Lightweight Construction with Aluminium Chassis & Body



Morgan is renowned as a prestigious manufacturer, having produced the '4/4' for over 70 years, a car that embodies the essence of lightweight sports cars by mounting a powerful engine onto a light wooden frame. The Eva GT represents Morgan's latest creation.

The style features a 2-door coupe body with a 4-seater cabin, and aluminium has been employed for the chassis and body to reduce weight.
Furthermore, the body, crafted by hand, expresses Morgan's signature flowing silhouette.
