The Morgan Motor Company announced that they would launch the 3 Wheeler in 2011 at the Geneva Motor Show. The 3 Wheeler was initially said to have a Harley-Davidson Screaming Eagle V-twin engine and a Mazda 5-speed manual transmission, and was estimated to deliver 115 horsepower 86 kW at the rear wheel. However, there was a surprise when the prototype that was shown at Geneva had an S&S engine. Production three-wheelers turned out to have S&S engines. The kerb weight was originally estimated to be less than 500 kilograms 1,102 lb, but the final weight was tested at 550 kg 1,212 lb. The acceleration from zero to 60 mph 97 km/h was estimated by Morgan as 4.5 seconds, with an estimated top speed of 115 mph 185 km/h.
