Continuing on from its off-road-capable CX-T, Morgan has taken a different approach with its newest special model: the Midsummer. Created in collaboration with Italian design firm Pininfarina, this model is designed for optimal performance on paved roads. The Midsummer features a sleek and elongated design, with luxurious detailing throughout.
Based on Morgan’s CX line of aluminum-chassis sports cars, the Midsummer has undergone significant styling changes for both aesthetics and functionality. The front grille sports a shroud with vents similar to those found on the Super 3, along with a prominent front spoiler to enhance aerodynamics. The body is hand-formed from aluminum, with meticulous attention to detail that includes polished stainless steel accents and a lengthened tail for a touch of art-deco elegance. The car rides on lightweight 19-inch forged aluminum wheels, further enhancing performance.
One of the standout features of the Midsummer is its distinctive cut-down windshield and teak wood panels. The windshield has been replaced with low clear deflectors, while the interior boasts teak wood accents on the dash and above the doors, paying homage to Morgan’s heritage of combining metal panels with wooden frames.
The interior of the Midsummer is equally impressive, with unique analog dials, a forged aluminum steering wheel, and oxblood leather upholstery. The car is powered by a BMW-sourced turbocharged inline-six engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering potent performance similar to the Plus Six model.
Morgan plans to produce only 50 units of the Midsummer, with production starting in the third quarter of this year and concluding next year. Prospective buyers can contact the company to discuss customization options. Pricing details have not been released, emphasizing the exclusivity of this special model. The Midsummer will make its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
