The exclusive model boasts a handcrafted aluminum body and an abundance of wood accents in its open-air cabin.
Morgan has joined forces with Pininfarina to unveil a bespoke limited-edition vehicle named the Midsummer. This unique barchetta, built on the foundation of the Morgan Plus Six, is powered by a BMW-derived six-cylinder engine.
Limited to just 50 units, all of which are already spoken for, the Midsummer embodies luxury and exclusivity. It marks the debut of the Pininfarina Fuoriserie badge on a production model, suggesting future collaborations between the renowned Italian design house and other automakers.
With its heritage in coachbuilding, Morgan proves to be an ideal partner for this inaugural venture. The Midsummer sets a precedent for future collaborations, promising more exciting projects to come.
Built upon Morgan’s advanced CX-generation bonded aluminum platform, shared with the renowned Plus Six, the Midsummer boasts a bespoke body design that epitomizes automotive craftsmanship. Nestled beneath its elongated hood rests a potent BMW-sourced turbocharged six-cylinder engine, exclusively paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox for seamless power delivery.
Equipped with 19-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires, the Midsummer offers unparalleled grip and agility on the road. Its performance is further enhanced by adjustable Nitron dampers, meticulously tuned to deliver a bespoke driving experience tailored to the discerning driver.
With a targeted dry weight of 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs), on par with its donor car, the Midsummer promises exhilarating performance and handling dynamics.
Priced at approximately £200,000 ($250,000) per unit, the Midsummer offers discerning customers the opportunity to personalize their driving experience to their exact specifications. The highly anticipated public debut of the Midsummer is scheduled for the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, marking a milestone in Morgan’s 115-year history. Production is set to commence later this year, with deliveries expected to coincide with Morgan’s 115th anniversary celebrations in 2025.
