Electric-powered Morgan EV3 revealed

This month’s Goodwood Festival of Speed will see the debut of a zero-emissions Morgan 3 Wheeler.

Called the EV3, it’s currently just a prototype. However, development is ongoing and a production version is expected to arrive towards the end of 2016.

Power is provided by a 100 bhp (75 kW / 101 PS) electric motor. Performance figures have yet to be confirmed, but that seems like a very decent output for a car that weighs just 450 kg (992 lbs).

Morgan says the EV3’s range should be around 150 miles (240 kilometres).

Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
