flexibility of the timeless Morgan silhouette.

sculptured wooden structures which surround the cabin and create a distinctive shoulder line.

• Designers and engineers from Morgan and Pininfarina worked intensely to create Midsummer,
resulting in a final design that is both striking and unique.

car.
May 16, Malvern, UK - Morgan Motor Company and Pininfarina S.p.A. are delighted to present
Midsummer, a celebration of coachbuilding by two of the longest-established coachbuilders in the world.
Created in recognition of the heyday of European barchetta designs, this special - limited to just 50
examples - represents the shared vision of Morgan and Pininfarina, who have collaborated to reinterpret
and celebrate the timeless Morgan silhouette.
A Morgan special project, Midsummer demonstrates the flexibility of Morgan design whilst simultaneously
showcasing the rare craft skill of the artisans who hand form every element of the distinctive body.
Midsummer is based on Morgan’s latest CX-Generation Bonded Aluminium Platform and features a six cylinder turbocharged engine and eight-speed automatic transmission.
Just 50 Midsummer will be produced, all of which have been sold to customers during a series of exclusive
preview sessions. Remaining close to the project, every customer will benefit from individual consultation
with Morgan’s designers to help tailor their Midsummer. These creative discussions will help to turn each
customer’s vision into reality, ensuring every Midsummer is a true one-off. Production begins in 2024,
Morgan’s 115th year, and will conclude during 2025. Prospective customers for Morgan special projects are
invited to submit their proposal to Morgan. Midsummer’s first public debut is anticipated at the 2024
Goodwood Festival of Speed, held in July
