Morgan Eva GT

Along with the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, we've brought you all the details of the new Morgan EvaGT as they've trickled out over the Internet in the past few weeks. Today, at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours' concept-car lawn, we were able to lens the tradition-breaking EvaGT for the first time.

What's so new about the Morgan? The teardrop motif reminds us of old Talbot-Lago coupes, so it's not that. It's what's underneath, or more precisely, what's not. Morgan's fame has come from building wood-framed cars decades after all other automakers abandoned the technique. The EvaGT jumps several generations of automotive technology and promises a new all-aluminum chassis like the one found in its prior concept, the Aero SuperSports.

The EvaGT is also unique for Morgan, in that it will carry four passengers.

The powertrain's a stock BMW twin-turbo 3.0-liter in-line six, rated at 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Morgan estimates a 0-60 mph time of less than 4.5 seconds, and a top speed of 175 mph.

Pricing likely will start around $150,000, with the first owners taking delivery in 2012.

    One correction it is not the first Morgan to carry 4 - There have been 4 seater Morgans for some time although arguably only since 2006 with the latest 4 seater have they truly carried 4 adults in comfort.

    Looks brilliant in the flesh, people might even mistake it for a Bugatti with it's similar grille and signature "spine".

    Morgan have made 4 seaters for most of their existence. My 4 seater (1952-early 90s style) happily takes 4 adults to LeMans. We would even fit in a Mini, say, which is supposed ton seat 4. Comfort is debateable, especially for those in the rear at motorway speeds - then it can't be accused of being anodyne.
