Just saw the specs of the new replica of the three-wheeled Morgan English convertible
sports car. It weighs virtually the same as the Elio but has God-awful aero characteristics.
Has an 82 HP engine versus 55HP for Elio , 103 foot pounds torgue vs 55 for Elio ,1.9 liter engine versus 0.9 liters for Elio and acceleration of 0 to 62 MPH of 6.0 seconds ( 0 to 60 in 5.8 seconds!!!) with a 5 speed manual.
Mileage (European test cycles) - town - 22 MPG, highway - 45 MPG. Base price - $45,800.
If the promised turbocharged Elio motor arrives, I would expect it to come fairly close to
the Morgan engine in power and acceleration, since both cars weigh virtually the same.
