Why it matters
The Midsummer is the first Morgan to be styled together with an outside coachbuilder and the first whose panels were shaped without a clay model and refined in a wind tunnel. Pininfarina and Morgan describe it as a celebration of their combined two centuries of coachbuilding, and Morgan says its design language will inform later Plus Six models.

02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionlimited | 501 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The project began with a visit by Pininfarina designers to Morgan's Malvern Link factory in September 2022 and was settled at a meeting in Turin two months later; it was led by Morgan design chief Jonathan Wells over about two years. The car was revealed in May 2024 as a limited edition of 50, all of which were already sold, at a price of about GBP 200,000. Morgan said the batch would run through its normal Plus production process and finish in early 2025.
Mechanically it is a Plus Six, using the CX bonded-aluminium platform and the BMW-supplied 3.0-litre turbo six with an eight-speed automatic, while the body is all new. It is not homologated for US sale because it has no conventional windscreen.
