We knew the
Morgan 3 Wheeler was coming to America, we just didn't know when or how. The skinny, according to a report on
Inside Line, is that the 3 Wheeler will be sold through three U.S. dealerships beginning later this year. One of those dealers will be Liberty, the Seattle company that got this whole thing started by
designing the prototype -
Morgan then bought Liberty and used it to develop the production model.
The other two locations haven't been divulged, but one on each coast is the early betting line. We'll probably know after Morgan scion Charles has finished running his 3 Wheeler in next month's Gumball 3000 rally, and by then the company might have settled on an official U.S. price. Even if you do plan to make it yours, though, don't expect on soon: Morgan only plans to make 500 per year, and that exact number was already pre-sold eight months ago.

There have been plenty of excellent debuts over the past year, but few capture our imagination like the
Morgan 3 Wheeler. The V-twin-powered creation looks just like its forebears with its open cockpit, classic metalwork and three-wheel design. Being in love with any vehicle that looks as if it might kill us at any second, the 3 Wheeler is right up our alley.
The videos below haven't dulled that passion. We've amassed a smattering of clips, including a new showcasing the 3 Wheeler as it motors through the countryside.
Of course, should you find backwoods sprints too boring, we've also included a few videos that demonstrate just how much fun you can have vaporizing the back tire. (The 3 Wheeler lends itself to donuts like few other machines on the planet.)
Keep scrolling to take in the goodness for yourself.

Morgan has slapped their name onto the very successful
OAK Racing LMP2 Le Mans prototype, and they're headed back to the 24 Hours of Le Mans. How come we're not getting a wood-framed prototype racer, and why did this tie-up happen?

Morgan and OAK Racing have put together a video to showcase the car that Morgan will be
running at Le Mans this year in a jubilee celebration its GT2 class win in 1962. It's got just about everything you'd want from an LMP2 teaser: engine guts, carbon fiber, track time and roaring.
It might be missing an actual Morgan, though: the car is built by OAK's Onroak Automotive constructor division with a Pescarolo chassis and a Judd engine. When they're finished painting it, though, it will at least say "Morgan."
Even without the stickers, however, the video
you'll see below is still totally worth it.

One selling point for electric cars is that they have massive heaps of torque available from a standstill. This largely negates the need for multiple gear ratios, but that hasn't stopped Morgan from trying out a five-speed manual transmission on their new Plus E electric car.
