Pininfarina Sintesi Concept Design

BY STEVE SILER


Pininfarina reinvents everything but the wheel.
Boutique carmakers and coachbuilders are in the spotlight at every Geneva auto show. This year, Pininfarina demonstrates it can fashion more than Ferraris with its radical four-door Sintesi.
The fuel-cell-powered Sintesi concept’s slippery styling utilizes as many aero devices and forms on its underside as on its body, with weight distribution and passenger space optimized by spreading the powertrain components throughout the body structure rather than concentrating them together in front, in back, or in the middle.

Cool design details include a narrow band of headlamps, jewel-like surface faceting, polygonal door cuts, and a skeletal body structure that resembles a calamari skate.



Powertrain and other details will follow from the Geneva show floor.
