The tech could involve creating some kind of digital template on contact with the object, instead of using DNA... just... an outline. *shrug*

Also, I love Top Gear. :) Hammond is excellent.
The universe is, instant by instant, re-created anew. There is, in truth, no Past, only a memory of the Past. Blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. The only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it.

I also love Top Gear, despite not knowing anything about cars, lol.

Obviously it would be difficult to get hold of, but there are realistic versions of Bond cars in existence (eg. Armoured cars with weapon attachments). Or you could morph tanks or other military vehicles to use as battle morphs. Acquiring emergency vehicles wouldn't be very difficult but could be very useful.

Could change the dynamics of the morphing technology all together. It doesn't have to be magic as such, just "Physics we don't understand."

Instead of DNA your character could acquire the object's molecular structure. All objects are made of molecules and the idea of changing from organic to inorganic is a simple matter of restructuring those molecules.

Hope you're not just going to limit yourself to cars. I mean, you've got jets, submarines, radios and a world full of technology to acquire and morph.

I love the idea of morphing cars and other machines!  I suggest morphing a Bug Fighter, or Visser 3's Blade Ship, or an Andalite Dome ship!  Also a Chee!  (But would you inherit the Chee's non-violence programming?).

Morph a Dracon Beamer for your friend to fire!  Morph a drone to spy on your enemies!

Dude.

Dude the cat?

I suggest morphing a modem to tap into the Internet.

I did wonder earlier what would happen if the Animorphs tried to morph a banana.

Then we get "Fruitmorphs".

I have wanted the Animorphs to morph plants.
