The all-new Morgan Super 3 is Morgan's long-awaited update to their beloved Three-Wheeler. For the first time in a Morgan, there's no wood! They've also ditched the iconoic air-cooled V-Twin for a car engine, supplied by Ford. It's more powerful, usable, efficient, and better made than the old model. But does "better" mean it's better than before? Matt and Zack hit the canyons to find out!
Morgan provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.
FULL DISCLOSURE: Morgan's press fleet vehicles are stored and managed by Westside Collector Car Storage, which is owned by Matt Farah.

OG's remember the Alex Roy video where Matt and Alex basically laughed through the entire video ❤
-
“It’s got proper gauges that show you, uh, the truth” - great line
-
"I feel like I am understeering a bicycle" slightly worried face "which is a very new sensation!"
-
Thought I was going to watch a video on the Super 3, instead got a front row seat to Zack's personal gun show.
-
I love these vehicles where you feel like you are going fast but are going relatively slow. Easier to have fun. It also goes to show how removed we are by new cars and tech from how fast we are actually going. Whether that's a good or bad thing I don't know but you find out pretty quick if you lose control or hit something...
-
As a Brit I am delighted Morgan has carried on with the 3 wheelers. Another super interesting one to look at is a Pembleton V-Sport 3 which weighs in at 770lbs, a handbuilt beauty for less than $50k. I can't justify one in my garage... yet so I have settled for a Ural motorbike and side car to get my 3 wheel fix... so wrong it's right.
-
Matt and Zack always make every review feel like you're just sitting around talking about cars with your best homeboy.
-
At least the freaky bot comments are positive ones
-
The Smoking Tire is the best car enthusiast channel on youtube. I am a Champion level Patron so don't need to watch the videos with ads but I do and don't skip over them just out of appreciation.
-
Can recommend the factory tours at the Malvern Morgan works,very informative and see cars at every stage of construction,afternoon tea included.
-
"OW! Something hit me in the face"
-
I'm glad to see helmets being worn driving this thing. Former Top Gear UK Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff was injured badly rolling one of these doing only 22mph without one. In the end, I would probably have just as much fun hustling a NA Miata around, maybe modded with ITBs to get bettter noise.
-
Zack, please just grow out the stache and channel your inner Graham Hill. It's all I can see when you drive a (sort of) open wheeler.
-
Those side "cargo" mounting boards look like stretchers attached to the side of a car.
-
It makes sense that the main party trick of a three wheeler with all the power going to that bike tire in back is understeer. A fourth wheel would let Morgan design a proper turning/handling car without fear of everyone looping it immediately. Even those bad brakes are by design. Rapid deceleration would without a doubt transfer too much weight off the rear wheel. Not something you want around a corner when you have one wheel in back.
-
I do think modernizing the 3 wheeler is overall positive, but the video with Matt and Alex is one of the best ever. The old V-twin sounded like it was going to spin a rod bearing and cough a valve out through the exhaust in the best way possible.
-
What funny timing. I literally drove behind one of the older Morgan 3 wheelers just two days ago. First one I’ve seen in person. When I told my wife about it I pulled up the video with Matt and Roy to show her. Such a great video. I could maybe see owning one of the old ones 10-15 years from now as a 4th car.
-
I was too distracted by Zack's triceps to pay attention to the first 12mins of this vid.
-
Thanks for this excellent review and greetings from the UK I only live around 15 miles away from the Morgan Factory must pay them a visit sometime, sat in the old one and it was tight, this looks better if less nostalgic Cheers!

The old one was a riot, really did sound like a WW2 plane. I couldn't feel my hands after a few hours of vibrations from the thing though, an S1 Elise felt like an Audi in comparison. Fun cars, would love a go in the new one.
