Neither hybrid nor autonomous, this Morgan does wonders

In an era of connected electric cars and ubiquitous driver aids, the Morgan Midsummer Coupé is an exception.
At a time when manufacturers are competing with giant batteries, oversized screens, onboard artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving, Morgan has just unveiled what is probably the most eccentric car of 2026. A vehicle that seems to ignore all market trends. And that is precisely what makes it so appealing.
The new Morgan Midsummer Coupé is anything but a technological showcase. It does not seek to revolutionize mobility or turn the driver into a mere supervisor of software. On the contrary, it claims an almost romantic approach to the automobile. A car designed primarily to evoke emotions.
Rare and precious Morgan
Produced in only nine units, this creation developed in collaboration with Pininfarina features a spectacular silhouette that blends classic inspirations with artisanal craftsmanship. Long hood, separate fenders, hand-shaped aluminum bodywork, and a structure that still incorporates wood: every detail seems to defy current automotive industry standards.
Of course, the Morgan Midsummer Coupé does not claim to compete with the latest electric cars in terms of autonomy, nor with premium sedans in terms of safety features. It rather represents an enchanted pause in an automotive universe sometimes obsessed with screens, algorithms, and standards.
Yet beneath its appearance of a machine from another century lies a modern foundation. The aluminum CXV platform hosts the BMW B58 six-cylinder engine, ensuring performance that matches its appearance.
