Morgan will unveil at the Geneva Motor Show, the LifeCar concept, a fuel cell hybrid sportscar based on the Aero Eight and developed in partnership with QinetiQ, OSCar and Oxford University. The new vehicle will be ultra quiet, and its exhaust system will produce only water vapor thanks to its fuel cell converting hydrogen into electricity.

LIFECar has been a 2 ½ year project. The consortium hopes that the LIFECar will produce a combination of performance, range and fuel economy that should alter our view of motoring for the future. Costing a total of £1.9m, with a mix of industry and DTI funding, the two and a half year project has been broken down into the following areas of responsibility.
