British sports car maker, Morgan Motor Company, which has been producing exquisite hand-made machines for over 100 years, has today announced that it has its eye firmly fixed on an electric future with the introduction of its XP-1 developmental vehicle.
Not destined for production in its current guise, the nippy three-wheeler, which itself is based on the same aluminum platform as the marque’s current, Ford 1.5-liter, petrol-powered Super 3, is purely a technology demonstrator, designed to allow engineers at the historic Malvern factory to work out the best combination of components, software mapping and configuration to make a pure EV that stays true to Morgan's lightweight ethos.
