Six Pininfarina jewels for the Turin Auto Show


Pininfarina is “in six” for the #parcovalentino Turin #auto Show, which will start on Wednesday June 6th. At the Prototypes Exhibition, set up at #parcovalentino until June 10th, visitors can admire the Lancia Florida II, the Sigma Grand Prix and the Ferrari Mythos and Sergio. Another #pininfarina masterpiece, the Jaguar XJS, will parade along the streets of Turin on the evening of June 6th during the Supercar Night Parade with an exceptional driver, Chairman Paolo #pininfarina. At the arrival at Caselle airport, tourists will be welcomed by the futuristic Sintesi concept car. The Prototypes Exhibition has been created with the intention of turning the spotlight on the creativity of Italian and foreign "coachbuilders" and #design studios in a summa of what car #design has produced over the last 60 years. Pininfarina's genius and ability to innovate will be represented by four models. Starting with the Lancia Florida II, a milestone in #design, with stylistic elements that for many years influenced world production. Personal car of the Founder #battistapininfarina, who presented it at the 1957 Turin Motor Show, it is still exhibited in the #pininfarina Collection in Cambiano. The Sigma Grand Prix of 1969 reinterpreted and renewed the concept of Formula 1 by introducing important safety contents aimed at drastically reducing the intrinsic risk component in this sport. Result of the work of an international team of experts, the prototype incorporated solutions that were futuristic at the time and became today in common use, such as the safety tanks and the onboard fire protection system. With the Mythos and Sergio, instead, the fascination of a historical collaboration relives, the one that for over 70 years has combined #pininfarina and Ferrari. Presented at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989, the Mythos is a 2-seater barchetta on the mechanics of the Testarossa, much appreciated for its perfect balance between aesthetic emotion and technical rationality, winner of the Car #design Award 1990. Also Sergio, unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2013 to celebrate the Life Senator Sergio #pininfarina, it is a two-seater barchetta, this time on a mechanical basis of the Ferrari 458 Spider. Born as a concept car, it became a reality in 2015, when 6 units were produced and sold.
