the sofa in front of the television in 1969. Weird and fun and fast for the type, no longer a working man's sports car, though.
Is Mark still doing the Grinnall Scorpion, a far more modern take on the same concept.
Good stuff! but isn't hating on Prius's getting a little old? how about the millions of super slow compact diesel cars that are everywhere in Europe? slower then Prius's and way stinkier!
Exactly what i think
Uhmmm, no. Diesels rule. Always did.
the problem with the prius is that its advertised and thought of as the saviour of the human race when it isnt, little 1.2 liter diesels actually DO what they are supposed to do which is be fuel efficient :)
Thats a good point! I hadn't thought of it that way!
Hi. The Morgan 3 Wheeler is the descendant of the Blade Runner Spinner which is a Peugeot, though. God bless, Proverbs 31
I can dream about this but I don't want to pay for one. Why is the engine in the front and the driving wheel in the back? Maybe I should just stick with a Ninja 500. 110? It goes left and right
prius ownd the hybrid era - legendary
Hold on they still build these beauties.
And now for a smaller morgan: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ekomobil/picar-a-recumbent-pedal-car-with-style/messages/11490713
I have dreamed of owning a Morgan trike as long as l my visit to Castle Donnington.
Thirty five years forward after moving to the USA, l saw a JZR replica for sale for lessvthan half the price.I know it's not a patch on the original but let me tell you ......
it's a blast to pilot down curvy roads and everyone wants a look at it when we stop to refill the tank.
It's a bit of a squeeze for me at 6 ft and 180lbs but worth the experience.
Jacksonville Florida
Do you feel uncomfortable while driving a convertable?
i can make something that you cant do! wanna know what it is? wanna know what it is?
afford this beast
why so much hate about prius???
and it has a spare seat for the missus haha
Think about the power-to-weight, though... ;)
Alex Kersten Think about weight distribution though ;)
AR1G3 Aha, touché!
Alex Kersten hehe :D
Skinny tyres and throttle steering are the future! Who wants a hypercar when you can have some much fun without getting speeding tickets.
just looked at the price list.. .. er looks like they went up by 30-40% recently
Those tires are thinner than most spare tires
This thing needs a Hyabusa engine or something, just as a one of special.
* Hayabusa.
Nope, but puy suzuki smash titan will be great, much better
It's crazy how a car like this was built only 7 miles from me.
Took me 3 minutes to realize that you are driving on the correct lane ..Daft frog ,héhé...
1500cc 115hp/136nm 0-100kmh in less than 4.5s and a top speed of 186kmh..Weight less than 550kg
Why was he just driving back and forth along the jubilee road I do not know
Now give that car 200+hp. Please just do it, no questions.
Yamaha vmax v4 in there.
Does it have a trunk?
Yes, at the back. And it contains the spare wheel which is already installed, for practicality and space saving. ;)
Tristan Andrew Acosta Yes, just like can elephant.
...Top Gear...
There pretty cool, but 31k for that it's just a motorbike engine and mx-5 gearbox, where is all the cost coming from?
Man hours! I'd imagine these things take quite a long time to build
The joy of driving one plus the brand
because... race car bro
That’s a 1 point turn
It is basically a motor cycle type vehicle , with 3 motorcycle wheels , a longitudinally mounted motorcycle engine , a pair driving seats , tat's it ,but that is not the end , it is really light that you can carry it like a bike ,giving you the best in class driving experience!
And also too expensive for a fun and kitcar, finished in true british way of nowadays:very poor !
If the Prius thing is real then Ethan would convince the folks to not get a Morgan
made by me !!
Prove it!
It has nothing on a Robin Reliant
I wonder if anyone has ever tried an engine swap with a small radial engine Oo
I bet it doesn't have a very good heater.
if i get one of these cars, im going to put in a harley davidson 103 in it so it will sound better
I have read several places that it actually is a HD engine stock. Not sure that's true though.
ThirteenMatt oh
Done a bit more research, ans the conclusion is... That's an S&S engine. Still an american old style custom bike engine.
ThirteenMatt cool
Harley wouldn't do the deal. S&S build aftermarket Harley lumps and performance spares of all types in big bores and higher states of tune than Harley does. And you can get a LOT more power out of this engine.
great shame the Morgan Board dumped the iconic Charles Morgan.
Price?
These things are like $60,000 USD over here
2L? That's 2000cc engine..that's fucking huge..why only 90+hp
Gumball 3000!
😍😍😍😍
Dude, you should should take over Top Gear when the legends retire.
Dude, thanks! I'll see what I can do ;)
This didn't age well.
Morgan, i company i love but also slightly hate, however i read an article proving that are justified to...long story short i live in Canada and therefore can't get one.
31,000 pounds? For THAT? That's insane
Drive one, visit the factory, watch one being made, then you'll understand.
I enjoy driving every single day... and I have a boring Honda...
+Simon Coles Nice one. :D The 3 wheeler is about the pure and unfiltered enjoyment of driving.
If you enjoy driving this car, could you call yourself a Morgan Three-man?
Seen expensive car probly worth lot hundred thousand or more tonight
Put a Turbocharged Hayabusa engine in it
What a pity Morgan used an American engine.
A Guzzi engine would have been much more aesthetically pleasing I feel.
Chubby dude in a tiny car
Well they made it ev. I guess the deal with toyota is off.
+Thierry Allard Morgan is going to do a pure EV version of the trike for 2017
