2025 Morgan Plus Six Pinnacle Edition

October 24, 2024 Francis Mitterrand

In 2019, the British company Morgan Motor presented the two-door roadster Morgan Plus Six. Five years later, the company announced that this model had reached its end, and for the occasion, the company produced a special edition, the Morgan Plus Six Pinnacle Edition.

The exterior of the Pinnacle Edition is identical to the standard model, and buyers will be able to choose a body color. However, the interior of the car has undergone certain changes. Comfortable and elegant seats are upholstered in Pawn, Explore or Riviera leather with unique stitching and Pinnacle embroidery. Leather also covers the door panels, upper dash and sun visors, some parts are covered in sheepskin, while the aluminum Pinnacle logo is on the center console veneer.

When it comes to the powertrain, the car is powered by BMW’s 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo 6-cylinder engine with 340 hp (250 kW) and
368 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 267 km/h (166 mph).

Morgan Motor will produce just 30 units of the Pinnacle Edition with a starting price of £96,995.

2025 Morgan Midsummer Limited Edition

May 19, 2024 Francis Mitterrand

Morgan and Pininfarina joined forces and produced a special model called Midsummer. It is a car based on the platform of the Morgan Plus Six model, and will be produced in only 50 copies, which are already sold out.

Midsummer is the first production model with the Pininfarina Fuoriserie label, which hints at more similar projects by the Italian design house in collaboration with other car manufacturers. Morgan is an appropriate choice for the first partnership given its long tradition of coachbuilding.

The car’s exterior design hints at key elements of the future Morgan design language mixed with Pininfarina perfection. At first glance, one could say that it is a pure Morgan – round headlights, long hood and fenders. The body is made of hand-formed aluminum panels, and it took more than 250 hours to make each part.

Inside, the two-seater cabin is covered with more than 400 layers of sustainably sourced teak, which are laminated together. The seats and door panels are covered in leather, while the analog instrument panel is made exclusively for Midsummer. Small windshields provide an unforgettable open-air driving experience.

Under the long hood is BMW’s 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine with 335 hp (250 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The car sits on a set of 19-inch wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires, and has adjustable Nitron shock absorbers. It weighs 1,000 kg without liquids.

The Morgan Midsummer will make its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, which will take place from 11 – 14 July. Production will start at the end of 2024, and the plan is for all 50 examples to leave the factory in 2025, when Morgan celebrates its 115th anniversary. When it comes to the price, each car will cost around £200,000.

Refreshed Morgan Plus Four and Morgan Plus Six

November 11, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

In 2019, Morgan Motor Company unveiled its new Plus Six sports car, and a year later the Plus Four roadster. Now Morgan has prepared a refresh for its immortal “open-air” duo, and the most changes come in the cabin.

Both models now have a new aluminum dashboard, which is offered in several colors, with a larger LCD display in addition to the traditional analog instruments behind and next to the steering wheel. Airbags, which were optional before the redesign, are now standard. There is also a new glove box design, and for a better atmosphere there is a superb Sennheiser audio system with eight speakers. The seats are upholstered in leather with two-tone fabric, which can also be seen on the door panels. Also, both cars now have new shock absorbers and Electronic Stability Control and AP Racing braking system.

The Morgan Plus Four is powered by a BMW 2.0-liter twin-turbo inline four-cylinder engine with 255 hp (190 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear axle via an 8-speed automatic transmission. Customers who want the 6-speed manual version can count on 258 lb-ft (350 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 5.2 seconds (4.8 seconds with the automatic transmission) with a top speed of 149 mph (240 kph).

The Morgan Plus Six is powered by a BMW 3.0-liter B58 twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine with 335 hp (250 kW) and 369 lb ft (500Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission with sport, sport+ and manual shift modes. It reaches 62 mph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 166 mph (267 kph).

When it comes to price, Morgan has not yet revealed how much the refreshed models will cost.
