- Midsummer Coupé marks Morgan's return to hard top models since the Aero 8 in 2015.
- Only 9 examples of the Midsummer Coupe would be built, making it dramatically rarer than the already-exclusive 50-car Midsummer roadster.
- Powering the Coupe is a BMW-sourced straight-six engine churning out 340hp.
- Morgan has turned its stunning roadster into an ultra-exclusive coupé – its first hard-top in more than a decade.
- The roof itself is effectively a full glass canopy, split in the middle by a distinctive dividing strip that continues down the whole length of the car.
- Morgan chief design officer Jonathan Wells said: 'Midsummer Coupé represents the culmination of an extraordinary creative journey.'
- The prototype shown today, referred to internally as the 'artists' proof,' will serve as the design and engineering reference for nine client commissions to follow.
- Morgan said it introduces 'dramatically different proportions,' with a bespoke design that 'fundamentally changes the character of the car.'
- The Coupé also introduces new elements, including a machined-aluminium beltline that integrates the door handle and a drop-glass side-window system.
- Morgan said the centre body is hand-formed from flat aluminium sheet using English wheels, with panels shaped to close enough tolerances to minimise the need for filler material.
- Each of the nine client cars will be developed individually, with owners working directly with Morgan's design team on colours, materials and trim.
Morgan Motor Company has introduced the Midsummer Coupé, a limited-edition fixed-head model developed with Pininfarina, marking a significant milestone in the brand's bespoke coachbuilding program. Only nine examples will be produced, making it even rarer than the 50-car Midsummer roadster.17
The Midsummer Coupé is powered by a BMW-sourced 3.0-liter inline-six engine that delivers 340hp. Although performance figures are not yet available, the similar Supersport 400 model accelerates from zero to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 180 mph.
This model features a fixed roof that transforms the design into a more dramatic car, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality. The roof is described as a full glass canopy, designed to improve refinement, practicality, and year-round usability. Morgan emphasizes that the roof was not merely a stylistic addition but a significant structural development, incorporating billet-machined aluminium A-pillars to maintain body rigidity.6
Morgan's chief design officer, Jonathan Wells, stated, 'Midsummer Coupé represents the culmination of an extraordinary creative journey.' Each of the nine cars will be customized, allowing owners to collaborate with Morgan's design team on colors and materials. The prototype will be showcased at the Louwman Collection in The Hague before deliveries commence.
“Morgan has unveiled the Midsummer Coupé, its first hard-top model in over a decade, featuring a BMW-sourced 400 hp engine. Only nine units will be produced, making it an ultra-exclusive addition to the brand's lineup.”
