The Morgan Midsummer: A Limited-Edition Collaboration with Pininfarina

Introduction

Morgan has joined forces with Pininfarina to bring to life a unique and exclusive vehicle known as the Midsummer. This collaboration has resulted in a bespoke barchetta that is built on the Morgan Plus Six platform and is powered by a BMW-sourced six-cylinder engine. Limited to just 50 units, all of which have already been reserved by eager customers.

The Partnership

The Midsummer marks the debut of the Pininfarina Fuoriserie badge on a production model, signaling potential future coachbuilt projects between Pininfarina and other automakers. Morgan’s rich history in coachbuilding makes it a natural choice for this inaugural partnership.

Design and Features

The exterior design of the Midsummer showcases a blend of Morgan’s iconic elements with Pininfarina’s signature flair. The hand-formed aluminum bodywork, teak-covered cabin, and bespoke interior details make this vehicle a true work of art. The open-air driving experience is enhanced by the minimalist windshield design.

Performance and Pricing

Under the hood, the Midsummer houses a turbocharged six-cylinder engine from BMW, paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. With a target weight of 1,000 kg (2,205 lbs) and custom-tuned suspension, the Midsummer promises an exhilarating driving experience. Each unit is priced at around £200,000 ($250,000), offering customers a chance to own a piece of automotive history.

Debut and Production

The public unveiling of the Midsummer is set to take place at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed in July. Production will commence later in the year, coinciding with Morgan’s 115th anniversary celebration in 2025. Stay tuned for more updates on this exclusive collaboration between Morgan and Pininfarina.
