Referred to as 'XP-1', the experimental prototype will provide key information to the engineers and designers at Morgan as they embark on creating the company's first production electric models.
The powertrain, engineered specifically for XP-1, gives Morgan's engineers complete control of calibrations that vary the throttle and regeneration level at different speeds, in order to create a range of driving modes featuring a mix of driving characteristics.
Developed over the last 12 months by Morgan's team of engineers based in Malvern, Worcestershire, XP-1 is based on Super 3's aluminium platform.
XP-1 is Combined Charging System (CCS) enabled for fast charging and features bi-directional charging capability, two important features that will help to futureproof the company's ongoing development activity.
A bespoke interior display allows for user interface (UI) experimentation. XP-1's display will continually evolve, allowing engineers and designers to gather feedback on how users interact with the vehicle, and the best way to communicate key vehicle information in future sports cars.
In bringing the XP-1 project to fruition, Morgan also begins the extensive process of workforce training and infrastructure adaptation.
Following 12 months of design and build, XP-1 will now embark on a comprehensive testing programme during the next 18-24 months, undergoing continual evolution to test new technology and features.
