The collaboration between Morgan and Pininfarina is the result of a long-held desire by Morgan to build limited, special cars based on the CX platform that take Morgan’s recognisable design to the next level.
A unique collaboration
MORGAN MIDSUMMER
MIDSUMMER
Midsummer is a celebration of coachbuilding by two of the world’s longest-standing builders. Created in honour of the heyday of European barchetta designs, this special edition – limited to just 50 examples – represents the shared vision of Morgan and Pininfarina, who have collaborated to reinterpret and celebrate the timeless Morgan silhouette.
THE BEATING HEART OF THE MIDSUMMER
The Midsummer is equipped with the BMW-derived powertrain. We’re talking about the BMW Turbo six-cylinder engine, 340 HP on the rear wheels. In 4.0 seconds, the only 1,000 kg Midsummer shoots to 100. But the new technology also delivers gains in terms of fuel consumption and a cleaner engine.
Meet the Morgan
A TIMELESS STYLE ICON
As a timeless style icon, Midsummer exudes exclusivity in every detail, such as the 19-inch wheels designed especially for the model. Morgan’s new, silver-toned headlights flank the horseshoe-shaped grille. A crescent-shaped wind deflector, low in the nose, provides additional airflow to the grille. Small, vertical vents next to the grille provide additional cooling and air conduction.
Midsummer’s elegance is further emphasised by a longer rear end. This is a typical style feature of Pininfarina designs from the late 1930s and early 1940s. In the interior, the first thing to stand out are the analogue clocks. At a time when digital information screens are unimaginable, the handmade counters give peace to the eyes.

VISIBLE WOOD
Perhaps the most remarkable design detail of Midsummer is the use of wood on the exterior of the car. Wood has always played an important role in Morgan’s designs, but only as the material from which the frame is made and which serves as the basis for the hand-formed, aluminium sheet metal parts. As a result, the wood was never visible from the outside. That is different with Midsummer. The typical ‘barchetta’ shape offers the opportunity to accentuate the shoulder line with wood. Not only a challenge and a wonderful way to showcase their skills for the craftsmen who build every Morgan by hand, but also a paean to the material Morgan has relied on for so long.
