Pininfarina Cars

After I introduced you to Sergio Pininfarina and his design company yesterday, I will present to you a few cars who were designed by this world renowned car stylist.

The very first body, Farina designed was the Lancia Dilambdia in 1931.

The Cisitalia 202 revolutionized sports car design because everything was part of the overall look and streamlined.

In 1957, the Ferrari 250 GT Coupé was developed.

With increasing fame, Sergio Pininfarina was also hired for project in England and the US. Among other things, we designed the Chevrolet Corvette Rondine in 1962, which never made it to the car dealers. This is probably one of the reasons, why collectors pay top dollar nowadays to get their hand on one.

The Ferrari Dino was supposed to be a entry level, mid engine rear-drive sportscar that was fully designed by Sergio and soon it became so popular, that the Dino line was reimplemented into Ferrari.

While, the Ferraris are certainly attractive cars, Pininfarina also designed cars for the mass market such aus Fiat, Peugeot or Alfa Romeo etc.Moreover, Sergio designed protoypes that were focused on green driving back in the 1970′s.
