There's no question that the new Morgan EvaGT is a looker; most Morgans are. The British marque's latest niche-tourer has evolved rather nicely from paper to static concept, but the few noticeable changes leave me wondering if they were for the better.
The rear end is fine, but I'm still not sure about that center exhaust situation. Also, those round taillights seem out of place and are nowhere near as elegant as the thin LED strips initially seen in the sketches (see them here). The headlights aren't as feline as the original pics either, but they come off as appropriate and are thankfully not cross-eyed.
Really, though, these are discrepancies that would surely be handled if I were as liquid as, say, Gordon Gecko or Les Grossman and in the market for number-one stunning.
After the love-it or hate-it Aero 8, this new Morgan seems to be playing a little more by the rules. Is that a good thing? Leave your thoughts about the new design down below.
