The Eccentric’s Electric: Morgan’s Wooden Three-Wheeler

Morgan Motor Company, best known for its three-wheels has stepped into the future with the EV3. This ride is inspired by 1930s aero-engine race cars, classic motorcycles and 1950s fantasy automatons (awesome) and dawns a $50,000 price tag on sale later this year. Check out some of the specs:

• Carbon fiber hood
• Aluminum panels laid over an ash wood frame
• Brass cooling fins that channel air to the 20-kilowatt hour lithium ion battery
• Liquid-cooled 46-kW motor
• Under 1,100 pounds
• Tops out around 90 mph
• 62 mph in 9 seconds (not too shabby)
