Morgan’s new Midsummer Coupe is a stunning sports car with a wooden roof crossmember

Morgan has just unveiled the Midsummer Coupe, a breathtaking fixed-head sports car that doubles down on the brand’s retro charm while adding a modern twist. Only nine examples will be built, all customer-commissioned, and none are destined for the U.S. market.

This isn’t Morgan’s first rodeo with the Midsummer name—last year’s Midsummer roadster, co-developed with Pininfarina and based on the Supersport, was a limited-run open-top model with tiny motorcycle-style windshields. The new coupe swaps the wind in your hair for a proper roof, borrowing design cues from Morgan’s mid-2000s AeroMax and pairing them with a fresh structural backbone.

Morgan didn’t just graft a roof onto the roadster; it engineered a new passenger cell with billet aluminum A-pillars and a windshield bonded directly to the aluminum frame to boost rigidity. The doors are taller, reshaping the beltline and improving outward visibility.

Under that long hood sits BMW’s turbocharged 3.0-liter B58 inline-six, the same engine that powered the roadster to 335 horsepower. Morgan hasn’t confirmed the coupe’s output, but it’s likely the same as the Supersport 400’s 335 HP, mated to an 8-speed automatic.

A manual transmission isn’t listed, but given the car’s bespoke nature, Morgan might accommodate special requests—if the customer is willing to pay. The interior stays true to Morgan’s classic aesthetic, with cream leather and teak wood inlays throughout the prototype, dubbed the “artist’s proof.” Buyers can mix and match woods and leathers, and the wooden crossmember in the glass roof above the passengers’ heads is a standout feature.

Even the sun visors and rear-view mirror get teak accents. The Midsummer Coupe is a rolling testament to Morgan’s ability to blend vintage sports car ethos with modern engineering—if you can get your hands on one.
