The Morgan Eva GT is a proposed 2+2 sports tourer being developed by Morgan Motor Company of Malvern, Worcestershire, England.[1]

Launched at the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance show in California, it shares the chassis of the Morgan Aeromax SuperSports, but uses an elongated body. The car will also use the BMW N54 302bhp twin-turbo straight six, making the car Euro 6-emissions compliant.[2] The car's official press release noted it is expected to achieve 40 mpg. It will be offered with a 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission, and rear wheel drive only. With aluminum body panels, Morgan expects the car to weigh 2755 lb. Along with these specifications it is speculated the Eva GT will reach 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, with a top speed of 170 mph.[3]

Expected to be priced between £70,000-£85,000, deposits are being taken for delivery in 2012.[2]
