Morgan Motor Company and Pininfarina have collaborated to reinterpret the timeless Morgan silhouette. The result is the Midsummer, a 50-only limited edition built to celebrate Morgan’s 115-year coachbuilding philosophy and Pininfarina’s 95-year tradition of crafting bespoke vehicles. They have all been sold already.
The Midsummer name was chosen because it is the height of the summer, a season which provides optimal weather conditions to experience an open-top barchetta. The collaboration emerged from a desire by Morgan to create limited-run specials, based on its CX-Generation Bonded Aluminum Platform – and the Plus Six has a base price of $115,800
The light weight of the bonded aluminum chassis means the Plus Six tips the scales at just 1,145 kg, while the Midsummer has a target dry weight of just 1,000 kg by the time it sees production.
The public debut will be at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed on 11 July to 14 July 2024.
The Midsummer engine produces 335 hp. Midsummer production will conclude in 2025.
