 The Morgan LifeCar: Auto Union meets Tesla« »

Auto Union streamliner meets fuel cell green stuff. I dunno. It's pretty weird.


"Although very few details of the LifeCar concept car have emerged, Morgan says that it will go "far beyond the incremental adaptation of traditional car designs," seen in current hybrid cars. Furthermore, the use of a fuel cell hybrid power train, will according to Morgan, take vehicle architecture to a new level."

This car is utterly necessary. First, because they're absolutely right in stating that car design has been evolutionary, not revolutionary, for far too long. Second, because such styling is the antithesis of the "load-it-up-with-lots-of-clashing-details" school of design we're currently suffering through.


If it looks like that, I'll take one in brushed stainless, please.

No he won't. He'll be too busy making fun of the cross eyed headlights to notice anything else.

Ok, so after about five minutes of hard staring, I have to revise my opinion.

This is absolutely, ridiculously, sweet.

It's somehow utterly futuristic and very traditional at the same time. There's almost a sort of steampunk sort of thing going for it - the future, but as a Victorian engineer would draft it. It's absolutely magnificent.

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe lock the front-left and spin the rear tires to turn left, lock the front-right and spin tires to turn right?

It's quite a car... I love it, save for two things.
1. It's basically the same thing that comic book illustrators have been drawing since the '70s.
2. Given a completely clean sheet, they'd honestly stick with the cross-eyes?

Straight 6. I love a good V8 rumble, but British sports cars cry out for growly straight 6s, IMO.
