From here: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/15/m...-pebble-beach/

The Morgan Motor Company has been making new cars all along, but some people seem to have forgotten that fact as most of their "new" models looked a heckuva lot like their old models. That started to change with the introduction of their Aero cars a few years ago – and we predict the name "Morgan" will be a little more common once their latest concept hits showrooms. The company took the wraps off their new EvaGT in Pebble Beach on Sunday, right in front of the Pebble Beach Lodge on the concept lawn of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. We had seen a partial sketch a few weeks ago, but holy wow is this car stunning in person. There's a full press release after the jump and a gallery of high-res pics for you too, but the basic stats are these: It uses a 3.0-liter BMW straight six that produces 306 horsepower, a six-speed automatic or manual transmission, weighs just 2,755 pounds, gets 40 miles per gallon (Imperial) and can scoot from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds.

Wow, I like it because it's so unique. It looks like it has a Bugatti grill.

Gorgeous, looks like it could be hiding a 12 cyl under that long hood. Too bad it needs more juice, I think it belongs in that 3-3.5 sec 0-60 category because I can't imagine that this car is even remotely affordable.

Someone at work has had two Morgans, but this is a huge departure. Not sure about the styling.

It's cool, but the wheels don't match IMO.

The back is a little weird, but overall I quite like it.
