Morgan has a lot of dedicated fans, but it's image is about as cutting-edge as a cantaloupe. The last time the company unveiled a new concept, the big news was that it had four wheels. But seriously folks, the Morgan LifeCar is a concept that has been a long time coming. It took several companies and three universities almost three years and nearly ₤2 million, including a healthy dose of government funding, to develop. And it's finally ready.
The LifeCar is based on the Morgan Aero 8 and powered by hydrogen fuel cells with regenerative braking technology in a package that is at once both futuristic and retro. (Leave it to the Brits to do both.) Together with its partners, Morgan, which was responsible for the design and final assembly, will take the wraps off the LifeCar concept at the fast-approaching Geneva show, and we've got an eyeful of images for you in the gallery below.

try getting your girlfriend/wife into the car without scoffing the paint with her shoes. that's probably the most uncomfortable ingress/egress in the automotive world.

A morgan that doesn't look cross eyed?!? whaaaa? This is actually cool looking from the side.

The rear end is very Corvette. I like everything but the rear. The coolest fuel efficient concept, ever!

"what's behind me doesn't matter"
seriously though, a pretty cool design. I'd imagine it would need a rear window of some sort if it ever became production.

is it just me or does the rear end look like a GT-R? i think that they could have done alot better on the car, the sweeping lines are good that coordinate with the doors, body-over-wheel look has to go, and the roofline reminds me of an alfa romeo 8C Competizione

>>> A very nice design indeed. I like it. Two thumbs up!

Remember those toy cars hand carved from blocks of wood you used to play with when you were a kid...Morgan does I see.
