But unlike the Supra, the Morgan only comes with three wheels.
The Morgan Super 3, which was first revealed over a year ago, is finally coming to the United States. Morgan ceased production of the 3 Wheeler back in 2019, and none of the UK automaker's four-wheel models (the Plus Four and Plus Six) are currently for sale in the US; the last one hasn't been available since 2005. As with other three-wheeled vehicles like the Polaris Slingshot, the Super 3 is homologated as a motorcycle, meaning it doesn't need to include air bags, ABS, and more.
Morgan still needed to alter the design a bit to sell it in the USA. The front lights are housed within the body shape and the taillights, turn signals, and reflectors are all specific to the US market. Pricing starts at $53,937, which is a bit more than a GR Supra with the six-cylinder engine; and the Toyota comes with four wheels, not three. Keep in mind though, this is a hand-built car that can be custom ordered.

Power in the Super 3 comes from a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine sourced from Ford. A similar engine is used in the Ford Bronco Sport. It produces just 118 horsepower and 110 lb-ft of torque, which is a substantial increase over the 3 Wheeler's 82 hp and 103 lb-ft. That power is routed out to the single rear wheel through a five-speed manual transmission from a Mazda MX-5 Miata. At only 1,400 pounds dry, it's around 1,000 lbs lighter than the Miata. Morgan says 0-62 mph takes around seven seconds and if you are daring enough, the Super 3 will get up to 130 mph, which sounds terrifying.
This is obviously not a practical vehicle (it lacks a roof or doors), but it does have a trunk in the back and customers can even add an exoskeleton rear luggage rack for more storage. The luggage rack is cleverly designed so the trunk is still accessible and the Super 3 is also available bungie cord side racks to carry soft bags.

The interior is pretty simple with only two digital gauges showing essential information. The seats come in several water-resistant materials, including vinyl, leather, saddle leather, or fabric. There's no air conditioning but you can get a footwell heater.
“It's a proud moment to see Morgan back in the United States, and we couldn't have wished for a more exciting, individual, and distinctive model to mark our return with. Super 3 has already received significant interest from Morgan owners and fans in the country, and we can't wait to see the incredible adventures that our customers will embark upon. I know the team here in Malvern – all of whom have worked incredibly hard to get to this point – will join me in their excitement as we enter the next chapter of Morgan's story in the United States,” says Massimo Fumarola, Chief Executive Officer, Morgan Motor Company.
