Photos – Morgan Motor Company
Britain’s venerable Morgan Motor Company has a new car – but there’s only nine to be built, and sadly, it looks like none of the Midsummer coupe will be coming to the U.S.
The design has billet aluminum A-pillars, with a windshield bonded directly to its structure. Inside, cream leather with teak wood inlays and real aluminum. Under its bonnet, BMW’s turbocharged 3-liter inline-6 paired to an 8-speed automatic.
“Midsummer Coupé began with a conversation,” said Morgan Managing Director Matthew Hole. “A client came to us with an idea and, rather than asking how closely we could meet that brief, we asked ourselves how far we could take it.”
The introduction of a fixed-head architecture allowed Morgan’s designers to rethink the vehicle’s proportions, the roofline flowing seamlessly into the rear bodywork. The ash body frame forms part of the load-bearing architecture, helping transfer loads through the structure whilst also providing natural acoustic benefits.
No price tag announced – and no mention of it on Morgan’s U.S. website.
