Morgan Threewheeler Concept

British sportscar manufacturer Morgan is planning to re-release its iconic Threewheeler after a 58 year hiatus.

The classic vehicle, which retains the design of the original Threewheeler sold between 1909 and 1953, features an aerodynamic super-formed 'bullet' hull wrapped around a tubular frame and gloss black wire wheels, wheelarches and lamps.

Unlike the original, however, a 1.8-liter V-Twin engine sourced from Harley Davidson will send power to the single rear wheel via a Mazda five-speed gearbox. The modern incarnation weighs in at 500kg.

The car's aircraft-inspired leather padded cockpit features aluminum toggle switches and a 'bomb release' start button. Morgan claims its spartan ambiance 'indulges the feeling of flying through the air.'

The Threewheeler will be relaunched on the company's stand at the 2011 Geneva motor show.
