Discover Morgan’s ultra‑rare Midsummer Coupe, a handcrafted roadster‑to‑coupe conversion limited to just nine units. Learn more now!
British automaker Morgan has taken its award‑winning Midsummer roadster and turned it into an even more exclusive two‑door coupe. The new Midsummer Coupe is the result of a continued partnership with Italy’s legendary design house Pininfarina and will be produced in a strictly limited run of just nine units.
From Open‑Top to Fixed‑Roof
The idea for a hard‑top version originated from a client request for a version of the Midsummer that could be driven year‑round without the need for a soft top. Morgan answered by adding a sleek, glass‑panelled roof that stretches from the windshield to the rear, split by a thin metal rib that runs the length of the car. The coupe’s doors are slightly taller than those on the roadster, and the handles are integrated into the body line for a seamless look.
Design Touches
- 19‑inch multi‑spoke alloy wheels, exclusive to the coupe.
- U‑shaped rear glass and larger side windows that flood the cabin with natural light.
- Hand‑stitched leather, polished wood, and brushed aluminium interior finishes – a nod to Morgan’s artisanal heritage.
- Aluminium‑crafted gear‑shift lever replacing the standard BMW steel knob.
Performance Under the Hood
The Midsummer Coupe retains the powertrain that underpins the roadster: a BMW B58 3.0‑litre turbocharged inline‑six, mounted transversely and sending power to the rear wheels. While Morgan has not disclosed exact output figures for the coupe, the same engine delivers 402 hp and 500 Nm of torque in the Midsummer Supersport 400.
Transmission duties are handled by a ZF 8‑speed automatic gearbox, identical to the one used in the open‑top version. Despite the addition of a fixed roof, the coupe is only about 2.5 % heavier than the Supersport with an optional hard top, thanks to extensive chassis reinforcement and weight‑saving aluminium components.
Pricing and Availability
Pricing has not been officially announced, but industry analysts expect the Midsummer Coupe to sit above the roadster’s starting price of £200,000 (approximately US$250,000). With only nine examples slated for production, the model is poised to become a collector’s item almost as soon as it hits the showroom floor.
What Makes It Special?
Beyond its rarity, the Midsummer Coupe showcases Morgan’s ability to blend classic British craftsmanship with modern Italian styling and German engineering. The result is a uniquely personal sports car that offers both the visceral thrill of a roadster and the practicality of a hard‑top coupe.
For enthusiasts who value exclusivity, hand‑built quality, and a partnership that spans three automotive legends, the Morgan Midsummer Coupe represents one of the most compelling limited‑edition launches of the year.
